The Ender Strategy: what is the film with Harrison Ford adapted from?


This Tuesday, May 24 from 9:05 p.m., TFX will broadcast The Ender Strategy, a science fiction film carried by Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, Harrison Ford and Viola Davis. Did you know that the feature film was taken from a novel?

In 2013, viewers were able to discover The Ender Strategy, a feature film by Gavin Hood in which we find renowned actors such as Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis and Harrison Ford, but also comedians from the new generation like Asa Butterfield (Sex Education), Hailee Steinfeld (True Grit) or Abigail Breslin (Little Miss Sunshine). The film tells the story of Ender Wiggin (played by Asa Butterfield), a shy young boy with a superior intelligence, asked to help the military forces counter the attacks of a hostile alien species in the near future. Far from being born in the imagination of director Gavin Hood, the story was born in the eponymous novel by Orson Scott Card, in 1985.

The Ender strategy: these actors who almost got the main role

Several years passed before Gavin Hood could adapt the work to the screen, posing among other things the problem of the casting of the main actor. Indeed, Ender was supposed to be a child, the candidates took turns on the list before finally being too old to play the role. Before Gavin Hood set his sights on the young Asa Butterfield in 2013, Orson Scott Card had in mind Jake Lloyd (the actor who played Anakin Skywalker as a child in The Phantom Menace in 1999) then Nathan Gamble (the son of Commissioner Gordon in The Dark Knight in 2008). For practical reasons, instead of taking place over six years as in the original novel, the film retraces only one year of the story of Ender Wiggin, thus making it possible to keep the same actor.
