I am so excited about this movie coming out, but also so scared that the movie version will never live up to the book. The actors and actresses also look way too old- the main action takes place while Ender is 6-12 years old, the kids all look like older teens.
You are right, Elyse. But I think they felt that the movie would not be believable if they kept the ages where they were in the book. And that it would be tough to find actors of those ages who could play the roles.
