Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Great sci-fi books are a common source for blockbuster films, but not all adaptations go as planned.

10 Ender's Game With a stellar cast that included Asa Butterfield and Harrison Ford as well as solid visual effects for 2013, it's disappointing that Ender's Game flopped.

Unfortunately, everything went wrong with John Carter.
