Okay, I wish they would make an Eldest movie but they might not because of the price.I mean if you really think about it they would have to CG (computer graphics) Saphira, Glaedr, and Thorn. I think the price would be huge. What do you think?

i think if they actually made the movies acuratly, money would be no object. so many people would love them that they'd make a fortune.

true. I didn't think about it like that.

i don't think they thought about eragon like that either, and it was messed up and everyone hated it

I liked it. I just didn't like it near as much of the book.

i hope that they do make eldest into a movie. even though they did mess up on eragon, it would be neat to see thier interprtation of the book on the movie screen. i would go and see it if they did make one. i do agree that the book was way better than the movie, but what movie ever really tops the book??? even some of the harry potter books were much better than the movies they made.

on a side note ~ has anyone heard of what the title of the 3rd book is yet??

What are you talking about this is about an Eldest movie. Not Book 3.

Max Shadeslayer ~ was your post to me??

No, to Keever McD

Max Shadeslayer ~ ok thanks for letting me know.

yeah he was talking about a name of a book

oh ok

yes but this topic is about an eldest movie. not the name of book three so who ever wants to talk about a name go to a different topic

look ***** I dont care. I was just saying so you **** off

Ok, like break it up!

You max, should just DROP it and not AGGRAVATE it by calling her foul words like that. She already apologized at the end of the post so just stop being so immature!

I have a really strong urge to use foul language but I'll hold my tongue (or fingers for that matter.)
Now, Apologize.

Long time ago I find out that asking for apologize is much easier when you hold the bad guy by his neck. Don't expect words to work for themself because they are not too strong reason

Besides they both were childish //running away to ask mom if i can join them

Keeve was on topic enough: she was answering a question, which is fine. i've seen topics get far more off topic than that was, which is barely.

and yes, you should respect those who've been here longer. we're your elders. lol

to everyone in this topic ~

i had no idea that placing that side note would cause such an uproar. i apologize for causing this. it was not my intention.

your hardly are elders!

or at least you dont act like them...

well you didnt drop it because you were just yelling at us because we wouldnt drop it... a better way to change the subject would have been to just pick up a topic and start posting about that people would have caught on...

If you guys alll dislike the movie so much how do you know so much about it?

I didn't swear

i dont think there will be a movie, but i wont say why. but if they do, it will be totally boring or off-base, because what are they going to do with it? the whole book was basically Eragon training, and what good of a movie is that? Maybe they would concentrate more on Roran, but people go to see Eragon, not Roran. They would have to rename the movie "Roran" or something.

Sorry about the swearing. I just looked back at the posts and saw that. I found out that my annoying little brother got on here while I was in the restroom and put that. Again, I AM SO SORRY.

it's okay, i guess. just make sure it doesn't happen again.



anyway, we should get back on topic. what is everybody else's opinion or opinion on my opinion?

i think that if they did do a movie on eldest it wouldnt be boring in the slightest. yes most of the book is on eragon training but there are so many side stories in there too. theres the elf village, the one elf who antagonized eragon during the sword training. the queen , theres more to her than there seems. and theres roran of course. and im sure that theres more i just cant think of any of it right now. its been a while since i read the books. the only part that i can think of that they wouldnt touch on is when eragon is healed by the dragon during the elf ceremony. which would be sad because it was such a big part of the book. but what can you do. they did eragon as they saw fit. it was still a good movie. but anyway, i really would like to see them do a movie on eldest. i think it would be great the see the interpretation from book to movie.

like i said, i dont think they will do a movie on that because that would be just plain boring. i mean, who wants to watch a movie about Eragon learning how to use magic? its just kinda pointless.

I agree with animal auntie. the side stories would make it interesting, but the problem is that they would have to, pretty much rewrite the story. They'd have to bring Arya back, introduce Katrina and Solembum, introduce the twins, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

exactly. so if they did, it wouldnt be worth seeing anyway. like i said, it would be renamed or something, too, because they messed up Eragon movie so much, that they couldnt even attempt to make an Eldest movie and call it the sequel to Eragon, they would have to rename and say its something completely different, loosely tied to Eragon, or something. that, or they wouldnt make it period, like ive said before.

if they messed up eragon so bad and called it eragon, then they can mess up eldest and still call it eldest.

yes, but that was because that was the first one. to make eldest eldest, they would have to change so much it would be near impossible. they would really have to remake eragon basically, because they left out so much stuff that was needed for eragon like katrina and the twins, etc. so basically, they wouldnt even try, they would make something like eldest, but leave a lot of stuff out, and make it a new movie.

