Phx The Official Wheel of Time thread!!!

Hey, btw - did any of my female picks go over very well? I haven't heard a single thing on those... ?

Oh, btw... This is Orlando Bloom in real life (as compared to his blond-haired blue-eyed Legolas look):

(I hope that shows up)

 

Kreleia, I agree with you 100% on Moiraine. Rachel Lee Cook would make a good Min as well. I disagree with you on Elayne, I always pictured her as a blonde. Is she a redhead in the books? I also somewhat agree with you on Aviendha, but somehow Claire Danes just reminds me of Juliet.

Maybe Leelee Sobieski for Aviendha? I don't know, she has a deep voice that sounds Aviendhish to me. There was someone else with a deep voice I was thinking about for Aviendha, but I've since forgotten.


*SB*

 

elayne was most definitely blond.

 

I just got past the winternight chapter in the first book and it is just getting better and better I can not put the book down and am dissapointed when I have to. By the way about how old is Rand?

 

erm...I gather he's a teenager starting out...'round 17 or 18?

 

Maura Tierney as Nynaeve?


*SB*

 

Ms. Tierney could work.

I still think Robert Redford would make a good Lan. I know he's not buff, but Lan IS a little older, and Redford has the right face.

 

I'm no good at casting people for stuff. I think I need to read more to get a good grasp on the characters.

sideshow212: Thank you so much for lending me The Great Hunt! I liked it a lot, and I hope to see Mat get better after the dagger issue is dealt with. Could I borrow The Dragon Reborn when I return The Great Hunt?

 

Yep - Maura Tierney would definitely work. Good call. She looks a *tad* too old, but that can be fixed.

 

Ion_Control: sure, just call me your one-stop RJ library!
you can get it whenever i see you next, which will probably be at my party because i won't be able to make it to the meeting next month.

if your interested (after you finish the series!) i also have a short story by robert jordan called "new spring".
it's a little piece about how lan and moraine meet, very cool!

 

I'd have to say a big negative on Redford as Lan...Lan has GOT to be a big dude and intimidating...his acting isn't the highest priority since Lan has few lines anyway.

 

sideshow: Thanks!

 

ion: anytime!

sorry guys, but i gotta agree with jedidragon on this.
c'mon! lan is the freaking conan of the group!


i guess there really is no right answer since everyone who reads the series will have there own views, but it's fun!

 

I guess I never pictured Lan as being the hulking buff type. I always thought of him as the toned, somewhat sinewy swordsman. Kinda like a Samurai who's trained all his life, ya know? ('cept taller)

 

I agree with Moe. I just don't picture Lan as a hulking beast of a guy, but tall and lean. One good thing about books that haven't been made into movies-everyone who reads has their own cast.

 

I can't really look it up b/c I don't remember where it was, but I remember it saying that Lan was a big guy (not in those words obviously). He towers over Nynaeve and he's supposed to be broad shouldered...that puts a big, ripped guy in my head for that...*shrug*.

 

WOW...4th page...

TO THE TOP!!

 

I have just started on my virgin tour of The Wheel of Time I have finished the prologue and am now beginning chapter 1. Wish me luck.

 

Light, you are now one of us. I am currently about halfway though #6. Good stuff.

 

glad to hear you made it past 5 (IMO the worst one). The end of 6 is cool as frell! Just wait till you get to book 9 though...great stuff!

 

argh, I just realized that Harry Potter 5 and WoT 10 come out the same month...hrm. Which to read first? Probably wheel of time b/c it'll be easier to get ahold of at the base library...

 

I thought Harry Potter 5 wasn't coming out until next June. And isn't the new WOT coming out in November? ? Which one got moved?! (If it's HP, YEAH!!)

 

well, im pretty sure the 10th WoT book is still due out in november...

 

Last time I checked, the new WOT is still November. That is as of 2 weeks ago.

 

people are telling me in the Harry Potter thread (on the Denver forum) that Harry Potter is comin out in November to correspond with the new movie...

here is the link to the Denver Harry Potter thread

And yeah, book 10 is definitely coming out in November.
