YO FROM HUNGARY
Hey there peeps!! Sorry it took me sooooooo long to let you know what is goin on but........there is no internet in my hotel....I'm in Trevor Jones hotel room in the Hotel Aqua, in a little town outside of Budapest. You may remember Trevor from the episode, "DUETS". Jason flipped him backwards. Anyway......yes, as many of you have asked, I am working on the movie "ERAGON".............swords, dragons, dwarves, giants...........good times. I am here with an international cast of stunt people from Hungary, London, Newzealand, Czechs, USA, Germany, France, and many more..........these people rock!! We have been training with swords everyday since I arrived last Saturday................huge battle scenes.........the local people are great........the language is hard to understand. The women are beautiful. Oh, Harry Potter's double wants you all to know that they like to overcharge for everything and pretend like nothing happened. His name is Marc Mailley. He is playing a stunt dwarf. My boy Moo here, from Newzealand, says its time to go to the pub now........its our only day off today..........Sunday........6 day weeks.........fantastic experience........damn........they are playing a kick around with the soccer ball behind me in the room!! That's it.......it hit me in the head! Ask Ivon about Hungary, he is from here. I never thought I would see this country in my life............love it!!! Talk to you all soon. Ciao. BAMBAM.

Good to hear that things are going well in Hungary! It sounds like a lot of fun (a lot of work, too, but fun). I think we'll all forgive you for long pauses in updating your blog.
Stay well.
Dang. You have a cool job. ;P
Sounds fabulous! Give those New Zealander's hell for me, altho i don't advise trying to outdrink them :-p
Sounds like a fun time...:D
dwarves, dragons, swords...Oh my...
Thanks for thinking of us and giving us an update. This will actually make me want to see this movie now when it comes out so they should pay you extra for finding setting up an audience for it in advance:)
Be safe.
Cool ! Now we can actually hope for behind the scenes info on Eragon ;-)
Although I guess it's all according to production plans, maybe Eragorn producers aren't as willing as Stargate ones to authorize blogging ?
We've got bits & pieces of Eragorn here in french movie magazines but hardly enough yet.
Hope you'll enjoy working in Europe - and use your Hungary base to travel around !
Take care

I figured you were probably working on Eragon. Wait until I tell my little sister, her squeals will break glass this time. (She loves Eragon and Stargate SG-1.) Have fun and stay safe. :)
