Asa Butterfield as Andrew "Ender" Wiggin

Asa Bopp Farr Butterfield was born on April 1, 1997, in Islington, London.  He has starred in many movies as a young boy, starting with The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas when he was only 10 years old.  During this time, he also appeared in an episode of Merlin, as the main character's younger self.  But, Butterfield became widely known for his performance in Hugo as the title character, Hugo Cabret.  In 2011, he won the award Best Youth in Film at the Las Vegas Film Critics Society.  Now he is starring in Ender's Game as the main character, Ender Wiggin, which is bound to be a stunning performance.

Of course, I had to do Asa, because it is all about him today!  I have been following a lot of fan sites on Facebook and watching every video and interview that pops up, and I have to say, I haven't been this excited for a movie before.  This morning, my mom informed me of a not-so-positive review that said that it was the standard sci-fi film, just like all the rest.  But, what gave me hope was that he said that all of the fans of the book will enjoy it, because they won't really care about the comparisons to other films.  Whew! Got me a little scared there!  Honestly, I am going to have to be ready for some disappointment.  There is no way that they stayed strictly to the book.  There's just no way.  I just hope that they included some of the more deep elements regarding Ender, Valentine, Peter, and their personalities and relationships with each other.  That's what's really going to make this one stand out from the rest of the sci-fi genre.

IT'S OUT!  GO SEE IT!
