i've seen this building so many times while driving along the Delaware!!! i never though that inside it would look like it came straight out of the fire nation. whoever found this place for the movie did REALLY good, i kinda wanna go down there right now and check it out in person, but i can't cuz that's trespassing :(
There are two reasons i don't think this movie will not do it for me:
1) Not to sound bitchy...but M.Night Shyamalan? serz... The Genre Does not suit him at all...no offence to anyone but he is more of a thriller suspense director, not a fantasy Anime (Live action) director.
2) Not to seem really racist or nyfing but... there are no asain actors to play the parts??? wtf? Anime = Asian! , but not to seem absolutely racist at all, i will give u two examples of Live action anime that included Asians that were a hit!: Death Note! and Initial D!
Sorry if i made anyone angry, just stating my opinion
no, i thin the fire nation should have been asian, they had the asian look, and zoko's eyes were not big like aing's. he had asian eyes. i could tell them apart by race. unlike anime where all the characters have the same eyes. you can tell american from japanese. i think this movie will do good.
your opinion is not well thought out. yeah it's your opinion, but it has no bases. you have no idea what you are talking about. it's not an anime, it was made in america. and animes are not all about asians. and avatar wasn't even in asian, it was in another world. not our world. the fire nation is fake. you have to do reseach before you can speak your opinion so you sound like you know what you are talking about. otherwise you re jsut talking out your ass like a retard
Sorry to tell you this, but it is an anime. Our, actually yours and all the other people who don't know what it is, definition of the word is different. Anime means cartoons, that's its definition.
Avatar was based off of different groups of people. It included the whole world and different types, so yes, it was somewhat Asian. The different races in Avatar were based of off different races in the real world. Same goes for the fighting styles that were used.
@animeluver01 OK, Can you name all the fighting styles in Avatar? Ba Gua, Tai Chi, North Shaolin Kung Fu, Hung Gar, Chu Gar Praying Mantis. The sword style that Sokka used was even Chinese. Granted, he did use a boomerang, which was Australian (aboriginal).
@pawoon No, I cannot. I remember hearing the names at least once because of a few interviews. Though, what does that question have to do with anything I've said before?
@animeluver01 You said, "The different races in Avatar were based of off different races in the real world. Same goes for the fighting styles that were used." The fighting styles are all Chinese. I think the Kyoshi warriors used Jui-jitsu (sp)
@pawoon I know...and I know the fighting styles are based off of real fighting styles. I already said I did one comment ago, I just didn't remember the specific names.
Anime does NOT equal Asian. It really doesn't. Do you know what anime means? It's the Japanese word for cartoon.
That's because they were made in Japan. This was made in America. There is a larger amount of non-Asian actors for us here; easier to find a cast, plus many of the Asian actors from their country are not fluent speakers of English.
moron. that's all i have to say. you don't know what you're talking about. you can keep voicing your opinions but i can tell you you have no idea what you are talking about
jst sayin cuz most anime movies (regardless where they came from) have asain ppl as the actors... and even if the thing is not real some animes don't have that real worldy essence too but it's still cast with asian actors (live action movies) eg. death note...and i think now that they should have done it anime style...not live action...*sigs anyway i didn't mean to make anyone angry so yer (^w^)y
i don't understand why people are pissed off about race when it comes to avatar. Does no one notice that in the show they don't look asian at all. The only thing that is asian are the clothes they are wearing and the setting of the show. And for god sakes people IT'S JUST A MOVIE!
THANK YOU! Finally, I can't believe those retarded protesters... ITS A FUCKING MOVIE! WHO GIVES A SHIT! Its just like Tropic Thunder... A white guy looked like a black guy...
haha i know the cartoon is based off asain themes it doesnt mean the characters are asian and even if they were its retarded to protest its a movie geezz some people need to get a life
The casting doesn't make sense. Why is there barely any oriental playing these characters. The fire nation is mostly Indian and Aang is white. Come on! It's so unrealistic. Picture a cowboy being played by some Asian dude or Wolverine being played by a black guy. They have to keep it real. I'm beginning to think that since the director is Indian, he could have played a roll on why they have so many Indian. Dont you think that's prejudice?
i for one would rather see a movie with people that dont look exactly like the characters that have good acting than a bunch of asians look alikes that cant act for shit
they're filming it now, so he's the right age when he's being filmed, a year from now, when the movie is released, he'd probably look different at the previews when they release it.
Ok, the movies i think are gonna be split up like the books. water first(now), then according to an interview i saw, in 2 years it's earth, then 2 years after that is fire. :D thats like the harrypotter thing goin on!!
I love the music for these set location photos. It's absolutely beautiful. And it really ads to the pictures you see. I agree with the people who are saying Zuko's ship or any of the Fire nations. And if you add dark, dimly lit lighting to those areas with the pipework and catwalks with the occasional steam, you've got yourself what a real inside of what I fire nation ship would look like. Imagine what it would feel like to be lost in that place for the first time. Yesh Paranoia to the extreme.
I think it's Zuko's ship because....as far as I know, this movie will cover up the first bool of the series, and the big drill appeared in book two, while the factory from the painted lady episode was in book 3 AFAIK, not to mention that episode was kind of a filler and I doubt they would show that part in the movie because it didn't have so much importance at all.
Some of that really looks like a factory, so I'm not sure what it's from of the first book. But then some of it looks like it could be the innards of a ship. Maybe the old booby trapped one near Katara's village?
From what I've seen in the trailer and these photos, the film is looking better than what I expected. Can't wait till next summer. It'll be worth just going to see if nothing else. But I secretly am expecting it to be epic now =)
A: how would this be the drill, there only filming movie 1.
B: They're not going to dicard the drill because that would leave a huge gap in the story of avatar. Important things happen in that episode and they use it for evidence against long feng later.
So this is most likely Harus's prison or a fire nation ship possibly Zuko's or maybe even one they will use for the siege of the North
i think they`re making the animation into a live action movie...i also think i read something about a trilogy ...there are three books so it would make sense =]
It realy looks like the inside of the ship on the storm when they told zuko story i wonder if they are going to show that part in the movie the should because zuko story is really interesting
It can't be the drill because that's season two but the more I watch it the more it gives me the feel of the northern air temple? With how the mechanic has changed it? Just a few of the scenes but nonethe less I do feel the way.
Yeah, I think, like SokkaSwordsman94 said, that they'll most likely use it for the interior part of the Drill or a ship.Either way, there are plenty other scenes in Season 1 where they're inside a ship... hopefully M. Night Shyamalan won't limit his traveling and move around to fit Avatar's various settings.
hopefully the drill never comes into any movie. and its not in this movie it would be in the second movie. and dont worry about shyamalan, hes going allover the world for these movies.
That place actually looks pretty cool! I wonder what episode they'll use it for. Maybe the Drill... I hope they do, because the setting looks suitable for that episode. They're not using the outside of the building, are they?
yeah what Kildiazar said, and the drill is a shit piss story element Shyamalan would be wise to discard. but a little bit in defense of Sokkaswordsman they could possibly be filming scenes from the second movie as well, although i highly doubt it because he hasnt even began writing it yet. also the area does look a lot like the drill interior would. but again the drill should not be in the story
i've seen this building so many times while driving along the Delaware!!! i never though that inside it would look like it came straight out of the fire nation. whoever found this place for the movie did REALLY good, i kinda wanna go down there right now and check it out in person, but i can't cuz that's trespassing :(