They wouldn't be able to make a COMPLETELY different movie and still use the same characters. It'd be plagerizm.

exactly why they can't make one.

theres a lot more to the book than him just learning magic... i think Eldest would make a great movie if done correctly

you must have a lot of faith if you think those people can do anything correctly.

There are ways to fix every thing in the very begging.... im pretty sure they will find what is needed most crucially in the movie and do just that. I have some faith they can do it cause i have acknowledged that it was a brand new director and i will cut him a little slack... i also say this because from what i have been hearing, fox and CP are going to allow an eldest movie, Rumored to hit theaters in late 2011

i doubt theyll be able to fix what they messed up in eragon AND start a good movie that isnt boring training stuff. itll be too long. most script writers are only allowed i think like 20 pages to do stuff with. 600 pages down to 20. thats a lot of cutting and editing and...

it might be a good movie as a movie, but i still dont think theyll get that far just because of whats involved.


and if they did, it would be more off base than eragon the movie, and probably either very boring or entirely concentrated on Roran.

Ok for some examples here to show you how easy it could be..... before Murtagh and all leave for the Dwarven caverns, lets say for any reason at all Ayra turns around and comes back to the varden.... she coldnt have gotten that far.... twins and elva stuff could happen at anytime this is happening... ..............then we get an extra side scene of Roran introducing Katrina and all... now the movie can start where the book did.... there all fixed................

Just cuase my example of Ayra returning wasnt to good lets say..... Ayra hears news of Ajahad (spelling?) dying and decides to turn around.... thats a good example.......

and if they did it about roran, it might be interesting, but they would still have to change a lot, because the Ra'zac are dead!!!!!

yea 2 razac died.... theres more.... i think there were like 7 if i remember from eldest?

no. there were only the 2 Ra'zac and their parents, the Lethrblaka.

Well in the movie there are 4 and there parents.... little minor change which dont change the storyline from eldest on since 2 died in eragon

i dont think so. i thought there were only two remaining ra'zac. hmmm, i may be wrong. but anyway, the ra'zac look like mummies in the movie. theyre supposed to be men that are really skinny that have beaks and hooded cloaks. so that doesnt really work either. how are mummies going to attack carvahall?

i agree with max, elf king and everyone else.they could make the movie and have people enjoy it. i do agree that they did things different in eragon. but they cant always go step by step when making a book into a movie. anyway got to go my nephew needs me.

yeah. but they messed up so much in eragon that they couldnt even attempt one. and if they did, it would be terrible. ive explained everything before, so im not going to do it again.

What do you mean? I thought The razac look pretty close to the books description.... Yes its messed up but can be fixed easily..... And either way.... Name one Movie That Follows the Book EXACTLY... if they fixed the major problems in the beginning like i said before... It would be like any other movie...

Redwall.



and that is nothing like they are described in the book. THEY ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE MUMMIES!!!!!!!!!!



and even if they did fix it at the beginning, due to time constraints and boredom, they would mess up the rest, change a lot. they might make it, it might be good, but i dont think so. and even if they do make it, you would have to drag me by my hair to get me into a theater to see it.

They dont look like mummies to me....

And i never saw redwall... but i can almost guarantee not all the details in the movie match the book

they are too mummies



and yes redwall did match.


but anyway, thats spamming, i think. so we should get on topic since weve been off for a while.



basically, i dont give a **** about the budget

never even heard of redwall before. but i think we are going to have to agree to disagree on this subject. i would have to go back and read what the young razac are supposed to look like. i had in my mind a creature that looked more bird like. but that could be the parents that im thinking of.

i do agree with elve king ( sorry i spelled your name wrong earlier), i have never seen a movie that goes exactly like the book its made from. i have seen some that do a really good job, they put a few "hollywood" twists in it. that makes it (sometimes) more interesting. the one im thinking of is called Blue Smoke. anyway its time for me to go. talk to ya all in the next round

the pupae (Ra'zac) are supposed to be tall, thin men-like creatures with beaks. they normally cover themselves with hoods because they hate sunlight.


the parents, the Lethr'blaka, are big beasts, and thats the best of the worst descriptions you can give them

thats right. i remember now. thanks

you're welcome. so basically they couldnt make a movie with the Razac attack carvahall, cuz how can mummies attack carvahall (because thats what they look like in the movie)?

besides, there were only two of them, and they died in the movie, so...

