As much as I would love a remake of the movie or a TV show let's think realistically. Because of the name of the movie, the maker (cannot remember the name but who cares?) Made a lot of money. A lot more than he/she should have. This means that, in his eyes, it was successful and therefore will not make another one with the fear that it could be a flop.
The makers of the movie knew they could not continue because there were MAJOR plotholes and it could not have continued without the characters that were cut out. Scramblers restaurant. What do you guys think?. Eventually, yes.
For the same reason LotR and Harry Potter will eventually be remade. A new age, with new tastes and new tech, that can create a very different, and hopefully better, movie.The books are fairly popular, and with the success of LotR have a potential to make a lot of money if done well. Having Peter Jackson direct would be a mistake, though.
It would be too much like LotR, and since Eragon is already criticized for being too much like Star Wars, I don't think we need Eragon to be considered a ripoff of both (though some already think it is).If someone comes along that wants to make it, and has a good plan and a good plot in mind, then I could easily see it happening in the next decade or so. Expect, The Inheritance Cycle doesn't have those reasons that Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter has. Mainly that they have both critically and finically successive that of transcending into culture and classics.While the Inheritance Cycle was/is a successful series, it hasn't reached those heights. The series probably never will.There's a host of other fantasy series that are just like the Inheritance Cycle.
Those haven't proven a failure for adaptions/money makers like Eragon the movie did. All equally deserve it over the Inheritance Cycle.
I highly doubt it. While any 'true' Eragon fan would be thrilled and undoubtedly see it in theatres, who else would? The majority of the public would just view it as a remake of a shitty movie, which followed an identical storyline, with less action. Because let's face it, to anyone not concerned about following the book's plot, it would be the same movie but without the flying smoke dragons and killing ra'zac. While the fans of the book facepalmed incredibly hard at all these bullshit changes, a typical viewer would just see it as a remake with less action.And to be perfectly honest, I hope they never do remake it.
Personally, I have the books visualized, and have held onto these visualizations for over a decade now, so I will never be able to break away from them. Thus, whatever the movie depicts (no matter how 'good') will look wrong/incorrect. The only time a fantasy world was successfully brought onto the big screen was LotR, and even then Jackson had to cut out and change a lot from the books. Your first statement is a 'No-True Scotsman' fallacy. Your whole point collapses in on it's self. Secondly, no movie will ever be a perfect adaption.
If it tried, it probably be a failure. A movie, in order to be financially successful, has to appeal to as many people as possible. The audience ignorant about the source material will always be larger than those who do. (Maybe in rare circumstances this isn't always true.) The Avengers movie wasn't successful because it pandered to comic book fans.Movies and books are two different mediums. What works for one, doesn't always work for the other.
Terraform engineering. There will always be cuts, changes, or different interpretations. That's why Peter Jackson cut and changed the book. Some things just didn't work in the realm of the medium. Your first statement is a 'No-True Scotsman' fallacy. Your whole point collapses in on it's self.Not necessarily, as it was the reason I placed quotation marks around the word 'true'.
There is no argument being based upon the notion of a 'true Eragon fan'. I simply use it to refer to the group of people who hated the movie due to its lack of faithfulness to the original text. Whether someone is a true fan or not has nothing to do with the point being made - bad phrasing on my part I suppose.Secondly, no movie will ever be a perfect adaption. If it tried, it probably be a failure.

What works for one, doesn't always work for the other. There will always be cuts, changes, or different interpretations. That's why Peter Jackson cut and changed the book. Some things just didn't work in the realm of the medium.Agree on this point as well - thus why I used LotR as an example of a successful transition from book to movie, despite its changes.
