Eragon movie trailer

[DragonBlaze]

For those of you who don't know, a movie is being made out of the book eragon, which is basically like Lord of the Rings, just with dragons

I found out about this movie around 3 years ago, ever since then, I've been waiting for a trailer or something from it. There was supposed to  a trailer attached to X-men 3, but it got pushed back to Superman Returns, which got pushed back to Snakes on a Plane, etc. Anywayz, they finally got a trailer out today (or rather last night).

I have to say.. This movie looks awesome. Though, my opinion may be a little bias since I'm basically a dragon freak, but the book started off with one of them cliches I HATE, so the two kinda offset eachother.

Anyway, you can watch the trailer here: http://movies.aol.com/movie-trailer-clip/eragon-ed-speleers-jeremy-irons-large

FINALLY!!! I LOVE THAT BOOK!!! IT WAS THE BEST BOOK I'VE EVER READ!!!

No, really I read the whole first book in seven hours.

I'VE BEEN WAITING 3 YEARS FOR THIS MOVIE!!!

 I LOVE YOU DB!!!


I just hope they don't screw this over like they did the Harry Potter movies. Generally they make bad movies out of books. I will be very, very, ummm yeah..., if this movie dissapoints me.

Not that the Harry Potter movies were, well, bad, they just didn't follow the plot of the book, and they missed parts. I found myself saying,"Oh, wow, this part in the book was really good! I wanna see it...wait...what the heck! They skipped it!", and stuff like that.

Best book ever: Dune by Frank Herbert. Literature pwnage to the maxx.

I've never been a big fantasy guy, so I've never read these.

Well, I watched the whole trailer.

First of all, Eragon looks creepily like me.

Second, the mark on his pal was supposed to look like a large blister, not a scar. I'd tell you why, but it'd wreck the movie for all those who didn't read the book.

READ THE BOOK NOW.

The Razzac, the big mummy-zombie guy shouldn't look like a zombie. He wears a cloak, not rags. He's also supposed to have a beak as a mouth.

READ THE BOOK NOW.

I noticed a lot of other minor mistakes. Sorry, but I'm an Eragon freak. I could draw the whole map by memory.

I'm like that with Dune XD I can map out the poles along with the shield wall, the stations, and anything else XD

Lol, I used to want to memorize the walkthrough to TLoZ, Ocarina of Time, but then I realised that that was going too far...

I'm not a big reader at all, so when I heard about the book, I never bothered reading it. I thought it would be some crappy book with some lame steriotypic dragon rider. I forgot who, but someone on charas was making an eragon fan game, after reading about that, I got interested in the book. It just so happened that my girfriend had eragon, and let me borrow it. I kept it for 4 months I think... Anyway, the book starts out with the hero's home being burned down and Eragon (some farmboy who becomes the main character), goes after the people who did it. So that was a big cliche, and since I really hate cliches, it kind of turned me off. I kept reading because I really loved the characters, I thought Brom was the bomb, and I really like the actor who plays him, so I'm happy about that.

But yeah, after I got halfway through the book, I couldn't really stop reading it. A few weeks ago, I finally bought the sequal (Eldest). I was hesitant to buy it because it only came in hard cover, and cost around $25, which is WAY too much for me to pay for a book. I found it at Wal-Mart for $15, so I picked it up, and I'm about half way through that. Then recently, I bought Eragon, so I have that book as well now.

I'll have to check out Dune sometime, but considering the amount of reading I do, it'll probably be a while.

Yeah, a lot of things are messed up in the movie. The Urgals for example are just people... I think at first they were just going to make Eragon as a budget movie, but later realized it had potential and started working harder on it (which is why the trailer has been delayed so much.) The differances I've seen thus far don't really bother me too much though.

I really like how Saphira (the dragon) looks. It seems like they put a lot of work into her, and she just looks awesome now.

If you get into Dune, just be warned there's... 8-9 books. But its sci-fi.

With dragons?! Wooh! Dragons are so underrated now-a-days.

I shat my pants.

Your only half way thrugh the book     I read the whole think in like 4 days.

Anyway, i'm going crazy over the book since i like it and the sequal.

[DragonBlaze]

Actually.. I'm not quite half way done with the book. The book kinda annoys me how it swtiches back and forth between Eragon and Roran.  Like, I get really interested with whats happening with Eragon, then all of the sudden it switches back over to Roran, I soon become very interested in his story, but then it switches back over to Eragon...

I think its brilliant how the author did that to keep the reader reading, its just annoying sometimes.

And to think that Christopher Paolini was only 15 when he started writing Eragon. Then again, I had someone in my math two years ago and they had just published a book at the age of 16 I think. And here I am at 18 and haven't even started to write a book yet.

[I Have a Sandwich]

I've never cared much about the 15 year old authors. I know some people who are getting published. All it requires is you write something they think will sell. I've read some real garbage that everyone loves written by 15. But hey, it sold. Now these people that get comics and stuff published at 15, thats amazing.

[DragonBlaze]

Meh, if a book is good, I don't mind how old the auther was when they wrote it, its still good. I never knew the age of the auther (nor anything about him) until after I read the book.

Though he was 15 when he started writing the book, he had alrady graduated from high school, the book wasn't published until he was 19, so I'm guessing he did a lot of revisions and such when he was 18. Even though he was 15 when he started writing it, I don't think it shows at all in the book, except maybe the big cliche part...
