We’re already trending! Get those numbers up, folks! Let’s show them the power of this fully operational fandom! Ahahaha!” “With a fandom as large as ours, an organized and consistent message has a real chance of making an impact.” “The time has come to stand together, unified in our call for an adaptation!” the website reads in part.

The writer rallied his fans on Twitter, urging them to ask Disney to remake the critically reviled 2006 movie based on his debut book, The Wrap reports. The belief that just because your movie looks a bit like "Lord of the Rings" it must be good like it, is incorrect.Author Christopher Paolini really, really wants a new film version of his 2003 fantasy novel, Eragon. It seems that the makers of this movie thought, "This movie has swords, magic, old English style speech, horses and dragons, it therefore must be good". Eragon is a poor movie at best that fails to be entertaining, especially when compared to the other movies it is copying they style of such as "Lord of the Rings" and "Harry Potter". Every character in the entire movie is like this, if someone is crying over a slain comrade all they do is frown and have a look of "dang it" on their face, if someone is cheering over victory, all they do is leer and go "woooo". Now normally people seeing a small monster burst out of a rock would express quite some level of surprise or shock, but all our star does is raise his eyebrows slightly and give a pathetic tiny gasp. For example there is the scene where the main character discovers that the stone he has found isn't a rock but actually a dragon egg as the egg hatches. The acting of the movie is far below par, as it seems that nobody in this movie seems to have emotions as if all the characters were cyborgs from the Terminator series or Steven Segal. It almost seems as if the movie was written by a 9th grade high school student for his English class. In his homeland of Alagaesia, a farm boy happens upon a dragon's egg - a discovery that leads him on a predestined journey where he realizes he's the one person who can defend his home against an evil king. Characters come and go as they please with no relevance to the story, such as the archer who just suddenly appears out of nowhere and then just aimlessly follows the main characters without actually adding anything to the story. With Ed Speleers, Jeremy Irons, Sienna Guillory, Robert Carlyle. They have stated, in the past, that their would be a movie eventually, but there has been no new information. As of now, 20 Century has not released any new information on the subject of Eldest being made into a movie. Entire scenes of the movie plod along with absolutely no meaning or relevance to the story, scenes which should have been cut out of the movie to make the narrative flow better. They made the first movie, and it was a minor success making 250ML at the box office, whilst the film cost 130ML to make. The story is rushed quickly jumping from one thing to the next without any plot development so the viewer is left constantly wondering what is going on, one second our main character is a naive farmer, the next he is suddenly a fully experienced warrior with absolutely no evidence showing exactly where he gained this experience from. The book was previously adapted into a film of the same name in 2006 with Ed Speleers as Eragon, Rachel Weisz as the voice of Saphira, Jeremy Irons as Brom, and John Malkovich as Galbatorix. The writing of the movie is by far its weakest aspect. The story is rushed unexplained and poorly thought out, the acting is below par, and the cinematography is annoying with its tilted angles and range so close to the action so that you can't see what is going on.
