  • thumbs up if u think in the movie the princess from the northern water tribe was hot

  • HATE THE MOVIE LOVE THE SHOW BETTER

  • One thing to say about the movie.

    It absolutely bastardized the show; this isn't me trolling, this is the truth.

  • YOU DONT KNOW HOW LONG THEY WORKED ON THE LAST AIRBENDER i gona tell how long SOME OF YOU WIL NOT BELEAVE THIS but 6 years long

  • Im glad everyone is bitching about the characters ethnicities not being right i thought i was the only one. Guys please dont go see this movie let it tank so that america will stop being racist with the portrayal of characters ethnicities in movies. Dont go see it and let the movie be a flop to teach them there lesson.

  • @hinorashito To all those people who think the movie was racist..... the director himself was of the same colour as the villians in the movie. He felt that if he cast the good guys as dark skinned and the bad guys as light skinned, HE would be racist, because he is dark skinned....... so he "played it safe", I guess.... -_-

  • 6 DAYS TO BAD TOPHS NOT IN IT :(

  • it sucks!!! They look gay!!

    Like Zuko supposed to be real sexy and evil... now he just seem to be ugly and gay -__-'

    And where did his scar go? Didn't see it yet...

    Evanescence is nice btw :)

  • dont whine about the cast.

    Make-up FTW :P

    i'm very eager to see this movie

  • Comment removed

  • i bet it wont be anything like da realy show...

    like da trailers like "THE CHOSEN ONE"

    dat fking ruined it

  • if you go to the official site and check out the latest trailer you'll see that it plays out almost perfectly like a snap shot of the first season of the animated season it looks flepping awesome

  • the best fight movie

  • zuko whont have a scar in the movie and the actor playing him is stupid D:

  • isnt the actor that indian guy on slumdog millionar??! D:<

  • ... there are many Indian guys in that movie.

    But he's the main one. Yeah.

  • that sucks monkey nutts

  • I'm not sayin its racist not havin asian in it but would it be nice to have some asian in an anime cartoon based movie lol. But if u watch the series pay attention how the characters look, culture, clothing, and the buildings. They are alot asian-ish lol. Theres a clebration in one episode with a chinese lung in it and it reminds me of chinese new year

  • The series is based on East and West. If you have seen the characters you will notice they are not Asian, except Zuko, who is played by Dev, who IS asian. Check the map. India is in Asia. So there is no reason for the other actors to be Asian. Green eyed Aang is obviously not meant top be Asian, nor are blue eyes Katara and Sakka. But objecting to an actor because he is Indian or White is racist. So maybe its best to stop making racist comments.

  • @lollipopfop the story is based on Chinese culture, not East and West in general. The co-creators of the show said this themselves.

  • crap, can you cite your source! i really wanna shove it in white supremacists face.

    don't watch this movie unless you support racism!

  • It was in an interview. I dont have a link to the direct video but on imdb(.)com there is a thread started by thegooddoctor (or someone like that) and he has all the sources.

  • Folks seriously most of you need a pill. This is a movie. Who gives a flying flip who plays the characters. I watch movies for story lines and 'good' actors. Good doesn't necessarily mean popular. As for the asian thing, again it is a movie of make believe nations. Which mean they aren't asian, idian, american or anything else. Get over yourselves!!

  • no but kitara and sokka are tan in the cartoons but they are played by white actors in the movie, why couldn't they cast someone who was latino, black, hawaiian, indian,etc. racism is a big deal in movies. My drama teacher complains that the actors who played the Spartans in 300 didn't look Greek but the actors who played the Persians had to looked Persian. what's up with that? Sure Avatar is a

  • made up world but what they are doing is contributing to the discrimination. Or maybe im wrong and most of the asian people are wusses who keep complaining about Aang or Goku not being asians but not really doing anything about it, like audition for the roles.

  • you must be in elementary school. There is no discrimination, to even suggest it is to say you have a childish whining feel sorry for myself, the world is against me mentality.

