The Wheel of Time book one-The Eye of the World is being made into a movie. I'm trying to think which current actors would fit the various characters in the novels. One of the things that attracted me to Robert Jordans series, was it's constant theme of empowerment of women: The Aes Sedhai, the Aiel maidens of the spear and particularly the series guide and wanderer, it's Gandalf if you like, the aes sedhai Moiraine Damondred of the blue ajah. Now, in my mind, I've always envisioned Kate Mulgrew(Capt. Janeway)as being the perfect Moiraine, right down to those "steely-chimes"of a voice. Elaida would be Judge Judy, though she's not an actor. Thom Merrilyn, Billy Connely(an excellent Bombadil if there ever was one), would anyone else care to fill in the blank for the rest of the cast?
