Eragon trailer
September 15th 2006 06:54
'Children's' fantasy book 'Eragon' is about to undergo a boom of interest I think. It's been a very popular book since it's publication a couple of years ago, and was followed up by 'Eldest' not so long ago. The author of these books (which are to be a trilogy, the third book is yet to be completed) is Christopher Paolini, a young author and all-round smartarse who started writing his fantasy series when he was just 15 ('Eragon' was released when he was 18). Why do I think there is about to be a resurgence of interest? Because there's a movie being made silly!
The above is fan-made trailer that uses recently 'leaked' footage from the film. As yet there is no official trailer for 'Eragon', but if you look around on Youtube.com you'll find a whole bunch of fan-made teasers of varying quality.
The film features some middling talent... John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons, Robert Carlyle and Djimon Hounsou and I really don't know what to expect. I haven't read the books yet (I'm waiting for the third to come out so I can read them all together), but I do know that they're about dragons and that a lot of people love them. It would be pretty easy for this film to fuck up... anyone remember the 'Dungeons and Dragons' movie? That featured Jeremy Irons too, and it was fucking terrible.
Well, at least there is a reputably decent source of material for this film to follow. Here's hoping they follow it close enough to be a success!

Been waiting for the third book in the Eragon trilogy before reading them. they do show promise, the film Im not so sure about yet.
Im a big fan off Anne McCaffreys The Dragons Of Pern series, just so descriptive and rich in landscape and characters.
I really hope we finally get a good Dragon movie instead of crap like Dragonheart, Rain of Fire and D&
Why isn't Dragonslayer on DVD yet, I remember that being quite fun?

I watched the VHS of Dragonslayer so many times it broke.
