Ender’s Game Movie Auditions Two More Characters

Two School Bullies


You can see here, that two new names have been added to the list of roles currently auditioning for the Ender’s Game Movie. They are listed as Bernard, and Stilson (fka Stillman). For those unfamiliar with the abbreviation “fka”, it means “formerly known as.”


It is interesting that the role of Stilson is described as a “stillman.” Orson Scott said once said (see it here) that the Ender’s Game movie would start with Ender immediately leaving for battle school, which means there wouldn’t be time for Stilson’s death to appear in the movie. Perhaps because Stilson will be a “stillman,” Stilson will appear as a flashback in Ender’s memory- lying dead on the ground. Or perhaps because Stilson is formerly known as “stillman” the role of Stilson will have an expanded role in the film.
