Directed by Jake Goldberger from a script written by Goldberger, David Scott and Dan Wetzel, ‘Life of a King’ is the unlikely true story of Eugene Brown and his one-man mission to give inner-city kids of Washington D.C. something he never had – a future. He discovered a multitude of life lessons through the game of chess during his 18-year incarceration for bank robbery. After his release and reentry into the workforce, Eugene developed and founded the Big Chair Chess Club to get kids off the streets and working towards lives they never believed they were capable of due to circumstances. From his daring introductory chess lessons to group of unruly high school students in detention to the development of the Club and the teens’ first local chess competitions, this movie reveals his difficult, inspirational journey and how he changed the lives of a group of teens with no endgame.

Summit Entertainment releases director Gavin Hood‘s adaptation of Ender’s Game, which is based on the novel of the same name by Orson Scott Card.

The film stars Asa Butterfield, Harrison Ford, Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, and Abigail Breslin.

The film tells the story of Andrew “Ender” Wiggin (Asa Butterfield), a young boy sent away to Battle School to hone his military skills in order to save the world from an impending alien invasion. As someone who hasn’t read the book, I was pretty underwhelmed by the previous trailers. However, this final look at the film does a nice job of selling the massive scope of Ender’s Game, and it finally gets across the stakes that Ender faces. The visual effects are mighty impressive and the ensemble cast is more than proven, so here’s hoping Hood delivers a worthwhile adaptation.
