 Inheritance
It began with Eragon... It ends with Inheritance...
Not so very long ago, Eragon - Shadeslayer, Dragon Rider – was nothing more than a poor farm boy, and his dragon, Saphira, only a blue stone in the forest. Now, the wait of an entire civilization rests on their shoulders.
Long months of training and battle have brought victories and hope, but they have also brought heartbreaking loss. And still, the real battle lies ahead: they must confront Galbatorix. When they do, they will have to be strong enough to defeat him. And if they cannot, no one can. There will be no second chances.
The Rider and his dragon have come farther than anyone dared to imagine. But can they topple the evil king and restore justice to Alagaesia? And if so, at what cost?
On the 9th of November Inheritance is published and the burning questions asked by fans around the world will finally be answered – all will be revealed.
The final battle begins.

 Immortals!
Visionary director Tarsem Singh and the producers of the epic "300", Mark Canton and Gianni Nunnari along with Ryan Kavanaugh (The Fighter), unleash an epic tale of treachery, vengeance and destiny in Immortals, a stylish and spectacular 3-D action adventure. As a power-mad king razes ancient Greece and threatens to destroy mankind, a heroic young villager rises up against him in a thrilling quest as timeless as it is powerful.
Tarsem Singh's previous films "The Cell" and "The Fall" were both visually stunning films with complex, intriguing story-lines. "Immortals" looks to be continuing that trend with a fantastic cast including Mickey Rourke (Iron Man 2), Henry Cavill (The New Superman!), Kellan Lutz (The Twilight Saga), John Hurt (the Harry Potter series), Aussie Supa-Star Isabel Lucas (Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen), Stephen Dorff (Blade), Freida Pinto (Slumdog Millionaire) and Luke Evans (Clash of the Titans).
This incredible looking film opens November 24th all around Australia and should be experienced in eye-popping 3-D!
For your chance to win tickets to an exclusive preview screening of IMMORTALS in your capital city, head to Facebook.com/UniversalPicturesAU to enter.”
