Ed Good: Newcomer Ed Speleers hasn't been in a lot of movies. In fact, this is his first. But judging by this trailer, the youngster has charisma to spare, not to mention a stare that'll stop ladies, evil kings and dragons in their tracks.
Move Over, Frodo? Early buzz suggests that 'Eragon,' based on wunderkind author Christopher Paolini's sweeping epic, could join 'The Lord of the Rings' and 'The Chronicles of Narnia' as one of the truly great fantasy films of our time.

      First-time director Stefen Fangmeier is the man responsible for the jaw-dropping visual effects in such films as 'Jurassic Park' and 'Saving Private Ryan.' Translation: Expect the world of Alagaesia -- and all its dragons and such -- to look pretty freakin' awesome.
