Subject: Eragon, the movie
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.
