Who shall succeed toward the end? Shall good overcome evil? Or will all be lost to the dark forces forever? Fly with the adventure.
A nice new trilogy could be on the horizon for the fantasy world post-Lord of the Rings. An interesting story line with some good action sequences. If the first story in any trilogy sets the story line, Eragon 2 and Eragon 3 could be some pretty nice fantasy flicks (if they get made). I haven't heard anything yet and this movie costs $100 million to make and only took in $75 million at the box office. It should make a profit on DVD however.
