[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mucus: [QB] There's an interesting article on the Ender's Game novel to movie conversion underway. [URL=http://www.aint-it-cool-news.com/display.cgi?id=12681]AICN - link[/URL] Of particular interest [QUOTE] A second clause he [Orson Scott Card] did not get in was this; the races/nationalities of the children in the battleschool reflect, approximately and proportionally, the races/nationalities of the world. In other words only about 25% white, if that; it is after all a worldwide school, taking only the twenty brightest children, culled from the entire world, about every 3-6 months. He was flat out told "Not a chance in hell. There will be a handful of token characters from other races but every other child will be white." As the studio execs pointed out, if there are too many background characters that aren't white, white people will be afraid to go see it. [/QUOTE]Its kinda interesting to compare this to the still mainly white casts of Star Wars and to a lesser but still noticable degree Star Trek, whatever incarnation. Kinda reminds me of the "why are there so few Asians in Star Trek" threads, but from a compltely different angle. We scare you white people :) [/QB][/QUOTE]
