i would rather orson scott card take his time to write a good script than do it in a hurry and have the movie be crappy. although it's probably going to be difficult to please the hardcore fans no matter what.
speaking of OSC, the book i'm currently reading is also written by him. it's called empire, and as far as i can tell, it's about terrorists and the u.s. government. i'm not sure if i like it yet or not.
I agree with you that I want him to do a good job on the script, however he is on at least his 3rd or 4th version of it, and still it hasnt gone though. I really hope the whole project wont get cancelled, because I have been waiting for this move for like 4 years and still they havent even began shooting it.Originally Posted by saman
Those who have read this book series should know a few the difficulties associated with filming this particular book.
On a side note, OSC announced a few months ago I believe that he is writting 2 more Ender's books:
*Ender in Exile: Ganges*(taken from wikipedia)
-(working title) is a yet-to-be-published science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card, which will be a prequel to Speaker for the Dead.
Very little about the book is known at this time; Card announced it, along with Shadows in Flight, but it is not known how much work he has done on either novel or even whether he has started them.
*Shadows in Flight*(taken from wikipedia)
-Shadows in Flight is a yet-to-be-published science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card, which will link the Bean quartet back to the Ender novels.
Very little about the book is known at this time; Card has announced it, along with a prequel to Speaker for the Dead tentatively titled Ender in Exile: Ganges, but it is not known how much work he has done on either novel or even whether he has started them.
Card has stated explicitly that Shadows in Flight will wrap up some of the plot threads left dangling in Shadow of the Giant. However, in an interview with SciFi.com, he established that Flight would pick up where Children of the Mind (the final book in the Ender quartet) left off, as opposed to starting with the ending of Giant.

Wow, so [spoiler omitted] continued that long. I'll be looking forward to Shadows in Flight.
As for Empire, I read most of it. But for some reason I never finished it, something that never happens to me, regardless of author. I did enjoy it, but I must have gotten distracted by something...
I've been forced to read quite a bit of novels for my Lit classes, and though I usually don't like when I'm forced to read (one should be reading for pleasure really), I was surprised how much I enjoyed some of the books.
Perhaps my favorite of them was The Professor's House by Willa Cather. Not too much happens in it overall, but the interactions with the family get pretty interesting about halfway into the first part. It's an older one, but worth a try.
