    Director Gavin Hood talks military, self-discovery in ‘Ender’s Game’

    by W. Andrew Powell October 31, 2013
    by W. Andrew Powell October 31, 2013

    Ender’s Game director Gavin Hood has an uncommon connection with Ender Wiggin, the main character in his big screen adaptation of the award-winning science fiction novel by Orson Scott Card. At the age of 17, Hood was drafted into the army and served two years, which he said helped him relate to the story, and Ender’s troubles within Battle School.
