ENDER'S GAME: DESCRIPTION, IMAGE

Summit Entertainment has released a description and image from Ender's Game, the adaptation of the book of the same named by Orson Scott Card.

Here's how the movie is described:

"In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Hyrum Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy, but strategically brilliant boy, is pulled out of his school to join the elite.

"Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distinguishing himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military's next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he's trained by Mazer Rackham, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race."

Hailee Steinfeld, Viola Davis and Abigail Breslin also star.

Ender's Game is directed by Gavin Hood and produced by Roberto Orci, Alex Kurtzman, Gigi Pritzker, Linda McDonough, Robert Chartoff, Lynn Hendee, Orson Scott Card and Ed Ulbrich.

The movie is scheduled for a Nov. 1 release.
