Eragon: The Movie Eragon is a 2006 fantasy-adventure film based on the novel of the same name by author Christopher Paolini. The cast includes Edward Speleers in the title role, Jeremy Irons, Garrett Hedlund, Sienna Guillory, Robert Carlyle, John Malkovich, Djimon Hounsou, Alun Armstrong, Joss Stone, and the voice of Rachel Weisz as Saphira the dragon. The film was directed by Stefen Fangmeier, a first-time director, who had previously worked as a visual effects director on Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events and Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World. The screenplay was written by Peter Buchman, who is best known for Jurassic Park III. Principal photography took place at the Mafilm Fót Studios in Hungary, starting on August 1, 2005. Special visual effects and animation were by Weta Digital and Industrial Light & Magic. The Inheritance Cycle The Inheritance Cycle is a series of fantasy novels by Christopher Paolini. It was previously entitled the Inheritance Trilogy until Paolini's announcement on October 30, 2007 that there would be a fourth book. Set in the fictional world of Alagaësia (pronounced /æləˈɡeɪziə/), the novels focus on a teenage boy named Eragon and his dragon Saphira as he becomes one of the few remaining Dragon Riders, a legendary group who governed the land in times past but were almost destroyed by a Rider named Galbatorix and the Forsworn, a group of thirteen Riders who betrayed their fellow Riders by swearing fealty to Galbatorix. After the Fall, when most of the Riders were slain, Galbatorix claimed the throne of Alagaësia. The tyrant king's greatest fear is that a new Rider will rise up and usurp his position as king of the Empire. Through the efforts of the rebel group, the Varden, and their leader/founder, Brom (in collusion with Jeod and Hefring) a dragon egg is stolen from Galbatorix, and by a whim of fate, is thrust upon a young farmboy in Palancar Valley named Eragon. As Galbatorix attempts to capture Eragon and his dragon, Eragon begins a journey into the past and the future of Alagaësia. |

And agreed about the movie - it was really really bad. The worst movie I'd see that year :lol: |
I think the first 2 books are my favourite so far.
Yes, the movie was bad. :lol: |

When is the next one due btw? :look: Speaking of dragons, having one of your own would be all kinds of cool :nod: |
Haven't head anything about a release date. :look:
Your own dragon does sound good, how long would it take to fly to London with it? :lol: |
Really? No release date yet, wow, didn't expect that. Given how popular the series is and is has been some time since the last one was released.
Chrissy :lol: Thinking all practical again, guess you'd be there in no time :D Nice for weekend trips and such. |
I hope the next book will be released next year.
I so need my own dragon. :D |
I'll keep my fingers crossed for you :nod:
There are two more books to come right? |

I heard it was just one book! Well... the more the better! :D I also heard there's a chapter available somewhere on internet! There's also a possible cover... but I guess it's fake! http://www.skoob.com.br/img/livros_n...272065003P.jpg |
