YES!

In an interview with io9 Ender Wiggin actor, Asa Butterfield, revealed that the Mind Game will be included in the ‘Ender’s Game’ movie. He says,

“Probably one of the hardest scenes for Ender was leaving his sister, back on Earth. I think that’s one of the things that really damaged him. As you can see in the mind game, as well.”

Previous reports told us that the Mind Game had been cut from the movie, but it seems director Gavin Hood has decided to keep it! Who’s excited?

Asa also reveals that Ender’s age has been bumped up to thirteen or fourteen, his stern off-set relationship with Harrison Ford, and how he filmed those frozen battle room shots. Read more in io9.

The ‘Ender’s Game’ film will be released in U.S. theaters on November 1, 2013.
