Writers on Board for Ender's Game

IGN's FilmForce is reporting that Orson Scott Card has endorsed the selection of the screenplay writers for the movie adaptation of Ender's Game.
Fresco Pictures has announced that David Benioff and his writing colleague Dan Weiss will be penning a script for the science fiction movie. The screenplay will be based on both the novels Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow by renowned sci-fi-fantasy author Orson Scott Card. Benioff's last project was the adaptation of Troy for the big screen.

Orson Scott Card endorsed the selection of Benioff to develop the screenplay, citing Troy as an example of the writer's talents. "Mr. Benioff proved with Troy that he could adapt a long work to fit the brevity of film, while preserving what is most powerful and effective in the original.
This is great news. Finally, we'll get to see the movie of this amazing sci-fi story on the silver screen. Can't wait. Hope it'll as good as LOTR.
