Angie here. Really exciting morning for me -- i had a rising-star sighting. i got to meet the star of 'Eragon'! He's 18-year-old Ed Speleers, and he's adorable. This is his first movie role, his first professional acting job, in fact. So this publicity stuff is all new to him -- and filming the blue-screen stuff was a trip too, he said. He had to emote to a tennis ball on a stick (standing in for the dragon); he admitted that it was surreal at first, but he thought of his friends and his mom to inspire him. Awww ... could he get any cuter? Also, he recently got a five-point star tattooed on his inner wrist; it represents his five best friends, who each got the same tattoo. Guess that means that in five years, it'll be easy to spot his entourage.
And i expect he'll have an entourage in five years, if not sooner. He definitely has star quality. Very good-looking, very charming. Don't know how his acting is, but we don't have too long to wait to find that out -- 'Eragon' is coming out this holiday season (i've heard good buzz from folks who saw a clip at Comic-Con), and we'll have the trailer premiere this Friday, so we may get a hint then.
i told Ed (and i AM on a first-name basis with him ... until he becomes a big star, anyway) i couldn't think of another actor who's been in his situation, a first-time role as lead in what's expected to be a huge movie, but it just came to me that Daniel Radcliffe was almost there: 'Harry Potter and the Sorceror's Stone' was only his third role. i wish i'd remembered that when i was talking to Ed -- i would've told him to give Radcliffe a ring, for a little advice on what to expect. Next time i see him, i'll mention it. Yeah, second meeting. That'll happen.

Yes the book was ruined. At the movie i kept telling my friend who hadn't read that's not supposed to happen, that's wrong, or they forgot that. I think the cute guys made up for it though.

looks interesting, but just by the trailer i can tell that it doesn't follow the plot, even if it is a good movie, it'll ruin the book
i agree with darkie there -
oh its me again... just in case you dont know who clarkie is... this is what she/he said-
no. I am most certainly not excited to see Eragon. It was a splendid book, but the movie spoiled it. It shall all go to rot, and no one will read any more, they'll just watch crappy summaries like this. Frankly I'm disgusted. These days you almost wince when you hear a book is being made into a movie. Directors ruin the book's essense, simly sucking the bare story foward and leaving the rich plot and enchanting detail behind. It sickens me.
