I don’t know much about the upcoming sci-fi Ender’s Game, but the adaptation of Orson Scott Card’s novel is certainly something people are looking out for. So, for those people, here’s a look at Ender’s room from the official production blog where they write:
The more futuristic the world, the more invisible its technology. So why shouldn’t Ender’s room look just like any normal kid’s room? And not every future is a dark dystopia.
Ender will be played by Hugo lead actor Asa Butterfield and the film is set to hit theaters on November 1, 2013. [source]

A pair of Nancy Meyers projects were recently announced, the first being The Chelsea, which was written by her daughter Hallie Meyers-Shyer with Felicity Jones (Like Crazy) set to star in what is being described only as an ensemble dramedy set in the Chelsea Apartments in New York City. [source]
Fey will play the founder of an e-business with a fashion focus. As her company begins to thrive, she’s told that her company is importing seniors to be interns as a community outreach effort, and she’s getting one. While her first question is whether they are seniors in high school or college, she learns to her horror that she’s getting a real senior, as in senior citizen. The title character, an over-70 widower who is bored with retirement from a middle management career, initially seems like a fossil to his working mother boss, but grows more indispensable. While the boss and internship develop a platonic bond, Meyers tells me that to her this is a love story about the friendship they develop.
While it’s unclear which film will get underway first, The Intern is expected to begin shooting at the beginning of 2013. Meyers wrote the script. [source]
