Cliff Curtis as Fire Lord Ozai?

This movie has a strange cast.

Hey, did you know that USM #100 is a homage to...no. No, I'm not finishing that. That joke's been done.

I'm waiting for a trailer before I make full judgements.

Yep

Same here. I feel Avatar is something that should have remained animated. But I'm really interested to see the effects and how Shyamalan does with someone else's story.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie

I approve of Cliff Curtis.

He's obviously an actor who takes his craft very seriously, though I haven't seen him in anything particularly stand out.

Still, anyone who as in Sunshine gets cred in my book, even if I'm willing to admit that that movie was not well, all that.

...You do realize that (assuming the film is fairly faithful to the source material of the first season) he gets about 5 scenes? With his face framed in shadow?

I admit I don't know much about casting, though. Then again, if even I find this cast strange...

As long as he gets more lines than Kal Penn got in Superman Returns, I'm sure he's fine.

The only real good set photo there was the last one. But cool nonetheless.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie

Frank Marshall has revealed a few things via his Twitter. Most notably his comments on the alleged whitewashing of the cast (or lack therof) and confirmation that the teaser trailer will premire with Transformers 2.

A CG Mock-up of the teaser trailer was leaked onto the Internet. While Paramount Pictures pulled it quickly, thee are still some interesting images to be seen:

Awesome, I'm really interested in what it will look like

USA Today has published these first two photos of Noah Ringer as Aang and Dev Patel as Prince Zuko in writer/director M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender. Paramount Pictures will release the big screen adaptation on July 2, 2010

I approve, really can't wait to see the effects

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie

You can't really see Aang's arrow tat though.

It reminds me of clockwork.

And I can't see Zuko's scar, but I'll give them the benefit of the doubt. Again.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie

M. Night Shyamalan is going to have to work hard to make this not be the next Dragonball... because if he doesn't, he is done.

Crap. I didn't even think of that until now.

Oh well. The guy's well enough off to look after his family. And the Highlander Effect isn't as powerful as fenway thinks.

Yeah, but I like how they made a very intricate design

I don't think he has a scar there, my guess is that's a flash back

It definitely will not be as bad as Dragonball, say what you will about his writing but Shyamalan is one damn fine director. Even if his inexperience with cgi/big action films and a bunch of other things just go wrong I think it'll still be watchable. Not as great as the series but not a **** stain like Dragonball

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie

This doesn't look that good.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie

Another shot of Zuko, plus some Fire Nation soldiers.

I like the costumes. I think what they're trying to do with Zuko's scar is use Dev Patel's preexisting scar.

I doubt that's going to work.
