I don't show many trailers, but I've been waiting for this one for quite a while. I'm attempting to keep expectations reasonable, but I don't think that's reasonably possible.
I'm definitely looking forward to seeing more of Asa in action and you're right about casting. I think they nailed Colonel Graf with Harrison Ford although reading it I never would have guessed. Mazer Rackham too.
Yep, just the right balance with the actors, Kingsley and Ford with plenty of younger names feels just right, CGI Looking good too, I wonder how their going to integrate the storyline from earth with ender's siblings?.
I'd have wished that they would have stayed closer to the book in terms of age as I think that is what gives it a lot of it's punch, but this should still be a really awesome watch. Those special effects look amazing!!
@Matthew - You know, that was my first thought after watching the trailer. We get a quick glimpse of Valentine (I think) and now I'm really curious about her and Peter.
@Scarlett - I think you're right, but that may have been impossible without going completely CGI on a kid for Ender. He's gotta be really smart and I'm sure that was one of the first things they realized was not going to happen with a kid that age who could also act.

Just finished the novel and loved it, cannot wait for the release, they seem to have the casting right as well, fingers crossed.
