Controversial author who sparked protest with his anti-gay views won't earn less money if film is boycotted, claim insiders
• Activists call for Ender's Game boycott over author's anti-gay views
• Harrison Ford defends Ender's Game as 'impressive act of imagination'
In an effort to head off a potentially damaging boycott of the sci-fi epic Ender's Game, sources close to the film's producers have claimed controversial author Orson Scott Card, who wrote the original novel the film is based on, will not profit from the film's box-office take.
According to the Wrap, insiders have suggested that Card's deal with producers does not include "backend", ie, a percentage of the money taken at the box-office. Card, however, has still apparently banked a $1.5m fee, paid to him when the book was optioned in 1996.
The film's backers have been in panic mode ever since a boycott call was launched by an organisation called Geeks Out, protesting at Card's views on gay marriage, as well as his comparison of President Obama to Hitler.
All those connected to the film have been forced on the defensive, with actor Harrison Ford defending Ender's Game by claiming "There is nothing in the film or the book addressing [Card's] current dispositions, or prejudices", and director Gavin Hood saying: "It has been a real dilemma for me: I love the book ... and it's very difficult for me to reconcile that with his clearly contrary views to the ones I hold on the issue of gay rights."
The Wrap's sources are also at pains to point out that, despite his producer credit, Card has had no creative input into the production.

They're reportedly suing YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley for leaking a video of their private moment.

Sure, it was held at a 40,000-capacity baseball stadium in San Francisco, had a lengthy guest list including the likes of Jaden Smith and Lorraine Schwartz and was serenaded by a 50-piece orchestra, but Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are maintaining that their engagement last week was, despite all the glitz and glamour, a private event.
That's exactly why they're reportedly suing YouTube co-founder Chad Hurley, who, according to a lawsuit obtained by TMZ, "manipulated" his way into AT&T Park and, despite signing a confidentiality agreement, leaked a video of the moment Kanye bent down on one knee and put a $1.25 million ring on her finger.
The video, which looks like it was shot from the dugout, quickly went viral after Hurley posted it to his website MixBit. But from the sounds of the new lawsuit, Kim and Kanye wanted to save that moment for later.
In the document, the couple maintains that Hurley was not actually invited to the engagement, but that he proceeded to "turn the event into one starring himself, broadcasting images he knew were the exclusive property rights of someone else." They also included a photo of Hurley holding the confidentiality agreement.
In this case, that "someone else" may be is MC Cable Television, an arm of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians" Bunim/Murray and E!.
There's no way of knowing whether or not the moment will end up on "Keeping Up." While the show surely captures intimate moments, in the season finale this Sunday, Kim kept the cameras out of the delivery room when she gave birth to Baby North.

The New York rock band premiered the track at Artist To Watch Live.
By Brenna Ehrlich
When you're out tricking and treating, make sure to watch out for the zombie apocalypse because, according to the newly dropped "Let The Heads Roll" from New York band SKATERS, it is extremely nigh.
SKATERS — who plan to drop their first LP, Manhattan, on Warner Bros. on February 25 — premiered the song during MTV Hive's Artists To Watch Live event on October 21, and now it's live on the band's SoundCloud.
"It's about the zombie apocalypse," guitarist Josh Hubbard told MTV News. "Not to do with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs track," he added, referring to "Heads Will Roll," off 2009's It's Blitz! "It's more literal."
Bassist Dan Burke added that the band chose zombies as their subject because the dead can dance — and dance they do in "Let The Heads Roll."
The jam kicks off like a Halloween song from the '80s. There's whistling, creepy laughing — a thoroughly "Ghostbusters" vibe — before launching into a more melodic indie rock jam about a kid who warns a doubtful town that the undead are coming, to unfortunate consequences.
"Hidin' out behind your bed/ If you're smart you'll hold your breath/ You're no exception to the cold," croons lead singer Michael Ian Cummings. "Now child don't be scared/ By the creaking of the stairs/ It's just your mother/ So you hope/ No one listened when you said/ You were walking among the dead."
The song then builds to a macabre chorus, in which Cummings notes that it's "such a beautiful night to let their heads roll." Should have listened to the kid under the bed.
The song also, naturally, features a dance break in the middle — as demonstrated to MTV News by the SKATERS guys below — allowing listeners ample time to shake their bones.
SKATERS' first single off of their upcoming album, "Deadbolt," is out now.