  • I think its rather foolish and downright ignorant to say that 'racism is a big deal in movies' LOL Forbes lists Will Smith as the highest paid actor, Oprah has been named to both Time and Esquire's most influential people in the world. I could go on but there's no point

  • Comment removed

  • lol wow lots of ragen asains here. dude eath nation n some fire nation were the only people who lookd asain get over it. not my falt u got dealt a tiny dick lmao

    btw wtf is it wit the slum dog kid playing zuko?

  • well dont like this movie played by whites? make it in ur own country with ur own native ppl..

  • And you had to make a video about this?

  • i cant wait til it comes out!

  • evanescence sucks

  • I think we can all safely say that this movie won't be as bad as Dragon ball. And for all the people bitching about the actor choices... please don't hate. Make-up goes a long way, and in the acting biz you always pick a better actor over an actor with the same or similar color of the character, ACTING COMES FIRST!

    And with that I think The avatar movie will be at least 3 out of 5 material. They have the basics down so far... but they only teased us which I hate... I LOATHE U TEASERS!

  • No, they did not choose the best actors. For the main protagonists, they had two separate lines for auditions: one marked "Caucasian" and one marked "others". By doing that, they had no intention of casting anyone who wasn't white.

  • ... First off, where is your proof. That's a pretty big statement to be making. Second, M. Night hasn't been made to make BAD ACTING decisons most of the time, (though he does make some for minor character roles).

    Also, let me say this... AANG IS BLACK! Does he look black... no... then again, he's an air NOMAD! Which isn't a country like the others, also if the air nomads are a certian race, then why is the guru clearly dark skined/indian. SKIN DOES NOT MATTER! It's almost like your racist.

  • Proof? Go to racebending. com.

    Also, you shouldn't be calling me racist; instead, you should call the producers racist for replacing the Chinese calligraphy with some jibberish language. They're racist by destroying every aspect of Asian culture in an ASIAN-fantasy-based fiction.

  • Asian? Don't you mean Inuiet? What about the water tribe? Also, there are only so many screenshots, you can't truly say that they are taking out everything. I have only seen so many, I have seen aang, and he don't look half bad. And the reason it is asian based is because the creators are Otakus which is what I am at heart, as well as an actor. And I feel really offended that just because of my skin, I can't play a role. I'll check out this whole auditon racsism and see if it isn't false.

  • Doesn't matter what race they actually are in relations to the real world.

    The fact is that the setting of Avatar is an Asian-based WORLD, so even though the Water Tribe are Inuits, they would technically still be Asian (even if half/Inuit-Asian I guess) in the avatar world.

    Even if that race doesn't make sense, its a fantasy-type of show, it doesn't have to make sense... just like the chimera animals in the series.

  • Good Point! A fantasy series, like... perhaps the "chinese calrgraphy" you constantly mention could be a fantasy language that resembles Chinese symbols. It's the same with chinese and Vietnamese, it's similar but not the same.

    Also, I took a look at your "proof". First article I saw was comparing Aang with an asian version and an american version. In all simple fact, if the characters aren't by profile "japanese" "Chinese" or "american" then they are from another world. So knock it off.

  • Whatever you say, you white supremacist. If not, you're more like another race trying to be white.

  • Look, I really don't like fan wars. REALLY! I would rather talk about, why I think Toph should have gotten an episdoe with Zuko or, Why Iroh is such an awesome character, but... this isn't the case. This isn't a problem with japanese live actions because they only have japanese actors do it. This is america, land of entergration and mix. And white is just another race that should be cast for roles. Same as asian or black.Also Zhao is played by an guy from India, so please don't think it's rasict

  • In an Asian-fantasy world, NONE of the main protagonists are Asian... If that's not racism, I don't know what is.

  • really? never saw Zhao.also it was a cartoon so we dont REALY know what they look lke..they might have just nothad enough colors lol.but isnt it made in japan too? they might look different ver there for all we know.besides if the movie is awesome thats good enough.i just hope the put some of the bending techniques into it instead of just some puting blowing fire out of their hands.

  • Orly? They have a japanese version of Avatar, do you have any sources that sounds interesting! And yeah the bending techniques sounds great, one thing is they don't really give to many names to their techs. Yknow. The one confusing thing to me is if they are starting from the begining of the story or if this is a new story, a fan story so to speak. Cause, Zuko's hair is not in his pansy little bun.

