How would you NOT have little kids being the actors, what with the main character being a little kid and all of his freinds being little kids?
they would probally do wat they did for for dune get slightly older people so they could get better actors easily, or they would get alot of reallysmall grade nines that could act, cause holly crap grade nines at my school all look younger than a fourth grader, i even saw one that looked like a 3 grader, definately something in the water, but enders game will be released as a movie adaptation with Orson writing script and screenplay so it will be really close to the book

Now i know the main characters ARE children and because of this the movie could very likely become a kids movie. Therefore i don't want there to be an Ender's Game movie, for fear of it ruining the book.
Just because Kids are in it doesn't mean it will be a kids movie. There's no law saying an 8 year old can't act out breaking another kids ribs or killing another child.. I wouldn't really reccomend that, though.
In the end, I'd rather they just made them like adolescents, but DEFINENTLY not adults or teenagers. That would defeat the whole purpose of the book/movie.
