Orson Scott Card on movies and video games
Orson Scott Card, the writer of Ender’s Game, discusses why movie translations of video games “hasn’t worked so far — and never will work, until somebody gets a clue.”
Yours, Mine, and Aeon Flux; Videogames - Uncle Orson Reviews Everything: “Movies are, if anything, the opposite of videogames. You spend your time on radically different aspects of the story. The game is all action, with as few scenes as possible; movies are all scenes, with action only there for the climactic moments, when the audience cares desperately about the outcome.”
