Move over, Bo Obama . There’s a new cutie in town. The White House announced today via Twitter that a black Portuguese water dog has joined the company of the Commander-in-Chief, telling its 35 million followers in a simple message: “Welcome to the family, Sunny.” No information about Sunny’s age, origins or political leanings have been released, but his breed was likely selected due to Malia Obama’s allergies. We’ll run as detailed a background check on this canine as we can over the next few days. For now, though, even Orson Scott Card would have to agree: Sunny is quite the adorable addition.

I’m not saying all dystopian kid-warrior movies set in the future are going to be shamelessly crib from their successful predecessors (especially those adapted from exceptionally popular, award-winning, decades-old tomes), but something feels and looks really familiar in the first official photo from 2013’s Ender’s Game , based on Orson Scott Card’s Hugo Award-winning sci-fi novel. In the first look, which debuted over at EW along with a preview chat with director Gavin Hood ( Tsotsi , Wolverine ), Asa Butterfield stars as Ender, a young Battle School recruit being trained to fight an interstellar war, gets a stern glare from Harrison Ford ‘s Colonel Graff. In the cash-littered wake of The Hunger Games , the first few looks at Ender’s Game hit the futuristic teen sci-fi signposts: A muted blue palette, austere high-tech aesthetic, retro-fascism (meets, hmm — American Apparel ?) garb, kids playing games… TO THE DEATH. But hey, whatever works. Ender’s Game hits theaters November 1, 2013. [via EW ] Follow Jen Yamato on Twitter . Follow Movieline on Twitter .
