Ender's Game is an upcoming American science fiction film based on the novel of the same name by Orson Scott Card. Directed and written by Gavin Hood, the film will star Asa Butterfield as Andrew "Ender" Wiggin, an unusually gifted child who is sent to an advanced military school in space to prepare for a future alien invasion, leading an ensemble cast that includes Harrison Ford, Ben Kingsley, Aramis Knight, Hailee Steinfeld, Jimmy Pinchak, Viola Davis, and Abigail Breslin. In November 2010, Card stated that the film's storyline would be a fusion of Ender's Game and its parallel novel, Ender's Shadow, focusing on the important elements of both.[3]

Ender's Game is a movie you should not go out and see, on the strength of it making you someone who empowers an foolish man with money. This isn't an appeal to your nature on the level of say, those anti-Monsanto things you might see on Facebook occasionally. Orson Scott Card is a small enough brand, that is easily enough harmed. You, your friends and loved ones can do the morally correct thing and actively work to hurt the financial success of this film and the idea that it is okay to empower foolish people with money.

THINGS YOU CAN DO TO RUIN THE LEGACY AND FINANCIAL WELL BEING OF KNOWN BIGOT EXTRAORDINAIRE ORSON SCOTT CARD:

1. If for any reason your child comes across the Ender series of books (which really speaks to young adults) do not let them read those books. If they do, explain to them the authoritarian and borderline pedophilia tones that happen in later entries in the series, and the bigoted works Orson Scott Card put out for an older audience, as well as the video game Shadow Complex that is related to that bigoted series.

2. Interrupt or become rude during airings of the trailer of Ender's Game that precede Star Trek: Into Darkness.

3. Do not watch the film with your child. Explain to your child that Orson Scott Card is a terrible bigot, and that his works are wolves in sheeps clothing, preying on the sensibilities of the young.

4. Tell your friends to not watch the movie, or let their children read his books, citing the above information.

5. Tell your family to not watch the movie or read the books, citing the above information.

6. Tell people you do not even know, be it on a social networking platform or message board or the like to follow the above steps to do the morally correct thing in helping this film and book series fail before any further damage to society happens.

7. Repeat the above with coworkers or really, anybody who will listen.
