re: #6 Political Atheist
Very valid points. However, if the movie is a hit, who will benefit? The studios and actors, but Card as well, even if he doesn’t see any of the box office money. Since studios love sequels, they’ll probably option Ender’s Shadow (if they haven’t already) and/or possibly look at other works from Card.
It’s also possible I’m not rational about this; he is a vile human being, he supports and advocates for people and beliefs that turns my stomach and anything associated with him will forever be tainted for me.
