Ender’s Game Sequel Could Land on TV
/Flim:
Briefly: ‘Tis the season for the corporate earnings call, and we’re getting a lot of interesting news out of a couple of these conferences between execs and shareholders. Disney had its call yesterday, and opened the day by announcing four new Marvel shows and an “event miniseries” on Netflix — a good way to keep shareholders happy on the important day.
Lionsgate did its own call today, and one question concerned the future of Ender’s Game as a possible franchise. The film directed by Gavin Hood hasn’t performed in quite the way a company might hope a big sci-fi piece would, with $41m in global earnings so far, but that’s not so bad for a film that has a story and ending like Ender’s. The film, which hews close to the source material in many ways, isn’t quite a big crowd-rousing spectacle.
