Insomniac Mania had the pleasure of attending the London Expo this weekend and was among the first in the world to see a teaser of upcoming fantasy flick "Eragon", along with being in the audience for lead star Edward Speleers first ever interview. They've posted up a break down of the footage shown from the fantasy epic and here's a sample:

"The teaser started with a voice over talking about a "time of legends" and "a land shrouded in darkness", and then introduced us to Edward Speleers as Eragon. In the footage we saw him receive his dragon egg, be told it will only open when it has a bond with its dragon rider, and Jeremy Iron's character telling him that he was a dragon rider. Multiple brief scenes followed of what looked like Eragon using a sword similar to that in the display picture above (although we only saw a hand wielding it), a huge battle with lots of warriors in armour, plenty of vast landscape style shots a la "Lord of the Rings", and John Malkovich's King character looking very brooding and menacing.

There was hardly any effects shots shown (apparently because they are still making them!), but there were two extremely brief early effects shots of a dragon passing by the camera over head. You really couldn't see much apart from the outline of a seemingly blue Dragon flying extremely fast! The teaser footage also gave extremely brief shots of Sienna Guillory, Joss Stone, and Djimon Hounsou in action, although again it was way too brief to make any judgements on quality of acting in the movie yet! The footage just hyped all the actors Oscar Nominations, and Wins each time one appeared on screen".
