Eragon	comment	Eragon is a 2006 action-adventure fantasy film directed by Stefen Fangmeier in his directorial debut. It is an adaptation of Eragon, the first book in the Inheritance Cycle, and stars Ed Speleers as Eragon, Jeremy Irons as Brom, Rachel Weisz as the voice of Saphira and John Malkovich as Galbatorix. Like its contemporary The Golden Compass, the movie took considerable liberties, leaving the core story basically intact, but changing numerous details from the book.The film was intended to be the first in a franchise based on the whole of the book series, with plans made for Fangmeier to shoot adaptations of the next two books (Eldest and Brisingr) back-to-back. However, following the film's poor critical reception and commercial underperformance, the planned franchise was cancelled. Several unsuccessful petitions to remake the film or reboot the film series did gain sizable support, but the choice has reportedly been made to instead adapt the books as a TV series for Disney+.A tie-in video game for the movie was released a month in advance.

Eragon / int_121b3725	type	Age Lift
Eragon / int_121b3725	comment	Age Lift: Eragon is said to be fifteen, "a year from manhood" in the books' setting, at the start of the first book, but is seventeen in the movie, following the same logic with eighteen as the year of majority. While his real age is presumably the same as in the book, Brom's appearance is changed from an elder to a middle-aged man in the movie. The Brom from the books is supposed to have a long, white Wizard Beard and matching hair, but his actor Jeremy Irons (58 years old at the time of the film) sports a short beard and barely has grey hair at all.

Eragon / int_20f689e9	comment	Adaptational Villainy: The Empire. Though they're the villains in the books as well, they're much more blatantly evil in the film. For example, in the first book, the worst thing the Empire did to Carvahall was raise their taxes, but the place was otherwise a peaceful and prosperous village. Here, Carvahall looks like an utterly wretched place to live, with the Empire's guards keeping tabs on everyone, bullying people and even trying to beat up Brom merely for speaking about the old Riders; they also conscript people into the army as soon as they come of age (which is why Roran leaves Carvahall in the film, to avoid being forced to fight). Galbatorix himself. The film leaves out his Freudian Excuse of losing his dragon and being driven mad by the loss and makes apparent that he is evil just because.

Meanwhile, in the movie he seems in control all the time, never loses a fight until the final battle (Eragon shooting him is treated as a minor inconvenience), and even takes out Saphira without breaking a sweat by creating a shadow creature even more powerful than her.

Garrow is a downplayed example, dying at the equivalent point of a few chapters earlier than in the book.

In the film, they are some sort of rotting dirty The Worm That Walks slash mummy creatures. The Urgals here are humans with tattoos rather than horned orcs. Although how attractive they were in the first place is a seperate question. Zig-zagged with the gedwey insignia, the mark of a Dragon Rider. While the film version is more intricate, being a stylized "e" instead of a mere oval mark, it is composed of gnarly scar tissue, whereas the original was essentially a silvery tattoo.

Eragon / int_a4414a05	comment	Adaptation Dye-Job: Arya is the most prominent example, barely resembling her book counterpart at all - in the books she's raven-haired and green-eyed with pointed ears, while in the film, she's a blue-eyed redhead and doesn't have pointed ears. Eragon in the books has dark hair and eyes; in the film he's got blue eyes and blonde hair. Brom is yet another example, as he looks substantially younger than his film book and has shorter hair and beard (detailed under Age Lift). Durza's eyes are described as maroon in the books, but for the film it's changed to an extremely pale color.

Eragon / int_ad1db87c	comment	Oh, Crap!: When Sloan learns that Eragon got the "stone" (actually a Dragon Egg) in the Spine, he's shocked and hurriedly gives back the stone to Eragon, denies its sale, and states he shouldn't have brought it here. It's not clear why he does so in the film, though the book explains that his wife died in the Spine, and he's hated anything associated with it ever since. In the film's context, Sloan appears to recognize the "stone" as an egg from the get-go, as he declares it belongs to the King.

In the movie, nothing about their appearance implies that they are inhuman, instead basically looking like your typical fantasy barbarians. Apparently it was decided that make up or CGI to match the book was too expensive and time consuming.
