‘Ender’s Game’ Film is “Wonderful”

Toned-Down Violence, Aiming at PG-13 Rating

‘Ender’s Game’ movie actor, Brandon Soo Hoo, was recently interviewed by Geek Legacy. Brandon told Geek Legacy that he was a fan of the book and how excited he was when he was cast as Fly Molo. He also noted a few of the book for film adaptions that had to be made, including toning down some of the violence:

GL: How close is the film to the actual story in the book? I understand that some things have to be left out to fit it into a movie, but how much did things actually change from the book to the movie?
B: While adapting the book to a script, our director Gavin [Hood] took much care to keep most things accurate to the book. Though, due to the PG-13 rating, some of the more graphic content was toned down.

GL: How does the movie portray the army? Are there a lot more, a lot less, or close to the same amount of member in the movie?
B: There were actually quite a few Battle School students hired for the film; around 40 or 50. There are probably hundreds in the book itself, but for the production, 50 was plenty.

Brandon also dished about a prank on fellow cast member, Moises Arias (Bonzo Madrid):

GL: Were there any pranks while you were on set?
B: Too many pranks to keep track of. One particularly nasty one involved waking up Moises [Arias, who plays Bonzo] with a mouthful of Tobasco. Moises hates spicy food, so he wasn’t happy about this one.