Previously unpublished image of power couple is curtain-raiser for National Portrait Gallery's exhibition of her life and career
A previously unpublished image of one of the most glamorous couples of British theatre, Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier, captured at the height of their fame at a charity garden party in 1949, is to go on display at the National Portrait Gallery in London.
The photograph, by the British photo-journalist Larry Burrows, launches a series of events marking the centenary of Leigh's birth and later this month the NPG will open an exhibition tracing her life and career, which will include many other previously unseen images.
Terence Pepper, curator of photographs at the NPG, described Leigh as "one of the most extraordinary British talents and beauties in the film and theatre world of the second half of the 20th century".
In 1949 the couple, who had starred in a sell-out tour of Australia and New Zealand the previous year, were famous across the world. Their friends included the Queen Mother and Churchill, and they were renowned for glamorous house parties at their grand country home, Notley Abbey in Buckinghamshire.
Burrows caught up with them on 31 May, when they appeared at a charity fair at the Roehampton Club in London, in aid of the Actors' Orphanage Fund, of which Olivier was president. In the picture, Leigh is addressing the crowd through a giant megaphone while Olivier waves balls over his head, presumably inviting punters for the coconut shy.
In 1949 Burrows, aged just 23, had just begun working for Life magazine's London bureau. His later assignments included famous images of the war in Vietnam, but he died in 1971 with three other photographers when their helicopter was shot down over Laos. An award-winning book of his war photographs was published posthumously.
His sunny, jokey image of Leigh and Olivier, apparently without a care in the world, has been presented by his son Russell Burrows and daughter-in-law Barbara Baker Burrows, specially for the Leigh centenary. It will be on display from Friday with two other rare images of the couple, one by Paul Tanqueray in 1942, the other taken by Leigh herself on the set of The School for Scandal in 1949.
Leigh won two Oscars for her performances as Blanche du Bois in the film of Tennessee Williams' A Streetcar Named Desire in 1951, and as Scarlett O'Hara in the epic film of Gone With the Wind. Her performance as Nelson's mistress Emma in the 1941 That Hamilton Woman made it Winston Churchill's favourite film.
Her career and her 20-year marriage to Olivier were shadowed by her physical and mental fragility, and she died of tuberculosis in 1967 aged just 53.
Starring Vivien Leigh: A Centenary Celebration will be at the National Portrait Gallery, London, from 30 November 2013

