Shooting has already started in Budapest, but one piece of casting still had to fall into place to complete the line-up for Eragon, the story of dungeons, dragons and dodgy dealings from the bestseller by Christopher Paolini. With John Malkovich, Jeremy Irons, Djimon Hounsou and newcomer Ed Speeler all in place, all that remained was to find a girl who could play the main female role, an elf called Arya. Happily, however, Sienna Guillory has signed on for the role. Fans of her high-kicking zombie fighting in Resident Evil: Apocalypse will be glad to know that Guillory isn't just going to sit around moping all the time because some bloke she's in love with can't get his act together and go off to be King. No, this is one elf who knows one end of a horse from the other, and is in fact sent on a dangerous mission at the beginning of the film. She has to carry a precious cargo from the elves to the humans who have rebelled against the evil King Galbatorix (Malkovich). These rebels are known as the Alliance - sorry, Varden, and are led by Ajihad (Hounsou). Clear? Well, don't worry
