The Eragon trailer is (finally) here!

Postby **SnowLeopard** » Sat Sep 16, 2006 2:22 pm

I just watched it and boy does it look cool! I'm really looking forward to this movie just for the dragon effects. I still am not sure about how true it will be to the book, but I think I'll go to see it just for Saphira alone.

The trailer can be viewed here

A shot of Eragon riding Saphira can be viewed here

Can't wait hope they don't screw it up watch this please XP

Yay!!! Saphira looks like Christopher Paolini described her (not like the front of the book)... I talked to him on the phone (long story...), and he gave a pretty good description of Saphira. That's pretty cool! (He said she doesn't look much like the dragon on the cover, because "her chin isn't that big" XD)

Anyway, I'll probably see it. Though I hope they don't mess up Murtagh (my favorite character).

yup Murtagh is al;so my favorite chara along with Roran

Well, the official site didn't seem to have a link to the trailer O_o but I found it on youtube... Looks decent... I never read the books...

Postby **Mega.EXE** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 6:11 pm

yeah it didn't work for me either but I also found it on youtube

Postby **SnowLeopard** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 6:35 pm

Ok, that parody trailer is FUNNY!

Postby **Heart of Sword** » Sun Sep 17, 2006 7:01 pm

The teddy bear...!!!! And then Eragon spinning around with a little stuffed dragon...

*dies*

Hey, did you know there's a Prince Eragon in that Nickelodeon show, Danny Phantom? XD He turns into a dragon...

do you know CP personally HoS?

*watches the prev*

Sadly this will probably be more a "Dungeons and Dragons" movie, then a "Lord of the Rings" quality movie. It can easily exceed the book if done right though.
Probably get an M rating here and a PG-13 in the US.

I thought it looked like D&D too... I've never read the books and this didn't make me really want to either. But man, if I hadn't known what it was advertising ahead of time, I would have sworn it was gonna be D&D II... and Jeremy Irons is in it too just to top it off...

Actually, the trailer doesn't look THAT bad... but have any of you seen the poster? One of the worst posters I've seen all year... It looked like that Uwe Boll Dungeon Seige Poster... blah...

Anyway, I'll see this on video just cause its a fantasy...

Not that exceeding the book is terribly difficult. XD

Very true Kaemmerite!

I've talked to him on the phone, but we're not friends or anything. (Truthfully he kinda gets on my nerves...... he has an ego.)

Anyway...I doubt it will get an M rating. The book wasn't as violent as Harry Potter, which got a PG rating here. (I don't like Harry Potter and I don't read it, for the record.)

Hahaaaa, Kaemmerite... XD

Postby **Warrior 4 Jesus** » Mon Sep 18, 2006 5:45 pm

The book was much more violent than Harry Potter! I didn't read dead babies impaled on spears in the Potter books.
And yes, I've noticed on all his interviews he has a massive ego.

True.

The movie looks good. I hope it stays true to the book.

I also hope Warrior's prediction will not come true and that it will have a LOTR quality to it.

Postby **Warrior 4 Jesus** » Fri Sep 22, 2006 7:34 pm

If you think it will have LotR quality your dreaming. LotR movies had great source material to begin with. I don't think I'll say anymore. *bursts out laughing*

She doesnt look at all like he described her...

Im deeply disappointed...

if you remember he described her as having two long teeth near the front of her mouth.. I think it MAY have mentioned two smaller ones underneath it.. but neither of those aspects ar here... GAHHH

I didn't say I think it will, Warrior, I said I hope it will, though I do doubt it.

Ahahahahaaaa!

I find it somewhat sad that people are hoping for it to be like LOTR. If it's good, it can stand on its own two feet.

Now allow me to rant because Dragonlance is going to be an animated movie while THIS BOOK becomes live-action FIRST. ARGH.

Hey, if it's a well-drawn and well-acted animated movie, then that's okay by me. There haven't been enough good animated films lately...unless Dragonlance is going to be CG. Then it can burn, for all I care.

Grah, agreed. CG is highly overused.

Anyways, I haven't read the books (I heard they weren't all that great, and I don't have time to read a some-thousand page book that's not great), but I may or may not end up seeing the movie. Pretty much leaning towards "may not," but anyways. XD

(Eh, I wasn't impressed. It looked very low-budget. Though that may just be that I'm a very critical graphic artist... Yeah, that's probably it.)

(I do like how Durza turned out, though. I was kinda skeptical about him, because I imagined him more... bishie evilish, but he turned out just right. Brom rocks, too.)

Postby **Mega.EXE** » Sun Sep 24, 2006 10:59 am

funny I pictured Durza more like ShadeMan from RockMan.EXE

It's going to be 2D, with some integrated 3D elements. (I'd assume like Treasure Planet or something.) lOther than that, we're all being kept in the dark.

Yes! Hacking an Eragon thread in order to spread the word about Dragonlance! Alright!

I'll check the Trailer later, but I might see it. Dunno yet. Personally (involving dargon-themed stories), I think I might rather see a movie of the Pern series or such. >_>

The book was much more violent than Harry Potter! I didn't read dead babies impaled on spears in the Potter books.

Ever read Animorphs or Remnants by K. A. Applegate? o_o

Postby **Warrior 4 Jesus** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 6:11 pm

Yes, I've read the 1st 10 or so Animorph novels (were huge when I was in primary school).

I imagined him as looking like an adult version of Gaara. And Arya I imagined somewhat like Rukia.
