I would have preferred an adaptation of just Ender's Game, but the combination of "Game" and "Shadow" isn't as awkward as most combinations, for the reasons already stated.
The choice of those screenwriters, worries me. They wrote a fun X2, but it wasn't exactly the deep psychological mind-fuck that Ender's journey is. One is external and bombastic and the other is internal and subtle. The only common ground is that they are both set on an epic scale. Nothing in their resume really sells them to me as the ideal choice. But then if you told me that David Goyer had a Dark City in him after watching the Blade movies or that Crow sequel, I wouldn't have believed it either.
If Card has final script approval than I'm cautiously optimistic.
