Actor’s Father Hints at Sequels

Reportedly, the father of Suraj Pathasarathy (the actor who will play Alai) recently let it slip on Twit.tv‘s live CES (Consumer Electronics Show) coverage that filmmakers are already planning to make the Ender’s Game movie into sequels. Speaking to Leo Laporte, and unknowingly live, the father of Suraj Partha said (again reportedly, follow up to come) “between you and me, it’s slated for more than one film.”

Of course rumors over sequels for the Ender’s Game movie have been swirling around for some time. Both Tor (Ender’s Game publisher) and Deadline have speculated that Summit Entertainment originally picked up Ender’s Game with the purpose of building a money-making franchise to rival Lionsgate’s Hunger Games franchise. Now, with Summit Entertainment and Lionsgate headed for a $700 million merger deal, a sequel or sequels to the Ender’s Game movie would benefit both parties.

Of course, there is no official word on any Ender’s Game sequels. If Twit.tv makes this netcast with Suraj Partha’s father available, we’ll be sure share the link! Which sequel or sequels would you most like to see on the big screen, Ender’s Shadow or Speaker for the Dead? Thanks Rob for the tip!
