It truly is the big blue feathery elephant in the room that needs to be addressed.
At least, Rachel Stone, 22, truly believes it is. After literally wetting herself with joy at the release of 2006’s Eragon, the movie adaption of Christopher Paolini’s 2003 novel of the same name, Stone has waited 12 (!) years for the movie adaption of the much-better sequel, Eldest, and less so the last 2 books of the ‘Inheritance Cycle,’ which even she admits were pretty shit.
“But man…. Just can’t wait to see Eldest! It’ll be hard when Ed Speelers plays Eragon 12 years later, but I guess he’ll just look older from his experiences.”
When asked whether she thought the book series was far too derivative of Lord of the Rings and Star Wars, Rachel visibly blanched, muttered ‘Brisingr’ under her breath and gently stroked the two blue-painted semi-automatic machine guns she has tied on strings from her ceiling which she calls Saphira and Thorn.
“Eragon is an orgasmically good film. Eldest will be even more so. Again, pretty chilled about the next ones after that BUT BY THE GREAT BLACK DRAGON SHRUIKAN GIVE ME ELDEST THE MOVIE!”
The Obiter’s interviewers quickly left shortly after that. Perhaps a film will come out? We at The Obiter recognise it will be hard restart, especially after the death of both Jeremy Iron’s character and Ed Speeler’s acting career.
When author Paolini was asked about it from the basement of his parent’s house from which he (true story) received home-schooling until 15 and then published Eragon the book. His response was ‘get out’. Which is funny, ‘cos that’s another film!
Is the future bright like Arya the hot-elf for the Inheritance Series? Maybe only Glaedr or Solembum knows, but if a movie does come out, you know that Rachel Stone will be rushing to the cinemas quicker than you can figure out how to properly pronounce the name ‘Murtaugh’.
None to come.
