Hailee Steinfeld, an Oscar nominee for her role in ‘True Grit,’ is in negotiations to join the adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s novel ‘Ender’s Game.’ The novel is about a future where the brightest young kids are brought together to fight an alien invasion. If everything works out, she’ll be playing Petra, “the lone female in the child army who develops a relationship with the lead character,” according to The Hollywood Reporter. Asa Butterfield recently confirmed that he is officially cast in the lead role, Ender Wiggin, while Harrison Ford is reportedly among a list of choices to join the cast as Colonel Hyrum Graff. Do you think Hailee is a good fit for the role of Petra?
Wow, she would be awesome!! I was actually thinking of her for Valentine, but, now that you mention it, she would be a good Petra.
I think she’d be amazing in the role! Can’t wait to see her confirmed for it!
NICE! I’m so excited. This is awesome.
First Asa, now Hailee. This movie is going to be awesome. She’s a really great actress and she deserves to star in a big project like this.
SHE IS PERFECT! SHE ACTS PERFECT! SHE IS SOOOOOO AMAZING, AND I THINK ENDER’S GAME WILL BE AWSOMEEEEE
I think she will do well acting wise, but my concern is her age. They are supposed to be really young, so unless they change that she will have issues. Ender even said she looked like a boy when he first met her.
