The Wheel of Time: Rosamund Pike Reads Robert Jordan for JordanCon

In a clip first released during JordanCon, The Wheel of Time star Rosamund Pike offers an epic reading from Robert Jordan's The Great Hunt.

If you're a fan of author Robert Jordan, then this is definitely the weekend for you. That's because it's JordanCon, the annual science fiction/fantasy literature convention in Atlanta, Georgia, honoring the creator of "The Wheel of Time" universe. With it being about a month out since it was confirmed that filming on the third season of Prime Video & Showrunner/EP Rafe Judkins's Rosamund Pike-starring series had wrapped, we were expecting the streaming series to have a presence. Oh, they did – and in a very cool way. In a clip that was first screened during JordanCon and then released on social media, Pike offers a dramatic reading from Jordan's The Great Hunt that is truly epic.

Here's a look at Pike reading an excerpt from Jordan's novel, first screened earlier today during the special event:

Here's a look back at some of the members of the cast making it official in a video released last month:

Let's not forget the upcoming Kari Skogland (The Falcon and the Winter Soldier, The Walking Dead)-directed feature film prequel, The Age of Legends. With a screenplay from Zack Stentz (Thor, X-Men: First Class), the film is the first in a planned trilogy that will explore how the world represented by Jordan in the author's works came to be. And since everyone's in a good mood, let's look back at some of the best moments not to be lost on the cutting room floor – with Rosamund Pike, Daniel Henney, Madeline Madden, Zoe Robins, Josha Stradowski, Marcus Rutherford, Donal Finn, and more:
