Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. disavowed “Ender’s Game” author Orson Scott Card’s opposition to gay marriage, saying his opinions are “irrelevant” to the movie based on his science-fiction novel.
Lions Gate, maker of the “Hunger Games” and “Twilight Saga” pictures, responded to calls for a boycott of the forthcoming movie with a statement yesterday citing a longtime policy of offering benefits to same-sex unions and the distribution of critically praised, gay-themed films including the Oscar-winning “Gods and Monsters.”
