The Wheel of Time: Rafe Judkins & Rosamund Pike Answer Fans Questions
To say that Thursday was a big day for fans looking forward to Amazon and showrunner & EP Rafe Judkins' upcoming live-action series adaptation of Robert Jordan's "The Wheel of Time" novels would be an understatement. But releasing a teaser and announcing a November 19th premiere date for the first season wasn't enough for Judkins and series star Rosamund Pike (Moiraine). So what they did was give fans a chance to ask them questions on a wide range of topics (from who's composing the music to questions about specific moments being included to what the future might hold beyond Season 1), and then the duo pulled 25 to answer on social media. And thanks to the fine folks over at Amazon who do marketing & promotion, we have the questions and answers presented in a manner very fitting of the series. Here's a look at what all of you had to ask and what Judkins & Pike had to say:
