Cloud Atlas is on my reading list, but I still have an unfinished David Mitchell (Ghostwritten),

so I'll probably just wait for the movie.

Ender's Game by Orson Scott Card

 

 

Looking forward to this also...think Starship Troopers meets The Hunger Games (it's from Lionsgate, the studio behind HG)

 

The cast is led by Oscar nominees Asa Butterfield (Hugo) - who plays Ender Wiggin - along with Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine) and Hallee Steinfeld (True Grit) as some of his Battle School-mates as well as Harrison Ford, Viola Davis and Sir Ben Kingsley. Gavin Hood (X-Men Origins: Wolverine) directs from a screenplay by Card himself.

 

Btw, one of the Ender's Battle School-mates is the Filipino Fly Molo, to be portrayed by Brandon Soohoo (the child soldier from Tropic Thunder)

this caught my eye so i ended up downloading e-books of the Ender's Saga.

blazed through ender's game and liked it a lot.

dove into the 2nd (and 3rd) book.

medyo tinabangan ng onti so i backed off for a bit.

 

so i peeked at the first few pages of

Warm Bodies

while flying to work.

pretty good 'hook'. though obvious nga na bagong sibol lang yung author. hindi din ako nagulat when i found out na it seems na galing interwebz lang yung idea and this is his first book. lucky that he got a book AND movie deal out of it.

Got a pretty long wishlist:

Michael Moorcock's Elric series could make a good film franchise...if Guilliermo del Toro would be producing. Paul Bettany would make a perfect Elric, with Rupert Grint as Moonglum. Rounding out the cast would be Penelope Cruz as Cymoril and Antonio Banderas as Yyrkoon

Alfred Bester's The Stars My Destination has all the tropes to make a prime Summer Blockbuster^TM tentpole release - starring Bradley Cooper as Guilly Foyle/Geoffrey Fourmyle, Chrstina Hendricks as Jisbella McQueen and Zoe Saldana as Robin Wednesbury (did I mention Jason Statham as Saul Dagenham????)

Supposedly a book from the potter series to be turned into a film...

Some are already talkinb about Evana Lynch to get in on this.

Are the books that were based from computer games or gaming cards included? I would love to see Starcraft and Magic the Gathering in the silverscreen.

Has anyone here read All You Need is k*ll already?

 

It's the Japanese light novel that Edge of Tomorrow is supposed to be based on. How was it? What did you think?
