"Today’s shot is taken straight from the film and shows the mess hall from the battle school that a large chunk of the movie will take place in. It’s got two quite easily identifiable main characters up front, a few in back, and a lovely handful of non-human items throughout to tease us all wildly."
Army logos (from last week) for those that haven't seen them yet:
"Back to the first image. The first thing you’ll notice is Ender (played by Asa Butterfield) on the right speaking with Petra Arkanian (played by Hailee Steinfeld) on the left.
These two characters are central to the storyline, with Ender appearing from start to finish and Petra playing a big part in Ender’s journey through the battle school. Behind them in the mess hall you’ll notice a big digital screen with a couple of army logos on it (Rat and Asp).
This board appears throughout the story in relation to the Battle Room games the students play in the battle school. There’s a ranking for each student both inside their army and in relation to the rest of the school, and each battle is shown with army vs army scores on the big board immediately following a match."
"The scoreboard also shows that one of two things is possible. Either there aren’t nearly as many people in a battle in the book as there are in the book, or they’re simply showing 8 team members at a time instead of all at once. It may make more sense to have fewer students battling at once rather than the 40+ on each team the book speaks of simply because so many characters are easily lost on the big screen."
"You can also see statistics of the battles taking place on either side, with variables being shown regarding full body freezes, partial outs, and all that good stuff – not up close and clear yet, but there’s really nothing else all that junk on the right and left could be.
To the immediate left or right of the army logos up on the screen you’ll also see some health bars (or point bars) being shown for a battle currently in-progress. It may be that the center circle is showing the battle virtually as its taking place as well – the red and blue lines represent the army’s gates."
Some of the other characters you’ll see in this still are:
• Commander Pol Slattery of Leopard Army (played by Cameron Gaskins) in the far upper-right.
• Dink Meeker of Salamander Army (played by Khylin Rhambo) by Ender’s right arm.
• Bonzo Madrid of Salamander Army (played by Moises Arias) two spaces to the left of Petra.
"The person in the yellow suit on the left is likely in the employ of the battle school. You’ll see a similar suit in the first photo shown to the public (seen below) with Harrison Ford as Colonel Graff. It could also be that the yellow suit is a Flash Suit, or the first layer of one.
A Flash Suit is a special outfit a student wears when they enter the Battle Room, there freezing any part of their body that’s hit by one of the flash guns used in the game."
