I do hope they darken her hair, but I can totally see it otherwise. She's got a calm serene presence. Plus she's old enough to not look young, but also doesn't look old, so I'm guessing that's how they'll interpret "ageless".
Is it me or does she look a little bit like Ellen Pompeo?
Super excited about this! Now that the dam has broken, there should be at least a few more casting announcements in the short term, hopefully over the next few weeks.
I adore Rosamund Pike and this has hands-down rekindled my love for WoT. I'm so much more determined to read the books and be raised to an Ajah, now! :horsey
I am most concerned about Nynaeve. But she's my all-time fav. Honestly, if they just cast based on Ariel Burgess' fanart, I would not at all be mad about it.
Yay, this is so exciting!! I really loved her in Pride & Prejudice. I can totally imagine Rosamund Pike as a serene Moiraine. Though hopefully they can shorten her a bit.
I'm happy with the moiraine casting because I don't know who she is. I don't want any of the main characters to be familiar actors to me. That's generally how I feel about shows close to my heart. I don't want pre-formed ideas and opinions about the actor breaking my immersion.
