He said he had received many offers to make 'Ender's Game' into a movie, but once he gave it up, whether it was good or not, the characters were out of his hands. That's why it hasn't been made into a film yet.<br /><br />We create these characters and they are precious to us. Thanks for your take on this! And thanks, Mason, for introducing me to a new author!<br /><br />MicheleJournoMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170364981958685438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-90249175045796198882010-12-12T07:34:54.651-05:002010-12-12T07:34:54.651-05:00Mason - Thanks for hosting Eric.
