A new image from the Ender’s Game film has been released, showing the chip on Ender’s neck!
The image was released on the official Tumblr page, and shows the back of Ender (played by Asa Butterfield)’s neck, where a governmental chip has been installed to monitor his behaviour. They write:
Though Ender’s world is one worth saving, it sometimes comes with a price. The novel was amazingly prescient about a great many things: remote controlled drone wars, the internet, the influence of blogging, hand held computing tablets like the I-Pad, and of course, electronic surveillance implants. Implanted tracking and monitoring chips are no longer a science fiction concept. They exist now. And one day, they may be as advanced as the monitor implanted into Ender, which allows Colonel Graff to “see through his eyes” and know: HE’S THE ONE.
The film doesn’t come out until November 2013, but we hope they continue to tease us and get us excited with small insights into the world like this! The Orson Scott Card series is so rich with detail, there’s plenty to explore that they won’t have time to explain on screen.
