For those who grew up in the early 2000s, that usually took one of thre forms: either you got really into the faux-reference book Dragonology, you got really into the How to Train your Dragon, or you got really into Eragon.
How to Train Your Dragon has now been successfully adapted multiple times, so Disney is trying its hand at another part of this holy trinity.
According to Deadline, Disney is officially making a live-action series based on Eragon, the first book in Christopher Paolini’s Inheritance Cycle series.
The story follows a young boy named Eragon who finds a strange stone that turns out to be a dragon egg.
Out from the egg hatches Saphira, a magnificent blue dragon who shares a telepathic link with Eragon.