  • idc of how they gona make it but saka better b kool n captain iro better b kool 2 sho...

  • can they really film a whole book, 8 hours of book 1 in just 2:30 min max?

  • i saw an interview (actually i believe its on the season 2 box set, special features disk) and shyamalan was sayin that he had to take A LOT out and wait to add things or show some people later... so who knows wat is to be expected??? i just hope/know that the movie will be great! :D

  • i wonder if they are going to make the animals look like the ones that are in the series like upa and momoe if they do the movie is going to be great.

  • I hope they won't destroy the movie too much because the choices of the actors are already terrible. And I hope they won't change anything about the story. -_- I think the anime/cartoon/show/whatever it is would also kinda suffer from that.

  • thanks for the info

  • but it is it will be produced together with mike and bryan(co-creators of avatar),so it might be decent

  • comeso ut next summer.. i've seen tha preview

  • i think they will pull it off too

  • Castings gay. Just a heads up.

  • DBZ was bull shit. I've watched that show since i was five. it pissed me off that they turned it into crap. but that just my opinion.

    ATLA is gonna be cool. I saw the trailer like five min. ago.

  • I just hope whoever gets to play Toph is ripped because that's how Toph is. I don't care about the 'race' of the actors. I still will go to the movie.

  • well the trailer of Avatar is atleast already better than the ENTIRE dragonball evolution movie, seriously you cant get any more wrong than that movie.

  • I like avatar just as a cartoon, If the movie is just a load a crap, it would totally RUIN the series

  • Yes, you are SO right. If some jerk makes a crap movie, the series is ruined and from there on, a bad show. I see your logic.

    That was sarcasm by the way.

    I'll like Avatar even if it is a crap movie. Personally I think they'll pull it off.

  • i agree,how could it ruin the series??

    xD

  • shyamalan is making the movie with the creators of the show. or they are atleast helping him and checking things.

    plus its a trilogy so it will be just like the show with the 3 books/seasons.

  • I love avatar just as an animated serie... the way how evrything is animated is truely amazing...

    so, a live action... I think it would truely ruin the film... no offence

  • Bring it on Dark, gloom and doom, death, blood, triumph, struggle, despair, joy, pain, no BS actors, good score, Rated-R etc, etc,.........I cannot wait!!!

  • they better not f it up

  • hopefully they won`t ruin this 1, avatar is a great show! and to all of u who don`t want it to be live action, i believe they are either at boot camp or already filming

  • ya lots of people dont want it to turn out like DBZ and im with them lol i really love this show and dont want it to be ruined

  • they would have to make it really dark and creepy for it to be good not a kids movie

  • Hopefully it aint another DBZ, and also they better get the characters right.

  • The casting is pretty bad tbh. I think this movie is going to be shit. I would love it not to be.

  • This will probably be coo, just ne problem: Aang will probably look weird due to the tatoos.

  • Please, Avatar is great, please don't make it into a live action film.

  • no live action! they already fucked up DBZ not avatar!

  • dude this is gonna be one movie to cover the entire series! they should have made a movie for each season!

  • Guys chill the fuck out. If you've watched the interviews M. Night Shymalan is a devoted fan of Avatar and so is his family. Plus he is working with Mike and Bryan (the creators of Avatar) Very closely. They are going to be on the set with him. They've been giving him ideas, so there isn't much he can do wrong. And the whole race thing, Avatar is a fictional world who is to say Aang is Asian, or Zuko is this. So judge the movie when it comes out. Jesus!!

  • Fuck.... they shuld keep it in cartoon from the artwork was amazing in the series...

  • whats this movie gonna be about anyways?

  • There is going to be 3 movies produced, each movie is based off the 3 books (or seasons) of Avatar.

  • ...the avatar?

  • the whole series of avatar

  • The filmed part of it in Reading PA already

  • well it is gonna happen and i its this year

  • @hiac did you like I loved it 

  • @Kataang102 oh i loved cant wait for the next film

  • DOes it really matter? as long as it's a good movie, who give's a dam what ethnicity they are, am I right. I mean I'm white, but i dont care if Katara is black in the movie, as long as the actor is deacent

  • I LOVE THE PIC! :)

  • *is Giddy with excitment* I can't wait!