The should remake the Eragon movie and then they could make the Eldest movie.

they would embarrass themselves if they tried and remake it......

give it to someone like peter jackson and let him handpick his crew and let weta do the special effects. None of this urgal no horns and elves normal ears crap. Make the movie CP's way, not yours.

i really think they did eragon to the best that it could be done. even though it was terrible, way off-line, there's not much more they could do with it. they had to change the storyline to be quick and to the the point of getting to the battle of Farthen Dur. some of the other stuff was not necessary to change, but the main storyline they had to. so, even if they did remake it, the only thing they could change would be the appearance of the characters, and maybe get that big black shadow thing that durza rides out of the picture. other than that, it would still be crap.
same with the eldest movie. they can't do it cuz eldest is about eragon training. boring movie. it's also about roran fighting, but roran isn't really a main character.....

Yes, but look at the Lord of the Rings. The books had a huge amount of boring parts, and then look at the movies, which I understand you are watching now. They are amazing. It is possible to rewrite a book to fit a movie length while at the same time staying true to the book and making a great story. I know they could have made it better. I watched part of the second disc of the 2 disc set. Fangmeir said he wanted to make the movie unique by "Not giving the urgals horns and the elves pointed ears." If the director wasn't so stupid then the movie could have been better. I think book movies could be great if the author would write the screenplay, although then they would take forever on a book, which Paolini does anyway lol. And also look at Narnia, they are good movies, while at the same time straying from the book. Oh yeah, the battle of Farthen Dur, crap, it wasn't even good and it wasn't how tronjeim was described, so the movie definatly could have been better.

Well, I didn't really like LotR.....or Narnia, for that matter.....I've spent my whole life reading the Chronicles of Narnia books over and over (I was really bored as a kid....lol), and those movies I feel do it injustice....The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe wasn't too bad.....but this Prince Caspian.....it drove me crazy.......i mean, as a movie i suppose it was fine....but to the book, it was crap.....and i suppose that all Eragon fans will never be satisfied with an Eragon movie unless it is 100% accurate, which is almost an impossibility.......



but I find it weird that we're talking about the Eragon movie under an Eldest movie topic......oh well.

I would have been a whole lot more satisfied if they had stuck to the character descriptions, but I suppose your right.

yeah, so would have i, but.....i guess we're stuck with it now.....

its true that the character descriptions lacked a certain something. but all in all it was a pretty good movie. as someone said already, they would have had to do the movie exactly like the book in order to appease everyone. i still think they could do an eldest movie. theres more to the book than just what eragon goes through. as far as the lion witch and the wardrobe, i thought they did an excellent job of turning the book into the movie. I read all the books before watching the movie. i went out and bought it the next day. i havent seen caspien yet but i am sure that it will be just as good and the other. there are very few movies that are family orientated. i consider the narnia set to be some of the best family movies there are. im picky about what i let my 8 and 5 yr old nephews watch.

anyway hope that everyone has a great weekend. and happy holloween.

i agree with siegemaster i dont think they CAN make an eldest movie because they changed or left out too many things that would be important in an eldest movie

Yeah, and even if they were able to some how fix all that they needed to in eldest, for eldest (which I highly doubt), the point that I made in the beginning would come into play. They would have to pay the actors, pay artists for the sets, pay for all the special effects, pay for three big dragons created by the computer into the movie, and all the other stuff. Plus, I doubt that many people would go see the movie because they messed up eragon so bad.

