Summit Entertainment will be going all-out when they come to promote Ender's Game at this year's San Diego Comic-Con.  Now that Twilight is over (huzzah!) this could be Summit's biggest franchise with more of Orson Scott Card's novels available to continue the series.  But first, Ender's Game needs to be a hit, and Summit is going to make sure the movie gets some serious attention.  The studio's panel on Thursday, July 18th in Hall H will feature Ender's Game director Gavin Hood, producer Bob Orci, and cast members Asa Butterfield, Hailee Steinfeld, Abigail Breslin, and Harrison Ford.  From there, attendees can also check out the Exclusive Fan Experience outside the Hilton Gaslamp, and stop by Summit Entertainment's booth on the exhibitor's floor to check out footage, pick up promotional items, and win "fast passes" to the Fan Experience to avoid standing in line.  The catch is that they'll have to avoid being crushed to death on the exhibitor's floor.