    I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait! I can't wait!

  • this has potential as a decent film =/ the series was great my only fear is that they will get white people soka and kitara

  • so, urm... thats kinda racist and it is an american show, sure they might have darker skin but still. oh and white people are playing them

  • see i see it deffrently -_- i find it racist for people to cast people as a race that they arnt. like they dont think they can find a good enough actor/actress of the corect race so they just cast a white guy/girl instead

  • well, if they purposly don't look for omeone of that race then it is racist, but the director isn't carcausian so he can't b racist casting carcausian people, although i do think patel suits solla better, but there is no point in arguing so much about it becase in blood the last vampire,its a japaese show so an asian plays blood, no complaining there.

  • Please check out and comment my videos. I'm working on becoming involved with the second film in The Last Airbender trilogy. Thanks everyone!

    -Leah B.

  • i dont believe that ppl should care what race plays who we are all the same were just humans living in a shared planet where all of us should share what we have for the time we have it

  • tell that to hollywood

    it doesnt erase the fact theat minorities get denied jobs in hollywood because they "wont sell"

    including this movie....

  • Please view/comment Leah's Ty Lee monologue and support her goal of becoming involved with the Last Airbender films. Thanks!

  • Why do all the actors have to be Asian? none of the charictors in avatar look asian, to me at least. I mean, zuko's nose, katara's blue eyes, aang got eyes twice as big as his head! lol. im fine w/ asian actors, but why do they have to be?

  • Actually, only Dev Petel is asain, the others are white I believe. :)

  • i know, but people are goin crazy about it! i mean, why cant white people play them? i dont know why people get all upset over it...

  • We'll have to face it, every fan base has one or two nitpicky fans. XD

  • because its asian influenced....

    ur judging them because of blue eyes nose and large eyes?

    there are many asians that have zuko's type of nose and physique and appearance and culture.

    Have you seen indian people? they sometimes have blue eyes, but they have blue eyes because its to mark their a waterbender, its like your saying..

    Zuko is white because he has gold eyes.

    Aang can pass of as a caucasian actor but they eyes is drawn in anime form every anime uses the big eye style.

  • but the world of avatar is made up, so the fact the show is asian influenced dosen't mean that they have to be asian, or indian.

  • you said it..

    they dont have to be white but they can be...

    the point is they all are...

    but they will only actually move if fans get angry...

    its fantasy it doesnt mean the default should be white...

    and also for 2 characters like Katara and Sokka who are dark skinned...why is the 2 palest actors portraying them?

    a minority can easily portray and look like them as well...they are unknowns just like every minority out there =]

  • I dont really care also if they were white...

    but I care that hollywood actually denies jobs to minorites...even for movies like this...

    for a show that is so OBVIOUS that a minority can play it too, they still cast a white actor

    and whitewash it like any other movie...

    basically "Asians" will be the background

    in a world thats borrowed from their culture

    and you have the white heroes saving them

    =]

    like any other movie

  • oh well, I can see why people are upset about, but a don't think people should get so mad about it. Hopefully, they can make the actors look more like the charictors, though.

  • It shouldnt happen in the first place....

    and thank you for empathizing =]

    I just hope nothing like this happens again....

    and that if people boycott maybe Some points will get across, because thats just ridiculous...

  • you gotta come up with more logic than your recent proofs that their white because honestly those were just stupid.

  • they dont have to be white, im just saying that they could be. Frankly, i dont care as long as the actors resemble some-what to the charictors, and can act.

  • AHA!! jesse McCartney doesnt look anything like zuko hes crap!

  • well..i was really excited about the live action movie...until they announced the casts..

    they chose all white actors to play the main characters...how disappointing...

    they're just gonna ruin avatar..i mean who thought that jesse mccartney's gonna act as zuko??? he doesn't even look like zuko nor does he look asian...

    [just an opinion]

  • Now dev patel, from slumdog milionair, is going 2 act as Zuko.

  • who u sayin fuck you to u spider fucker! go fuck your insects! bitch!

