Re: Stilson
It always amazes me how old the actors for young kids always are. He looks good for the part, though.
I used to hate gravity because it would not let me fly. Now I realize it is gravity that lets me stand.

Re: Stilson
Haha! That's pretty funny. But man, now we're on somewhat-bit parts. I'm excited for news of Peter and Valentine, personally. But Stilson. Man. Stop making this so real.

Yes! Though, to be honest, as long as he's not blond and can act, I'll probably be mostly happy.I'm excited for news of Peter

Re: Stilson
Exactly how I pictured Stilson, but a little smaller would be nice(:

Re: Stilson
They better be finishing casting pretty quickly on ALL the parts. Isn't filming/actual production due to start in January, or am I just making that up?
Way cool.

Re: Stilson
Holy s***, Stilson is in this script? Amazing, wonderful news that bodes well for the film, imo.
So, Lone Star, now you see that evil will always triumph because good is dumb.

Re: Stilson
I don't know why I feel like I have to post this as a spoiler, but:
Did anyone notice there's a new member named Brendan? With all this kid's been tweeting about Ender's Game it wouldn't surprise me if it was really him.

Whether or not, you can LIKE his page at Facebook here.
Re: Stilson
Turn's out my guess was wrong. Still, judging from his facebook page he's very interactive with his fans, which is good- I'll expect tweets/facebook posts from the movie set!Whether or not, you can LIKE his page at Facebook here.

Re: Stilson
I tweeted him and started following him. SO CUTE. He tweeted me back saying he was extremely pumped for this. He seems to sincerely be excited.

Re: Stilson
Well, Asa just tweeted, "First day of filming today! So excited " so, who knows what's going on
Re: Stilson
It is possible they will be coming back later in the filming and are just leaving since they're not needed for the beginning days. I saw an extra's twitter who said she was in the filming this week, but another who identified her role as a "commander", who was filming later in the month of March and April. I think filming really did begin today.

I found that person's twitter through a EnderSpeaker handle retweet, which seems to be finding anything said about EG on twitter. lol
Remember, Ender's Ansible posted a picture of the extras casting, and it had a LOT of girls.

Re: Stilson
Well that's funky news. I wonder if they've given Brendan a new role, or if he's out of the movie.
"But the conversation of the mind was truer than any language, and they knew each other better than they ever could have by use of mere sight and touch."
Re: Stilson
For such a (comparatively) unimportant role, maybe they found they had to use an alternate. Brendan has a lot of other shows he does, maybe there was too much of a conflict ???? But yeah, strange news.Well that's funky news. I wonder if they've given Brendan a new role, or if he's out of the movie.
Re: Stilson
I know the kid has other jobs, But Stilson is basically only in 2 scenes in the book.
1. With Ender at school in class when ender returns from having the device pullled from neck
2. When he actully fights Ender and dies.
To me, these are 2 easy scenes to get done, but seems there are some changes being done. I assume Stilson wont be killed for some reason.
Brendan schedule maybe just wouldnt work with what Hood needed. It still seems odd to me because its only 2 scenes. who know...
Anyone know anything about this new kid?

Re: Stilson
As I said on the other thread, an assistant tweeted "Fighting boys!!! #EnderGaming" -- I don't know whether this is some reference to something not really related to the movie, or a direct reference to the scene they were filming today.I know the kid has other jobs, But Stilson is basically only in 2 scenes in the book.

They probably will keep in the Stilson scene - all the drafts in the past have included it, just with varying ways to tell it without making Ender seem so terrible. The only question is ''how'' they choose to show it.
Re: Stilson
The new Stilson looks very much like Peter... wonder if it was intentional

Re: Stilson
It's official - Stilson has been changed.
From Brendan Meyer’s Facebook page:
“Hey guys. Unfortunately, I had to leave the cast of Ender's Game due to a last minute scheduling conflict. Although I'm disappointed, I wish the cast and crew all the best with this awesome movie. I'll be announcing my new & exciting projects in the next couple of days, so keep an eye out. Thanks for your support!”
This would jive with the report of Caleb J. Thaggard playing the role of Stilson as was reported earlier.
