The time for the studio to develop Eldest, the second book in the Inheritance Cycle, would have been in the immediate years after the first movie’s release. But the problem was that this movie came out a year after ‘Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire’ hit the big screen, and the movie poster was just too similar.Īt this point, an Eragon movie sequel is incredibly unlikely. Is it a gorgeous work of art like the Interstellar poster - or even the Hunger Games posters?Īnd it doesn’t necessarily have to be. Look, there’s nothing inherently terrible about the poster.
Let’s start with the lesser of the cinema sins - the movie poster. But with those high expectations came high disappointment. It goes without saying that movie execs and fans both expected the film to kick off a mega-franchise. The Eragon movie cast had at least one big name: Jeremy Irons was attached to play Obi-Brom Kenobi. The first book was the third best-selling children’s book of 2003, right behind J.K. But, hey, the books were fun, and they left young readers wishing they had dragons themselves.Īnd not only that but these books were mega hits. Paolini’s books got a lot of flack back in the day for being Lord of the Rings/Star Wars rip-offs – and there’s probably a lot of merit there.
