The Darkside of Ender's Game Movie Promotion

There is a new and final Ender's Game Movie Poster that will be coming out today over at IGN.com
Which I am sure will be polished and beautiful, but I still would like to see some promotion that caters to the darker elements of the story and to Ender's character.

OK maybe that is a bit too much.... It's a sci-fi movie not a horror show. The background image of the blood flowing into the drain comes from the work of this photographer, Ross Golden.

Check out some of his awesome work.

When I read the book as a younger man, I thought Ender was totally justified in his actions of taking lives in the defense of his own and humanity. Upon rereading multiple times, I don't feel the same as I did then. Which is weird because I now understand how the sentiment of humanity turned from seeing Ender as its savior to someone who is the object of scorn. Time to reread Speaker for the Dead with different eyes and heart.

That was one of moral questions that confronts you in the book that I hope is not watered down in the midst of the lush visuals in the movie. RIP Stilson, Bonzo, and the whole Formic Race.

Ender's Game Propaganda Posters! I like how this is shaping up!

Over at the IF-Sentinel.com site there has been some new and welcome updates. First, a MUCH better site layout and graphics and also some new propaganda posters encouraging everyone to join the IF to fight the Buggers, oops, I mean Formics. Take a look.

As you well know I did some fan propaganda posters latter half of 2012... I am pleased that some of the themes of the posters that I derived and resonated with me and other Ender's Game fans from the book also made it into the Movie marketing campaign. I hope to see more!

 

Although, not a propaganda poster, I do like how the Flash Suits for the movie are more in line with how I envisioned them back in 2001. Being more like a motorcycle suit, slender, not so bulky as portrayed in the comic adaptation.

Mazer is my Enemy

At least that's what he wants you to think, Ender.

The trailer got me HYPED.  I'm back on creating some IF Propaganda again...

Man, I told myself I would stop once the official graphic design stuff started coming out, but I'm not satisfied with what I am seeing. I know it's early,in the marketing campaign, but I need something with a little more edge. Ya feel me?

Pretend- Music Inspired by the Ender's Game Movie

Recently, a friend of mine and musical genius Noah Silver asked me to do some cover artwork for a release of his Ender's Game inspired song "Pretend."

 

Go download this song at his Bandcamp site: http://noahsilvermusic.bandcamp.com/track/pretend-enders-game-credits-song  This song should be on the movie soundtrack it sums up the Ender experience as a whole and is a damn good song!

Or listen to it hear it here:

Noah, myself and Steve Sywak are planning to shoot a music video for this song later this summer1 Stay tuned for details!!!