  • fuck you, we all knew there was a live action movie and we expected you found some info about it. not some "enjoy the song" message.

  • i dont think that a live action movie would work I would rather see it cartoon like the others a live action would look all fake and crummy

  • well maybe theyre gonna have lots of special effects in the movie just like narnia :) you know, how they made the lion so real, stuff like that

  • it could look good but they would have to get everything perfect

  • Your lieng

    There cant be a next saga in the avatar series they beated firelord ozai..

    Unless theirs a new enemy even stronger then ozai..

  • 'Jesse McCartney will play the Fire Nations evil prince Zuko.' x3 I thought that was funny.

    Jackson Rathbone: Sokka

    Nicola Peltz: Katara

  • whats the name of the song?

  • the name is Lost by the band called avenged sevenfold

  • there will be a movie ppl it'll just be named "the last airbender" not avatar, i wish that they wouldn't make this into a live action film though... anime movies are meant to be just that, anime, nothing more (however the show isn't real anime as it was made an the us)

  • Actually it is anime. Anime is just a short Japanese pronunciation of animation.

  • so spongebob and family guy are anime too

    they also were wrote by avator's creators and drawn in korean animation studios just like avatar. They are both animation

  • Anime is a STYLE of animation. It can be made anywhere and still be considered anime.

    It originated in Japan though, which is why it has the Engrish name that it does.

  • No it's not. Anime is Japanese animation made by Japanese artists and organized by the Japanese. People make this mistake all the time but Avatar is NOT Anime. It is a Chinese based show created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and is an American media franchise. Although it has a great Asian influence (the creators were influenced by many Anime) and uses a similar color palette, it is not Anime. But the closest and best thing America has done to getting to Anime.

  • Actually it was animated by koreans :)

  • (Just understand that Avatar isn't Anime...)

  • I always just called things that strongly used the Anime style Anime. This includes Teen Titans, The Boondocks and similar shows. I just call them "American Anime".

  • the avatar movie in 2010 is not the same avatar on nick its called avatar but its about something else

  • There will be an Avatar: The last Airbender movie, directed by M. Night Shyamalan.

  • 3 Movies ^^

  • yeah right, 3 movies... and as far as i know they'll be named like the tv show: book 1 - water, book 2 and so on...

  • i hate to break it to you

    but my moms company is sponsoring the movie

    and it has nothing to do with the avatar we all know and love

  • true

  • Tell your mom to FIX IT.

    :*(

    plz?

  • I can't wait for the movie ^^

  • It is set for release on July 2, 2010,Filming will begin in Philadelphia in May 2009

  • Im like a 100% sure none of the jonas brothers will b in this movie because the director said the cast will be unknown kids

  • its ok

  • jonas brothers are shit

  • ya they are! Me and my sis were watching TV and she wasn't looking when a song of thier's came on, so she ask me "what ugly lady is singing now?" no joke!

  • lol!!!!!!!

  • Guys...I heard that they're casting one of the jonas brothers as Zuko!!!!!!!!!!!ZUKO!!!!!!!!!!!­!!! Now, I think they're cast Joe but OMG they really are making a mistake!!!!!!We know that Joe cannot connect to Zuko's charecter at ALL!!!!!!!!!!!

  • That's completely insane!!! Aren't they from disney???

  • Yeah! If he's on there and makes a fool of Zuko I betcha there's gonna be like 10,000000000000 angry fan letters to the director and the Jonas Bros! But for some reasom, I still love Nick! Sorry, My inner fangirl comes out occasionally.

  • If they do that, they're going to be attacked by angry Zuko fangirls or all the Avatar fangirls of the world!!!! I'll join them too!

  • what shit if zuko was one of the jonas brothers. zuko is the best. and the jonas brothers are shit.

  • i am so happy right now^_____^finally i am so watching the movie^_^

  • They should also use alot of China :D alot of East Asian areas have really nice places to match the show's settings, like the hills of Wu Long forest(book 3 last episode where Ozai battles Aang), theres alot of places like that in China, the mountains and everything in china should be like the air nomad areas

  • live action movie? SWEET!!!

