Speaking in London at a promotional event for the film, Harrison Ford, who plays Colonel Graff in the sci-fi epic, rejected any suggestion that Card's views are relevant to the content of Ender's Game. Ford said: "This movie doesn't address any of those issues. It was written 28 years ago; it's a very impressive act of imagination that he could predict the internet, and that he could predict drone warfare ... There is nothing in the film or the book addressing his current dispositions, or prejudices. We care about the positive aspects of the story we are telling."
