Legacy - Movie
Eragon was a 2006 motion picture loosely based upon Eragon, the first book of the Inheritance cycle.
Eragon was directed by Stefen Fangmeier, who has worked on such critically-acclaimed films as The Bourne Identity, Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, and Galaxy Quest. Eragon combines a number of recognizable actors, such as Jeremy Irons and Djimon Hounsou, with relative unknowns.
Christopher Paolini originally asked for a small role in the film; according to rumor, he was supposed to be a Varden soldier who is beheaded during the Battle under Farthen Dûr. The timing of his European book tour created a conflict, however, and he was unable to fulfill his wish.
The release of the movie was accompanied by the release of a video-game. The movie was released to DVD and Blu-ray March 20, 2007.
