Hi all, Just thought this information might be of interest. I have just found on the web information that a movie version of Eragon, the novel by Christopher Paolini, is being filmed. According to the websites I found, Fox 2000 Pictures has begun production in Budapest, Hungary, on the epic fantasy adventure ERAGON. The Twentieth Century Fox release is planned for June 16, 2006. Following a worldwide casting search, which rivaled the hunt for a cinematic ''Harry Potter,'' newcomer Ed Speleers was given the title role of Eragon, a young man whose destiny is sealed when he learns he is part of an elite troop of Dragon Riders. Deals are reportedly being finalized for Jeremy Irons, John Malkovich and Djimon Hounsou to take on key roles. The movie will be directed by Stefen Fangmeier, who while working for Industrial Light & Magic, supervised films such as ''Saving Private Ryan,'' " The Perfect Storm'' and ''Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.'' I personally can't wait for this film to come out, and hope it lives up to it's promise! ERAGON is produced by John Davis (''I, Robot'') and Wyck Godfrey.
