Comic-Con 2013: Asa Butterfield and Hailee Steinfeld Play Ender's Game

You probably think an action-sci-fi flick starting a bunch of kids would likely…you know…suck.

Asa Butterfield and Hailee Steinfeld would like to change your mind on that notion. The stars of Ender’s Game, the long-awaited adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s seminal sci-fi novel, were here at the Hard Rock Hotel in San Diego, CA and CraveOnline‘s own William Bibbiani got the story.

Find out what it’s like starring in the only teen sci-fi/fantasy movie that’s required reading in schools, how hard the young stars tried not to geek out around co-star Harrison Ford, and how intense Gavin Hood’s adaptation of Ender’s Game is really going to be, straight from the film’s young leads.

See the film in theaters on November 1st and keep coming back for more exclusive video coverage from Comic-Con 2013!
