the film was so bad indeed one wish's it had never even reached the silver screen. even with the deluxe 2 disc dvd with deleted scenes and a faneditor could the movie be salvaged. the movie should have been more like lord of the rings and less than a film a bit too late to cach in on its success.
if the inheritance trilogy got the same treatment as the harry potter series it could have been good.
funny how publicly he came out and supported the movie one wonders how the young author could have and how much money they gave him.
the first movie was so terribly miscast and the effects were crap, and the music, and the script and the film flopped that eldest will probably not get made. you had nothing really mentioned in the film like the invented language that paolini did and the first since tolkien to do so.
i cannot wait for the third book in the inheritance trilogy since it will be probably the authors first truly polished novel and adult effort. the first book was kind of a high school kids fanfic and attempt at tolkien and mcaffrey, rippoff and the second was a sophomore effort.
thank god new line got the rights to the wonderful trilogy by phillip pullman of golden compass trilogy.
plus walden media with disney and weta are doing a great job on the narnia films.
i can only hope that terry brooks first film based on his book elfstones is good.
the hobbit had better be an mgm/newline/weta co production with peter jackson at least as exec producer if not director so the cast will be on board. nobody should play gandalf but ian mckellen.
