Ender’s Game (dt. Ender’s Game – Das große Spiel). Der erste Trailer für die Verfilmung von Orson Scott Cards gleichnamigen Science Fiction-Bestsellers steht bereit, um den galaktischen Krieg (der Kinder) einzuleiten. In Deutschland läuft Gavin Hoods Film mit Asa Butterfield, Ben Kingsley und Harrison Ford voraussichtlich am 31. Oktober 2013 an.
„After an alien race called the Formics attacks Earth, the International Fleet prepare for the next invasion by training the best young children to find the future leader to lead the International Military. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy but strategically brilliant boy, is pulled out of his school to join International Fleet and attend the legendary Battle School. After easily mastering the increasingly difficult war games, distinguishing himself and winning respect among his peers, Ender is soon ordained by Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) as the military’s next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he’s trained by Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley) himself to lead the military into a war that will determine the future of Earth and the human race.“

Was soll man davon halten, wenn die Buchvorlage vom U.S. Marine Corps empfohlen wird? Yippie-Ya-Yeah Schweinebacke – geht es noch etwas plumper?
„The U.S. Marine Corps Professional Reading List makes the novel recommended reading at several lower ranks, and again at Officer Candidate/Midshipman. The book was placed on the reading list by Captain John F. Schmitt, author of FMFM-1 (Fleet Marine Fighting Manual, on maneuver doctrine) for „provid[ing] useful allegories to explain why militaries do what they do in a particularly effective shorthand way.“ In introducing the novel for use in leadership training, Marine Corps University’s Lejeune program opines that it offers „lessons in training methodology, leadership, and ethics as well [….] Ender’s Game has been a stalwart item on the Marine Corps Reading List since its inception.““

Braucht das (amerikanische) Militär ein Top Gun – The Next Generation? Der Teaser sieht danach aus. Star Trek, Star Wars, Firefly, Ender’s Game – Star Fatigue? Ganz schön erschöpfend, wie sich dieses eigentlich visionäre Genre zumindest auf der Leinwand und in der Flimmerkiste präsentiert. Wer finanziert solchen Nonsense? Wann kommt bitte das Rollenspiel, Comic oder Videospiel Children’s Space Crusade (on Terror, Aliens …)?
