Casting About: The ‘Hugo’ Kid Is About to Be the ‘Ender’s Game’ Kid

• If you're looking for the next "Harry Potter" or "Hunger Games," keep your eye on "Ender's Game," which is based on Orson Scott Card's award-winning sci-fi novel. Yesterday, Summit found their Andrew "Ender" Wiggin: It'll be 14-year-old Asa Butterfield, who's about to become a star (we assume) after "Hugo" hits theaters. These are pretty heady times for a guy who wasn't even born when the book came out. [Deadline]

• Elle Fanning has been cast as the lead in indie filmmaker Sally Potter's "Bomb," where she'll play "a teenage rebel who wants to save the world from nuclear annihilation, but as the cold war meets the sexual revolution, it's her family that threatens to explode." Alessandro Nivola, so amazing in "Junebug," will be in it, too. Apparently Potter isn't worried about naming her movie something that makes a reviewer's job easier. ("This sure is a 'Bomb'!") [Deadline]

• "Chuck" finally winds down early next year, and so Yvonne Strahovski is going to have to find something else to do. And find something she has! She'll be Aaron Eckhart's love interest in "I, Frankenstein," which is based on a graphic novel. (Fun Fact: She's Australian. And you don't even hear the accent on "Chuck"! That's some good acting!) [Deadline]

• David Oyelowo is on one heck of a streak. He was in "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" and "The Help," and he'll be in Tom Cruise's "One Shot" and the George Lucas-produced "Red Tails." The streak continues: Word's just come down that he's signed up for Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln." Also, we hears he's nice to animals, always opens the door for a lady, and can hit a curveball. Yeah, you basically suck in comparison to David Oyelowo. [Deadline]