Powerful stage and screen actor often cast as an aristocrat, king or moustachioed villain
When the whisky flowed, according to the writer John Heilpern, the actor Nigel Davenport looked "as if he might knock you through the wall for sport". However, words such as "imposing" and "heavyweight", both often applied to his performances on stage and screen across more than 40 years, do not do sufficient justice to his lightness of touch and comic energy.
Davenport, who has died aged 85, was a founder member of the English Stage Company (ESC) at the Royal Court – in the first season, he was in every production except Look Back in Anger – and a distinguished president of Equity, the actors' union; he played leads in Restoration comedy and absurdist drama as well as King Lear.
In a recent rerun of the BBC's Keeping Up Appearances, he loomed as a lubricious old navy commodore coming on to Patricia Routledge's Hyacinth Bouquet in the back of a cab driven by a vicar. With his huge bulk, fruity, growling voice and gleaming left eye, he was as hilarious as he was genuinely alarming.
The "odd" eye was the result of an operation to correct a childhood squint gone wrong, but this only added to his raffish singularity, which made him ideal casting for hirsute, frequently moustachioed, villains as well as the large roster of high-ranking soldiers, aristocrats and monarchs – he was a superb King George III in the BBC television series The Prince Regent (1979) – he embodied with an easy charm and natural entitlement.
He grew up in the village of Great Shelford, near Cambridge, the son of Arthur Davenport and his wife, Katherine. His father was the bursar at Sidney Sussex College and was awarded the Military Cross in the first world war. Davenport was educated at St Peter's school in Seaford, East Sussex, and at Cheltenham college before studying philosophy, politics and economics (changing to English) at Trinity College, Oxford. At university, he was a contemporary of Tony Richardson and William Gaskill, both later colleagues at the Royal Court, and appeared as Bottom and the Cardinal in The Duchess of Malfi with the Oxford University Dramatic Society. He had done his national service in Germany, where he worked as a disc jockey with the British Forces Network.
Davenport made his London debut in 1952 at the Savoy theatre in Noël Coward's Relative Values, playing the Hon Peter Ingleton, a role he had at first understudied. After a season at the Shakespeare Memorial theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1953, he estimated that he played no fewer than 75 roles at the Chesterfield Civic theatre company in two years; that constituted his formal training as an actor.
That experience, and his personal friendship with Richardson, catapulted him into the Royal Court opening season in 1956, when he appeared in Angus Wilson's The Mulberry Bush, Arthur Miller's The Crucible (as Thomas Putnam), two plays by Ronald Duncan, Nigel Dennis's Cards of Identity and Brecht's The Good Woman of Setzuan (with Peggy Ashcroft), and played Quack in William Wycherley's The Country Wife.
In the next two years he was in the Sunday night "without decor" tryouts for two important ESC productions, NF Simpson's A Resounding Tinkle (directed by Gaskill) and Arnold Wesker's The Kitchen (directed by John Dexter), as well as appearing in John Osborne's Epitaph for George Dillon (again directed by Gaskill, with Robert Stephens in the lead) and John Arden's Live Like Pigs.
Having played Horner in The Country Wife at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East, in 1955, he returned there to appear in Joan Littlewood's production of Shelagh Delaney's A Taste of Honey (1958), making his Broadway debut with that play in 1960. From this hectic few years at the heart of the new wave of English drama, he turned to television and film; he had made his first TV appearance in 1952 and was soon in demand on screen as a character actor of real distinction.
His major films covered 20 years, including Alexander Mackendrick's A High Wind in Jamaica (1965); Fred Zinnemann's A Man for All Seasons (1966), with Paul Scofield, in which Davenport played a powerful Duke of Norfolk; and two directed by Hugh Hudson, Chariots of Fire (1981), in which he played Lord Birkenhead, and Greystoke (1984), as Major Jack Downing.
Of his later theatre appearances I treasure most his faultless Vershinin, the dashing army captain, in Jonathan Miller's 1976 revival of Chekhov's Three Sisters (with Janet Suzman as Masha). He toured in King Lear in 1986 and in Alan Bennett's The Old Country in 1989, bowing out to live quietly in the Cotswolds after playing a boorish old sugar daddy to perfection in Somerset Maugham's Our Betters at the Chichester Festival theatre in 1997.
Davenport was an active member of Equity, forming a rightwing (though he himself was of middle-ground disposition) and ultimately successful "Act for Equity" faction in opposition to Corin and Vanessa Redgrave's Workers Revolutionary party cell within the union in the 1970s. He served as a healing president from 1986 to 1992.
He was twice married and divorced, first to Helena White (from 1951 to 1960), with whom he had two children, the writer Hugo Davenport and the actor Laura Davenport; and second to the actor and director Maria Aitken (from 1972 to 1981), with whom he had a son, the actor Jack Davenport. He is survived by his children and five grandchildren. His brother, Peter, predeceased him.
