Wolverine director Gavin Hood will write and helm the film version of Orson Scott Card's 1985 novel Enders Game, reports Variety.
The story follows a child super soldier who plays a long simulation of Earth's fight against the 'bugger' race of alien insects. As the 'game' wears on, he begins to lose his sanity and makes a final and devastating decision that has real world consequences.
Here's hoping Hood bounces back after two very mediocre films (Rendition came before Wolverine).
