Hugo Cabret’s Asa Butterfield will destroy an alien race in Ender’s Game

At fourteen years old, Asa Butterfield is suddenly all A-list. First, he’s in Hugo, the new Scorsese movie that opens next week, based on the novel The Invention of Hugo Cabret and now we hear he’s going to be leading in the film adaptation of the Orson Scott Card novel, Ender’s Game.

Summit Entertainment will release the film March 15, 2013. Gavin Hood, who helmed Tsotsi and Wolverine, is directing. Ender’s Game is a seminal futuristic novel that Card originated as a short story in 1977 and then turned into a 1985 book that won both the Hugo and Nebula Awards and spawned a series. The storyline begins on Earth after an alien attack, when gifted children are recruited by a government desperate to fight back. The kids are taught a competitive game that’s a cross between the Quidditch matches of Harry Potter and the Jedi light saber battles from Star Wars. Only the best and brightest will be chosen. A young boy emerges as a genius strategist, and the planet’s best hope to destroy the alien Formic race.
