Opening Sequence for My Eragon Movie
Brom is narrating; "The sands of time cannot be stopped, . . ." blah, blah, blah. Begins with a wide shot of the Alagaesia map, then moves around to different places as Brom tells the tale of the Riders. Then, as Brom tells of the promising young Rider, Galbatorix, the camera zooms in on Uru-baen, pausing just long enough for the name 'Uru-baen' to fade and replaced with 'Ilirea'. As it zooms, the map becomes an actual landscape. Two dragons, one white, the other black, and their Riders are engaged in aerial combat. Finally, the black dragon clamps its jaws around the white dragon's throat, holds for a moment, then releases its grip. The black lands on a cliff face as the white plummets to earth far below. Miraculously, the white's Rider survived. He staggers to the dragon's head and tries futilely to rouse his dragon, oblivious to the foomp, foomp behind him. He turns to curse the one who did this, then raises his arms as if to shield himself. He screams as the black dragon's ebon flames engulf him. Brom finishes: "So fell Vrael, last of the Riders." The camera rotates until the white dragon's body vaguely resembles an 'e', then the other letters of 'Eragon' appear as the ground fades to black.
