As the above title and description states, it looks like the producers of Lord of the Rings trilogy are now turning another wonderful trilogy into film format. For those of you who never read it, it's a very interesting trilogy that puts Christianity into a whole new perspective. The titles of the series are The Golden Compass, The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass. Me? I'm eagerly anticipating the release! Now if they would only do one for Ender's Game and Ender's Shadow...

I read about it a while ago in GI. I think it'll be interesting: I loved those books. I also love the fact that the christian population is going to hate these movies. The books weren't very popular, or at least, not on a level where the high-and-mighty took note(as far as I know... I read them years after they were written, so...), so I'm just hoping the movies draw a bit more attention to it.
I'm going to love being able to watch Lyra in action: I really love how she can talk her way out of just about anything.
And Ender's Game movie/game? Too-awesome-for-words. If it's done well. And yes, it probably would be better as a game: a movie wouldn't be able to show Ender's slow progression of skill and knowledge, not to mention the actions of The Game...
Also, the battle school games could have some very interesting control schemes... especially if they give you the same sorts of off-the-wall strategic tools that Ender had.
