Eldest.

Eldest, does anyone know when it will come out? I LOVED ERAGON!

 

It's already out. I have it in Norwegian so the english version has to be out ages ago.

 

Your thinking the book, darkness probably meant the movie.

 

Eragon just came out on dvd yesterday. If they're making Eldest into a movie it will probably either be sometime during the summer or around the holiday season. Those seem to be the prime release dates for major movies.

 

Oh yea. Stupid me:o :p

 

I haven't heard anything about the making of Eldest. I'd wait for awhile.

 

Okay. Thank you heaps. All of you. **Sniffs**

 

I havint seen eragon yet I will have to see it

 

you have to see it it is brilliant!

 

Hmmm...sorry Darkness...but for me, I would have to disagree with you. I'm a fan of the book more...and just to put it bluntly... the movie sucked compared to the book. Many of the parts were wrong, the way some of the characters were portrayed or looked or BOTH was wrong. But for me, it was the ending that made me really dislike it.

Don't get me wrong though, the only part about it that I didn't like was the way the director and the writers re-wrote practically the entire book to make it into the movie. Other than that, the effects were great, acting was good, if I wasn't comparing it took the book, the story was good, and filming location was excellent.

Sorry to the fans of the movie, but that's just one persons small opinion...

As for the release date of Eldest... I don't think they've begun to work on an Eldest movie yet...but if they do soon...I'd expect it to be released around late 2008 at the earliest... more like 2009 though...

 

draik88. I sorta agree with you. The book was better. The movie wasn't as good, but it was pretty good.

 

i agree with draik88 on it's own not being compared to the book it was a decent movie but compared to the book it's a disgrace and completely sucks

 

I know this might be offtopic for the thread, but I'd just like to say that the book was near 500 pages long. Not EVERYTHING is going to make it in. By itself I thought the movie was rather well put together.

I'd rather read the book myself but you're welcome to think of the movie as a Cliff's Notes version of the book.

 

Here I go again...


Dude...the movie was BAISED on Eragon. Meaning, it wasn't going to follow the whole thing 100%. And I HIGHLY doublt someone would be able to fit a 500 paged book into a two hour movie. It wouldn't be so easy, now would it?

 

just because it's based on it doesn't mean they had to have left out and change as much as they did. and yes you could've easily fit all the significant events of eragon as they were in the movie , the movie wouldv'e been a lot longer .

 

But, if they DID fit all the crap in Eragon into the movie, every damn person who saw it would complain because it was "too much like LOTR." Psh!

 

*shakes head* I never bothered to go and see the movie. It looked like crap. And no offense to Eragon fans, but frankly the director didn't exactly have good material to work off of.
As for a movie version of Eldest, can you imagine that? There are definitely a few parts that would need to be taken out. Anyone remember the whole Eragon/Oromis scene?

 

Oh no, we wouldn't anymore parts taken out of the movie, now would we?!? It just might make the movie all the more worse. If we're lucky, it'll make some stupid critic's child cry again.

And as for celeborn81, I must agree, the director did a pretty damn bad job. But I also heard he also screwed up a couple of other movies, so I heard.

 

well i never saw the movie yet i want to but you got to understand that evry book-to-movie transition cant include all the stuff froum the book for the sake of time i guss but i heard froum some other peple that the movie is kinda good but not as good as the book (which i love and cant wait for the 3rd one)

 

Exactly. The book is always better than the movie. Yet, people still don't understand this. Good point.
