BYUtv greenlights sci-fi series "Extinct," hailing from "Ender's Game" author Orson Scott Card and writer Aaron Johnston.
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, distinguishing 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.

Based on the best-selling, award-winning novel by visionary author Orson Scott Card, ENDER’S GAME stars Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Ben Kingsley, Viola Davis, with Abigail Breslin and Harrison Ford.

OSC adds: "Besides the concepts of simulation training and remote warfare, Ender's Game has also been used by the military for its demonstration of good and bad techniques of command. Regardless of who (or what) the enemy is, the same principles of leadership apply."
