a female dragon called Saphira

The most fantastic personage of the book – a female dragon called Saphira – comes to the screen thanks to the last generation "sorcery" of one of the most prestigious companies of visual effects from the sector: Digital Weta (the trilogy of " The Lord of the Rings ", " King Kong ") and Industrialist Light and Magic (the movies of "Star Wars", " Jurassic Park "). Also, Weta is creating the gigantic scene of the battle that constitutes the climax of Eragon, in which the forces of the good, supervised by the young Eragon fight against the King Galbatorix's army.
Along more than two milleniums the dragons have been – depending on the culture and the epoch – loved, been afraid or even adored. These mythical creatures are a vital support of the popular culture. Although Saphira of Eragon's novel is inspired by the rich legacy of the winged creatures of the stories, his technical creation keeps a narrower relation with the dinosaurs of " Jurassic Park ", since for the first time the power of the images generated by the most advanced computers gives "her" feelings and sensations which could be easily undestood by the public.
Eragon presents a mythology according to which there was a time in which the Dragons Riders brought the peace and the prosperity to Alagaësia. The Dragons were providing his Riders of magic power, they even were making them immortal. No enemy was capable of defeating them, until one of theirs, Galbatorix, decided to remain with all the power and annihilate the Dragon Riders. But the discovery on the part of Eragon of a shining egg of color sapphire, of which one is born her dragon Saphira makes that lost period revive.
Having discovered his real way as Dragon Rider, and with his mentor's help, Brom, Eragon is determined to restore the golden age of justice that once was known , if it can survive the frame-ups of King Galbatorix. Eragon is snatched from a world of magic and power, turning into an authentic hero and into the last hope of the people of Alagaësia.
The role that gives title to the movie is played by the 18-year-old new actor Ed Speleers , who obtained the part after Twentieth Century Fox and the producers had realized tests of share-out in the whole world, which rivalled with the hunting of a cinematographic "Harry Potter" and were composed by hundreds of tests in alive and of screen.
The movie also counts, between his principal roles, with Jeremy Irons, winner of an Award of the Academy, in the personage of Brom, an ancient Dragons Rider who turns into the mentor of Eragon; with the candidate for the Oscar John Malkovich, who gives life to powerful and evil King Galbatorix; Robert Carlyle rewarded with the award of the British Academy of Cinema, Theater and Television (BAFTA) personifies the powerful sorcerer Durza; Djimon Hounsou equally suction to the Oscar, interprets Ajihad, the boss of the rebels Vardens; Sienna Guillory is the beautiful combatant Arya; and Garrett Hedlund, a young man with a cloudy past.
Since it corresponds to the royal freightage of Saphira, one of the best actresses of the actuality – the winner of the Award of the Academy Rachel Weisz – gives his "voice" to the dragon. The performance of Weisz gives life to the key idea of the novel of Christopher Paolini: the form as Saphira communicates with Eragon. Saphira does not speak, unlike what it would happen with a traditional personage created by computer. Instead of it, the dragon gets connected telepatically with his Rider, which reinforces the emotional, almost spiritual, existing tie between both personages.
Eragon is directed by Stefen Fangmeier, one of the authentic geniuses of the visual effects with which the movie industry is provided. During his stay in Industrialist Light and Magic, Fangmeier supervised movies as " Saving the Soldier Ryan ", "Twister", " The Perfect Thunderstorm " and " Master and Commander: To Another Side of the World ". It has obtained three times the Award BAFTA and has been a candidate for the Oscar another four times.
