Alex Kurtzman Talks Ender’s Game Movie with MTV

No Major Plot Changes Kurtzman Says

MTV caught up with Ender’s Game producer, Alex Kurtzman for the the trailer debut of the film “People Like Us” and asked him for a little Ender’s Game movie update. Here’s what he had to say:

“I’m really proud of the work everybody’s done on ‘Ender’s.’ Particularly because it’s a very complicated sprawling book that a lot of people have tried for a very long time to figure out how to make.” Kurtzman continued, “[Director] Gavin Hood, the minute that we read his script we realized that in a miraculous way he’d managed to distill down the essence of the book and the big moves to a very understandable clear format,”

Kurtzman also touched on plot changes which fans have been eager to hear about, “He had made changes that were I think totally protective of the novel, he hasn’t changed any of the plot, it’s just about not being able to put all of it in one movie. He really distills it down to its essence in a beautiful way and that was an amazing thing to see. It’s an amazing thing to see the movie come to life because it’s such a special and different movie.”
