Peter/Valentine Forest Scene?
Although filming for Ender’s Game isn’t scheduled to begin until after the new year, rumor has it that Ender’s Game (at least parts of it) will be shot in South Africa. American Peter Safran describes the landscape, “..the locations are limitless. Desert, beach, urban, jungle … whatever you want to shoot, it exists in South Africa.”
As fans of Ender’s Game, we can easily predict that most scenes will be shot in space stations, e.i. Battle School and Command School, due to the nature of the book and movie.
So why South Africa? Maybe that’s where Hood will film Ender’s short leave on Earth, when he builds a raft and swims out with Valentine. Although, Orson Scott Card has previously said that Peter and Valentine would not be emphasized in a movie version of Ender’sGame, we think South African sounds like a perfect location to shoot a Peter/Valentine forest scene- dead and tortured squirrels and all.
What scene do imagine they’ll shoot in South Africa?
