Hailee’s co-stars, Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford, appeared a couple of days ago in an announcement video which also previewed a handful of scenes from the trailer. You can view the announcement and teaser clips in the video below (Hailee does not appear in the video nor do any Petra scenes appear).

The first trailer for “Ender’s Game”, starring Hailee Steinfeld as Petra Arkanian, will be released on May 7, 2012.

Hailee and her “Ender’s Game” co-star, Asa Butterfield, were both present at two CinemaCon events to promote their film. Hollywood heavyweight, Harrison Ford, was also in attendance. Hailee and Asa were on hand to introduce the trailer for “Ender’s Game” to the audience; the trailer will be shown in cinemas internationally in front of the new “Star Trek” film, “Star Trek: Into Darkness”.

Hailee and Asa were also in attendance at the final night celebrations, the Awards Ceremony, where Hailee accepted the award for Female Star of Tomorrow! Congrats, Hailee!

The first still from “Ender’s Game” featuring Hailee as Petra Arkanian has been released, via EnderWiggin.net. The photo also features Asa Butterfield (Ender Wiggin), Khylin Rhambo (Dink) and Moises Arias (Bonzo). A still breakdown can be seen below courtesy of Entertainment Weekly.

In the still (see a high-res version here), Petra and Ender share a meal in the dining facility alongside their fellow Salamander Army (see those patches on their jumpsuits?) soldiers. That means this is still early on in Ender’s journey, as Salamander is the first army he is recruited to after his time as a Launchie. At the far left end of the table, you can see Bonzo Madrid (Moises Arias), the cruel commander of Salamander Army, who, in the novel, resents having the under-trained Ender fighting alongside him. Fortunately for Ender, Petra proves to be a true and loyal friend — not to mention an expert fighter.

The background of the photo also contains a few gems for super-fans. The scoreboard, which displays daily rankings of all Battle School recruits, looks to be broadcasting a battle between Rat Army and Asp Army, in what appears to be a spherical or circular Battle Room. Director Gavin Hood played coy about the look of the Battle Room when EW spoke with him in December. “I really hope that what we’ve done with [it] will be exciting to people,” he said

The official synopsis for Hailee’s space-age adventure thriller “Ender’s Game” has been released and a release date has been confirmed. “Ender’s Game” will hit international film screens on November 1, 2013. Hailee stars alongside Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Abigail Breslin and Viola Davis.

In the near future, a hostile alien race (called the Formics) have attacked Earth. If not for the legendary heroics of International Fleet Commander, Mazer Rackham (Ben Kingsley), all would have been lost. In preparation for the next attack, the highly esteemed Colonel Graff (Harrison Ford) and the International Military are training only the best young children to find the future Mazer. Ender Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a shy, but strategically brilliant boy is pulled out of his school to join the elite.

Arriving at Battle School, Ender quickly and easily masters increasingly difficult war games, distiguising himself and winning respect amongst his peers. Ender is soon ordained by Graff as the military’s next great hope, resulting in his promotion to Command School. Once there, he’s trained by Mazer Rackham, himself, to lead his fellow soldiers into an epic battle that will determine the future of Earth and save the human race.

Back in December, we reported that Hailee was in talks to star in the movie adaptation of “Ender’s Game” alongside Asa Butterfield. Hailee has set the matter straight, Tweeting “New Orleans bound. #EndersGame” – all the confirmation you need, really! “Ender’s Game” will begin filming soon and is currently set for a March 2013 release.

A while back, it was reported that Hailee was in negotiations to play Rosaline in a spin-off of “Romeo and Juliet”. Negotiations seem to have fallen through and Lily Collins is now in negotiations to star in the role.