@Aeraldi: yeah, definitely the Ra'zac are the main reason why they can't make it. Because with Eragon training, the main of the movie is going to have to be focused on Roran. But who is Roran supposed to fighting with? The Ra'zac. But the Ra'zac died in the first movie. Well, not really died. But unless they made another shade in the Eldest movie, it would be impossible for the Ra'zac to be raised again.

well, it depends on if you like reading or not......but they probably won't even attempt an eldest movie, because they went off the story too much in eragon the movie

I hope that they make the eldest movie soon. The movie was ok but it was too far from the book. does anyone have an idea about when the movie might come out.

it's probably never going to come out, because they probably aren't going to make one

No

it would cost too much and they made too many mistakes mess ups
if they did do it they would have to make more razac, go back to farthen dur to break the star rose because it is a major part in eldest and Brisingr
they would have to make up another story line completly because Eragon did not go with Arya to Elsmira.

even if they did it would not be the same and be worse than the first and again cost too much for tree dragons.

exactly. and besides, they screwed up the eragon movie too much to make an eldest movie

exactly they killed slon the razac and there was no orick twins or katrina
they would have to do too much to make it work

or they'd have to spend a whole lot more money to redo the eragon movie

I think they're making an Eldest movie, but I hope they don't mess it up like they did in Eragon. I found an ad for it on Google Images if you type in Eldest Movie you chould come up with a movie poster that says it should come out on 12/25/09 which is CHRISTMAS..... in the U.S. at least. If you live in a different country, I have no idea when it comes out. Sorry. I get overly excited sometimes. he,he,he.... ok I better get off now B4 I get into a lauging attack!!!! (:

IL12

wow, talk about a dead topic brought back to life. lol but seriously, if they make a movie, i'm only going to make fun of it. and probably get kicked out of the theatre, but who cares? lol

LOL!!!!!!

When it comes out, I want to see it to see how badly they messed up on this one. He,he,he.......

how could they make a sequel? they didn't include any inportant characters!

i know, and they screwed up a lot in eragon the movie

I know, but maybe they realized that and they'll correct it in the Eldest movie. Hopefully. Fingers crossed.

i don't think there is any way to correct it

the only way to correct it to remake Eragon

yeah, but they won't spend the money to do that

Yeah. Then how will they get the First Eragon movie out of households and get this new one in? I bought my Eragon movie for $7.50 at WalMart. The first one had scratches so I returned it and got a new one.
But they don't show Dras-Leona, Tronjheim, Terim, Theirsford, or any of those cities. Saphira looks different than she does on the cover, but I guess you can't expect perfection from that. But they still could make her look more similar. But now the have to base Thorn and Shruikan on that basic structure. Well, Shruikan needs to looks similar, just not exactly alike since Galb. forced Shruikan to serve him. I wonder if they'll show Ellesmera. They need to so people know how Eragon suddenly gets stronger. Glaedr needs to be based on Saphira but a lot huger! And missing a leg. All we can do is complain, gossip, and wait until it comes out.

IL12.

you realize that all of that you just said will probably never happen in the movie pathetically because of the producers?

I dont think they should make an Eldest movie. Apparently Garrett Hedlund didnt want to be in it because Murtagh goes bad and he doesnt want to screw up his reputation *eye roll* kinda stupid when he was the baddy in Death Sentence.

There was an interview in the video store catalogue when the Eragon movie came out, and the producer I reckon it was, said that they were going to start the movie later that year.
I wouldnt watch it if Garrett Wasnt in it, it would be boring and Murtaghs character would be totally screwed up.

They really did stuff Eragon up. Killing the Razac was a massive mistake, plus cutting out the Katrina and Twin scenes.

you're right, they shouldn't. but they're going too, and now i'm just gonna watch and laugh as it becomes an epic fail and they lose millions.

silly silly hollywood producers

yeah, but at least they provide some epic-fail-entertainment for me. lol

Well, if they do actually make the movie and it does come out, because what I saw might be a fake, it won't be anywhere near as exciting as the book. In every one of the books so far, there has been a battle near the end, Eragon vs. Durza, Eragon vs. Murtagh. It might be fun to see how much they mess this one up.

basically repeat...geez.



but the eldest movie will completely fail unless the producers magically make the ra'zac come back to life

Yeah. That would be cool if they could do that.

Sorry 'bout the repeats.

yeah, because the ra'zac are basically what moved the eldest plot along. i mean, roran would've never left carvahall and had all of his adventures if it hadn't of been for the ra'zac. and roran would basically what the movie will be about, because nobody wants to watch a movie of eragon just training and training and training

How boring would that be! Same thing all the way through the movie. I would fall asleep. Well, I already do when I'm watching Eragon.

lol, i would like be throwing popcorn at the theatre screen. lol

Man, that would get you put out of the theater!
