Orson Scott Card's ENDER'S GAME has a director and a studio

Hey folks, Harry here... Got a call today from my spy inside Warner Brothers. Seems that besides being terrified of the mega-bomb SCOOBY DOO, which the studio has marketed to perfection, but unlike SPIDER-MAN will drop the ball completely upon delivery. Beside telling me a retarded bit about how in the Wonder Woman movie coming, Wonder Woman dies at the beginning and some inky creepy power thing seeks out her long lost daughter to magically transform her into the next Wonder Woman, and upon exhibiting these skills her fly girlfriend says, "You are some sort of WONDER... WOMAN!" UGH... Well amongst the bad news and hands being held over their heads screaming with clumps of their own human hair about the insanity that is Warner Brothers... BTW... The next HARRY POTTER will kick ass and EIGHT LEGGED FREAKS delivers the goods... Well my spy tells me that Orson Scott Card's long languishing in pitch hell adaptation of ENDER'S GAME will finally be finding a home with Warner Brothers. Not only that, but the director of THE NEVERENDING STORY and DAS BOOT will be directing. That's right, Wolfgang Petersen has signed on to direct this epic of science fiction cool! Can't imagine a better director for this film personally. He is brutal and human and great with kids. This could be a great film if they nail the script. I'm gonna dig for more details and see if I can get Wolfgang or Orson or Lorenzo on the horn to comment on whatever it is they are going to be doing with this. But ya know what... They got the right director, now all they have to do is have a great script and make a great movie. Simple. heheheh...
