In addition to the new Percy Jackson series on Disney+, there will be another one on the streaming service Fantasy series to be revived. We’re talking about Eragon – The Legacy of the Dragon Riders. A film adaptation of the novel series was released in 2006, which was a failure with audiences. The first Eragon film will be shown on Sat.1 on Saturday.
Fantasy disaster on TV: That’s what the Eragon film adaptation is about
In the story of the film adaptation, a boy named Eragon (Ed Speleers) finds one in a fantasy world blue stone, which turns out to be a dragon egg. Together with the young dragon Saphira (Rachel Weisz), he finally takes up the fight against the evil ruler of Alagaesia (John Malkovich).
New Eragon series announced for Disney+
At the global box office, the 2006 Eragon film grossed over $250 million on a budget of $100 million, according to Box Office Mojo. This is not a catastrophic result, but it falls far short of commercial expectations. In the Moviepilot community, Eragon only comes up with one poor average of 4.5 with over 6,000 reviews.
As announced in July 2022, Disney is developing a new Eragon series for its own streaming service. The Eragon saga by author Christopher Paolini consists of the four popular novels The Legacy of the Dragon Riders (2003), The Elder’s Mission (2005), The Wisdom of Fire (2008) and The Legacy of Power (2011). Paolini is also involved as a screenwriter in the planned series, for which there is no start date yet.
