It looks like a panel might be set for Ender’s Game. Remember last year Ender’s Game made a small appearance at SDCC 2012. Well, seeing as this year the movie is set to premiere, Comic-Con seems like a great way to go with promotion and to enlighten fans with some inside scoop of the film and interviews with the cast.

Comic-Con 2012!

Posted by ausomejen on

Scheduling of the 2012 Comic-Con has been everywhere. Panels here, signings there, booths to visit, freebies to catch. For those wondering what else to look for in San Diego’s convention here is a list of some Ender’s Game/Orson Scott Card related events that you can look out for.

First off, Orson Scott Card will be attending the panel, “A Wrinkle in Time”, for the 2012 Comic-Con on Saturday July 14th at 3:00-4:00pm in room 23ABC.

The panel features many science fiction and fantasy authors who will be discussing their take upon the futuristic dimension. Here is the description of the panel from Comic-Con:

3:00-4:00 A Wrinkle in Time— ”To boldly go where no man has gone before” is the phrase that has greeted many of us who have looked to the heavens in awe. From the far-flung reaches of the Milky Way to the mind-bending possibilities of time travel, let the authors of speculative fiction tell you what they see when they venture to other dimensions. Board a starship to the future with David Brin (Existence), Deborah Harkness (Shadow of Night),Michael Cassutt (co-author of Heaven’s Shadow trilogy), Charles Yu (Sorry Please Thank You), Phil Hornshaw (co-author of So You Created a Wormhole), Peter F. Hamilton (The Nano Flower), Orson Scott Card (Earth Unaware, Ender’s Game), and Hope Larson (A Wrinkle in Time graphic novel), captained by Maryelizabeth Hart of Mysterious Galaxy.Room 23ABC

Secondly, Aaron Johnston posted on his website a list of panels that he and Orson Scott Card will be attending. Primarily, for their book Earth Unaware but he was also generous enough to include the scheduled panels where Orson Scott Card and his daughter Emily Card are going to be at as well. Here is the schedule:

25 Copies of ‘Ender’s World’ to be given away at San Diego Comic-Con

Posted by tfgeekgirl on

Smart Pop Books will be at the San Diego International Comic Convention July 12-15 and they’ll be giving attendees a chance to win one of 25 copies of Ender’s World (edited by Orson Scott Card himself), a book that will not be coming out until February 2013.

If you are going to be at the San Diego Comic-Con, then be sure to check out their booth and get your badge scanned to enter the drawing.

Come by and ask us to scan your badge to be entered to win an advance copy of Ender’s World. We’ll pick the winners after the end of the convention and notify you via email. Then we’ll ship you your copy, hot off the presses, as soon as they’re printed!

Here’s the synopsis:

Ender’s World conscripts almost two dozen writers of science fiction, fantasy, and young adult books to offer new perspectives on the 1985 novel, along with insights gleaned from other Ender stories that fit within the Ender’s Game chronology, including Ender in Exile and Ender’s Shadow. In addition, military strategists Colonel Tom Ruby and Captain John Schmitt offer insight into the human-Formic war. A contribution from Aaron Johnson, the coauthor of the Formic Wars prequel novels, is also included.

The collection’s insightful analyses and moving personal essays are rounded out with short pieces answering more technically oriented questions about the Ender universe, including: Why is the Battle Room a cube? and Why did the military recruit their soldiers as children?

Ender’s Game At Comic Con 2013

Posted by ausomejen on

It could be a strategy to advertise Ender’s Game, just like Lionsgate began with The Hunger Games. As Variety reported, the push back date of November 1, 2013 may allow Summit to take advantage of the opportunity to preview Ender’s Game at the 2013 Comic Con.

Lionsgate, who recently acquired Summit, made a similar move promoting The Hunger Games where they set up a booth passing out posters and Mockingjay pins. Possibly, since now merged, Summit will take that strategy to promote Ender’s Game in July 2013 at the four day event.

This move can bring great potential to the Ender’s Game film. Exposing it to sci-fi crazed fans will be a great move on Summit’s part. No official announcement has been made to assure this will happen but it may be likely to come true. We will keep you all updated on further news.

Will you attend that years comic-con if Ender’s Game representatives were to set up a booth?
