An epic fantasy film with a massive budget should be trusted to a director experienced with bringing such a world to life.
You wanna know the most likely reason why they ended up with a no-name first time director instead? Because the Peter Jacksons and the Del Toros and the David Yateses took one look at it and passed on the project because they all had too much common sense and good taste to want to waste any more of their time on it than that. Seriously, Jackson already directed LoTR. Why would he want to do it again with a vastly inferior knockoff?
Before embarking on his upcoming scifi novel, Christopher wrote a screenplay for a science fiction movie. He has the know-how and experience to tackle such a project
Writing ONE screenplay means you are now qualified to write and produce a big budget Hollywoo movie?? HAHAHAHAHAH. I've written two screenplays, I'll have you know. Where's me red carpet and Oscar statue at?
No way Chris will allow anything that he doesn't like happen to his Sue.
Such as having his many extremely serious flaws acknowledged in text. Instead he should be allowed to do whatever the fuck he likes to other people and still be hailed as the most perfect guy ever.
The story has no heart!
Which is one of its biggest flaws. The emotional centre of things was supposed to be the Eragon/Saphira "friendship", but Paolini clearly has no idea how to convey a convincing friendship. They treat each other like shit, FFS. Indeed as the series goes on they seem to grow progressively less interested in each other.
Like the whole IC, then.
Do they seriously think the Cycle has a big, complex plot? Because come on. A bunch of random crap happening does not constitute a coherent plot. Or indeed a plot, period.
However, there may simply be too much plot within the four books to successfully tell the story in just four movies.
The "plot" is literally just "hero gets super powers and teams up with generic rebels to fight generic evil". Everything else goes precisely nowhere and most of it is completely irrelevant. This person needs to pull their head out of their ass.
There isn't going to be a movie reboot, or a TV series. Live with it and move on.
