Rosamund Pike is playing Moiraine. Cannoli Send a noteboard - 20/06/2019 11:16:24 PM

She was the wife in "Gone Girl", she was in the last Pierce Brosnan Bond film and most recently of what I saw, in "Hostiles" with Christian Bale, "Beirut" with Jon Hamm and "7 Days in Entebbe" where she played the female terrorist.

She's got the ageless look, and she can probably do a good job on the whole reserved, superior and mysterious thing Moiraine does. Only issue is that she's a bit tall for the part.

More than a bit tall damookster - 21/06/2019 03:22:57 AM 459 Views
5'2" per the WoT Companion. *NM* Cannoli - 21/06/2019 11:33:40 AM 230 Views
For what it's worth, Erica Tazel, who played Rachel Brooks on Justified and Emilia Clarke, are 5'2" Cannoli - 22/06/2019 12:49:49 PM 460 Views
Moiraine isn't actually "middle aged" though. She is all of 40-ish out of a 700-ish lifespan. Dunstan - 24/06/2019 02:59:59 PM 449 Views
700-ish is without the binder effects of the oath rod. damookster - 24/06/2019 03:18:36 PM 505 Views
The binders cause them to gray and die prematurely. They don’t actually make them AGE any faster. Dunstan - 25/06/2019 08:31:18 PM 608 Views

Is her height a particularly important trait? *NM* fionwe1987 - 21/06/2019 12:31:58 PM 225 Views
Only if it signifies that the show will be cast with no consideration for descriptions. *NM* damookster - 21/06/2019 01:57:09 PM 235 Views
So you were furious when Hugh Jackman was cast as Wolverine? Roland00 - 21/06/2019 06:33:16 PM 435 Views
No but I hated Tom Cruise as Jack Reacher damookster - 21/06/2019 10:13:18 PM 449 Views

I just realized Rosamund Pike was the female lead in Reacher with Tom Cruise. How funny. *NM* damookster - 23/06/2019 01:37:51 AM 231 Views
Why else would you have brought that movie up? *NM* Cannoli - 26/06/2019 11:45:31 PM 228 Views
Height is not always obvious on screen fionwe1987 - 21/06/2019 07:44:00 PM 425 Views
I may be wrong, but I recall her physical height being referred to constantly in the books. HyogaRott - 21/06/2019 04:35:40 PM 512 Views

I would say yes.... Jeordam - 21/06/2019 04:48:12 PM 448 Views
Have you read New Spring? Legolas - 21/06/2019 06:34:39 PM 446 Views
But her thoughts are never vocalized on New Spring... fionwe1987 - 21/06/2019 07:47:42 PM 463 Views
That seems like an odd argument. Legolas - 21/06/2019 09:13:51 PM 480 Views
Height's relative, and can be manipulated on screen, if needed... fionwe1987 - 21/06/2019 09:46:20 PM 400 Views
I find it ineteresting that they are calling her role the lead role random thoughts - 24/06/2019 02:41:40 PM 435 Views
Remove the PoV structure of the books, and she is the lead in Eye of the World. *NM* fionwe1987 - 24/06/2019 05:08:44 PM 203 Views
I guess that depends on how you define lead random thoughts - 25/06/2019 02:21:02 PM 426 Views
Moiraine was the Dragon Reborn?!? *NM* Jeordam - 24/06/2019 05:36:37 PM 238 Views
