Talk: Eragon (movie)

== A new casting ==
Ok so i know this is heka random but since this movie was a distaster lets just pretend that you were a director for this movie! Who would you cast?

Me personally i would keep the cast except for Sienna Guilleroy(?) who played Arya and the guy that played Galabatorix! I would chose Kristen Kreuk to play Arya i mean she does meet the physical appearances of the book! But other than that i would keep the cast! <small>—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Kell N75|Kell N75]] ([[User talk:Kell N75|Talk]] ▪ [[Special:Contributions/Kell N75|Contributions]] ▪ [[Special:Log/Kell N75|<font color="#002bb8">Logs</font>]]) .

::If everyone is done butchering this, I have something to say. I NEVER read the book as I am not a 15 year old girl. I picked this up after being forced to watch it at a nieces house and I actually liked it. I have read all of the differences people have found between the book and the movie and most are too small to worry about( I mean hair color? come on!) I thought the movie was perfect in length and it has to be faster paced than the book or people would lose interest( anyone who has sat thru a 3 and 1/2 hour movie like blow, would agree). I understand it would be difficult to follow the books if they ever did a sequel but I don't think they have to necessarily. As far as the star wars references on here, if I remember correctly, George Lucas used these exact guidlines when he wrote those and said all good movies could follow that.Just had to get these off my chest.Thanks <small>—The preceding unsigned comment was added by [[User:Broker27|Broker27]] ([[User talk:Broker27|Talk]] ▪ [[Special:Contributions/Broker27|Contributions]] ▪ [[Special:Log/Broker27|<font color="#002bb8">Logs</font>]]) 07:57, May 25, 2010.

::Well first off, the movie IS crap whether you have or haven't read the book. The effects are nice, but the plot reads like one of those B-grade movies on tv you see on sunday afternoons. Yeah okay stuff like hair colour didn't really matter to me, but still, why the need to change so many details of the story? It only leaves fans of the book (basically 99% of the fans) annoyed. After all, we want Eragon by Christopher Paolini, not Eragon by some random director. And I haven't seen blow, but don't suppose you've seen LOTR part 3? These epic fantasies need 3 hour plus shows simply because of their looong timelines. If not it just loses its epicness. If you did like the movie then I STRONGLY suggest you go read the book! Unless you were just in it for the special effects/blonde actor then go watch transformers/twilight.

::I'll admit, being a fan of Eragon, this movie fell down a cliff with similarities. However, if we wait another couple of years, we could make a decent movie. First off, new director. I can't even begin to fathom how relatively unknown the director was (I can't even remember his name). Someone who has read the books and has made awesome movies in the past. I should think someone like Lucas, Spielberg, Abrams, or Jackson (can't do Tolkien all his life. great director though). Then we would be rolling in a new direction. Then the cast would be next. I know some people would disagree because of a similar problem before, but I think Scarlett Johansson should be Arya. A director as mentioned above would think of two words: HAIR DYE. Also, I think maybe Harrison Ford or George Clooney could pull off Brom. Any other thoughts?
