EnderCast Ep. 34: Ender Wiggin, Ender Wiggin

Yesterday Crystal from EnderWiggin.net and I had the pleasure of chatting with Ender Wiggin himself Asa Butterfield as well as Ender's Game producers Bob Orci and Gigi Pritzker for an episode of EnderCast!

We didn't get to chat too long because they were all super busy at the press junket yesterday in LA, but we did get to chat with Asa about what it's like seeing his own face all over the place and the fact that he was at the movies with some "friends" of his Friday night and they didn't even get the guy an Ender's Game ICEE. ;)

Also joining us were producers Bob Orci and Gigi Pritzker and they had great things to say about their Ender's Game journey and left us with a message for fans as we countdown to the film's release.

First Look at Peter Wiggin -- Gavin Hood as the Giant in the Giant's Drink!

Thanks to Cassandra over at Ender's Ansible, we now have our first look at Peter Wiggin, the Bugger mask, and the Giant in The Giant's Drink -- portrayed by Ender's Game director Gavin Hood!

In her review of Ender's Game: Inside the World of an Epic Adventure, we find out that Hood "lent his voice and gestures to the giant" -- and we think that's pretty awesome!

Check it out:
