Card has called ''Ender's Game'' "[[unfilmable]]", "because everything takes place in Ender's head", and refused to sign a film deal unless he could ensure that the film was "true to the story". Of the film that he eventually agreed to, Card said it was "the best that good people could do with a story they really cared about and believed in", and while warning fans not to expect a completely faithful adaptation, called the film "damn good".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.neontommy.com/news/2013/04/orson-scott-card-enders-game-book-and-movie |title=Orson Scott Card Talks About 'Ender's Game' Book And Movie |work=Neon Tommy |date=2013-04-20 |access-date=2013-05-17 |archive-date=2013-05-10 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130510110454/http://www.neontommy.com/news/2013/04/orson-scott-card-enders-game-book-and-movie |url-status=live }}</ref>
