IF's Battle School Needs Recruits - New 'Ender's Game' Viral Video

"We need the best and the brightest to lead." The International Fleet is recruiting and they want you for Battle School! Wait, that doesn't make sense? Battle School is all about having the skills necessary to make it there. Ah right, which is where the "aptitude test" comes in. Just in time for Comic-Con (where there is a major viral "fan experience" planned) Summit has launched a fun new recruiting site for Ender's Game, asking fans to sign up and join the International Fleet. Alas it's just a Facebook social game, but it's cool to see them pushing marketing for this sci-fi adaptation and there's a lick of new footage to catch in the video.
First up, here's a new video from the International Fleet featuring Harrison Ford as Col. Graff requesting recruits. Watch for a few frames of new footage (and better looking VFX) plus the enlisting link at the end:
If you're interested in enlisting, you can apply at IF-BattleSchool.com and take the aptitude test for ranking:
This wasn't as impressive as I was first hoping, since it's essentially just a Facebook social tool. But this is only just the start in terms of more marketing for Ender's Game, especially with Comic-Con this week. Here are six new character posters/banners for the movie as well, which don't look that great but oh well:
We'll continue to keep you updated on Ender's Game news from Comic-Con and beyond. Stay informed.

The more I see from Harrison Ford the more uninspired and apathetic he seems about the entire thing.

He has that look in everything he has been doing the last few years IMO.

Ford is cankie all the time. If he hates acting so much why is he still doing it? its like Brad Pitt. He mentioned in a few interviews that his heart isnt into acting anymore and with WWZ u could tell....this movie is a pass for me anyways...

I know this is just blind fanboyism, but I'm looking forward to this movie whether Ford's performance was phoned in or not! I'll fill a seat in the theater no matter how bad the previews look for this one. I've been hoping for this movie to get made for so long, I just have to go!
