We have established that Eragon never delivered on the expectations the studio had for it and that the movie cannot be labeled as having been successful. This prompted Fox to quickly cancel all sequel plans and that is why we never got to see a sequel to Fangmeier’s Eragon, i.e., that is why 20th Century Fox abandoned these projects and the whole franchise. And with everything set for a box office hit, Eragon was met with lukewarm (that’s an euphemism) reception by both fans and critics and the success Fox had hoped for was not anywhere near.

I think until you kind of have an understanding of what the third piece of that puzzle is, it’s kind of hard to look at that second book, of course I read it, it’s very much a transitional story element. I think it’s very important to see where this ends up how it’s resolved. Evidentially, I asked Christopher (Paolini writer of the Eragon trilogy)…, about that and he was not volunteering much of what was going to happen. My own personal perspective is that until we sort of figure out what happens in the third book. “I’m not quite sure what is currently going on.
