He wowed us in Martin Scorsese’s “Hugo,” and now, Asa Butterfield wants to prove he can also star in a thought-provoking sci-fi blockbuster. In “Ender’s Game,” Asa is the one! The one to save us from the formic aka buggers, the giant insect-like aliens terrorizing our planet. In order for us to buy into the film’s premise that a 12-year-old kid can save the world, Asa must be equally believable. And trust me, he was! In this interview, we talked about:

*** What attracted him to making the film?
*** How did he prepare for the role both physically and mentally?
*** How he was able to convey the character’s inner dialogue
*** Shooting the zero-gravity scenes
*** Working with Sir Ben Kingsley again
*** Was Harrison Ford also a mentor to him in real life much like in the movie?
*** The meaning of his name
*** What does he want viewers to take away after watching “Ender’s Game?”
