Ender’s Game Poster
In case you aren’t familiar with this amazing novel and the upcoming film here is the official synopsis: In the near future, a hostile alien race called the Formics have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young minds to find the future Mazer.
Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy but strategically brilliant boy, is recruited to join the elite. Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult challenges and simulations, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military’s next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he’s trained by Mazer Rackham himself to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.

In our last poll we asked what videogame you’d like to see made into a feature film. There was a tie between Dead Space and Uncharted at 30%. At least fans of Uncharted have some hope because that film has been in some form of preproduction or wiring for some time. It’s nowhere near ready to start filming but at least there are interested parties trying to make it happen. Now that Disney owns Lucasfilm there could be an Indiana Jones reboot that might crush any hope of this one finally happening though. There’s been a huge fan push for Nathan Fillion of Castle and Firefly to take the lead role in an uncharted film and we here at CineGeek could get behind that casting. Mass Effect and Halo were also close contenders in the voting. Gears of War got absolutely zero votes from you guys. Gears is a ton of fun to play but we have to agree that the story is just a mess, definitely a better game than a movie.
The summer season is nearly here and it has us excited for blockbuster films. So the next question is which film are you most excited to see this summer. Some of the contenders are of course Star Trek Into Darkness, Iron Man 3, Pain and Gain, and Oblivion. Check the poll in the right sidebar and share your opinion!

This is a year of innovation and evolution for the Nashville Film Festival and it all started before the festival’s first day. In order to give more Tennessee filmmakers a chance to see their work screened before a live audience, NaFF experimented with a new event called the “Final Cut.” At NPT Studios, in a program sponsored by “Native” Magazine, the final seven films were screened to festival members, families and friends. The audience voted on their favorite film and the winner was given the last spot available to a local short film in the festival.