  • i rather have a book 4 instead of a stupid action movie( btw the creators are making a book 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- searched it up they start on the 17th or something-they decided do in 2005-no joke) !!!!!!!!!!

  • Oh, I sssooooo want to be Azula!!! I look like her and can even copy her voice! At this very moment I'm wearing my bangs in the azula style. I was just growing them out to get into my ponytail until I realized they look just like her bangs. So I'm keeping them at this length since I'm being her for halloween. I am definently Azula's #1 fan. I can even quote almost everything she says! Woot! Anyone know where and when the auditions are?

  • Do you really reckon, the person who is gunna play aang and zuko will shave their hair off. I praise you for wanna be in it but its going to be rubbish

  • Of course they will. They will have to. Hair grows back. And I still believe that if they cast it right they could make it great. Or it could be destroyed. I guess we'll have to wait to find out.

  • i SERIOUSLY wanna be a character. but theres no way....

  • I LOVE THIS SONG!!! xD

  • i HATE there is coming a live action movie... the cartoon is so cool... i rather see more seasons than a live action movie.... it will ruin the caracters... and everything.... Dragonball Z is never gon live... and Naruto... pokemon.... so whay ruin this serie by going live..... it's the badest mistake EVER....

  • i know right! it'll totally ruin all the characters!

  • there is indeed a dragonball live movie to be released late this year.

  • A live movie won't be so good. What actor in the world can have Aang's big eyes?

  • What person in the world has the big eyes of any anime character?

    Well, Avatar's an Amerime (thank you, magmabear!), but you know what I mean =D

  • Yeah. I have a question but its not related to avatar. Do you know anyone who has uploaded the whole episodes of skyland???

  • I'm scared for the film, because the series were so good, that for me a live-action film would only ruin my idea of avatar being perfect, I mean, it'd be a bit weird if everybody was lip-syncing and probably the actors don't really look like the characters from the anime (sorry, I meant amerime:P). Maybe it'll turn out good (god, I sure hope so!) but I don't think so. Btw, does anyone agree that Toph looks well..umm.. weird in this picture?

  • i do

  • lol toph looks on crack

  • I hope they redub the actor's voices...I don't think Dante Basco looks like Zuko at all. This is going to be a tricky project--everybody has their own portrayl of the characters, which is why I think it's so great in animation-people get to decide for themselves what the cast looks like in real life. This movie might ruin the series. I hope for the best, but I'm terrified lol.

  • i hope like always good Actors for the movie because sometimes the movie stuff is good but its the actors.

  • Maybe since Avatar is made in America in an Anime style... it should be called Amerime (copyright Magmabear)

  • magmabear:

    Thats genius. Amerime.

    Totally love it lol

  • Hey, thanks!

  • toph looks cool, shes like pure evil!

  • write down avatar live action interiew on youtube

  • I don't know if m. night should do it because some stories can only be told through anime or cartoon whatever you want to consider it. I think that he should just leave it alone so it can remain one of the greatest shows. I just don't think there is any way to do it justice with a live action version.

  • O-m-g! Big secret!

    The creators of Avatar [DiMartino and Konietzko] are American!!!

    M. Night Shyamalan is American!!!

    Avatar; The Last Airbender was made in America!

    Proving that there is no way in hell that Avatar is an Anime.

    And don't say it should be all Asian cast.

    Because the truth of the matter is there is no Asian with blue eyes, tan [almost indian] skin, and dark brown hair.

  • Well, technically, there has to be quite a lot of Asians in it since the whole fire nation looks about as Asian as you can get.

    Then again, the setting is basically the whole AtLAB world, so the ethnicity is going to be varied. I'm actually more worried they won't be able to find enough ethnic people to play the numerous cultures in the story.

  • I'm worried about that, too. =(

    But I have to disagree with you on the FN part: They really don't look very Asian. In fact, very few of the characters actually look Asian (this includes extras and supporting characters). I mean, yeah, they have black hair and the culture is obviously taken from ancient China and Japan, but look at their facial features (not just the eyes). Not very Asian...

    But that's not saying most of the cast shouldn't be Asian!

    And what do you mean by "ethnic people"?
