It was the number one movie at the worldwide box office in its opening weekend, the 16th highest grossing movie of 2006, and the sixth highest grossing swords and sorcery movie of all time.
It starred Ed Speleers in the title role, Jeremy Irons as his father Brom, and Robert Carlyle as the villainous Durza. In 2006, the book was adapted into a movie by first time director Stefen Fangmeier. It remained on the New York Times Children’s Books Best Seller list for 121 weeks and was the second best-selling children’s paperback book of 2005. Knopf published Eragon after a few more minor edits and then it really took off. That’s when Hiaasen decided to introduce Paolini and his book to his publisher, Knopf. Hiaasen bought the book for his stepson, who fell in love with it. He struggled to get noticed until, eventually, he was spotted during one of these talks by a novelist named Carl Hiaasen.
His parents were so impressed by the manuscript that they decided to self-publish it and take him across America, giving eight-hour talks in medieval gear to promote it. Christopher Paolini wrote Eragon when he was just fourteen years old.
