(Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Sadly the movie can't be called Avatar due to the James Cameron movie. Anyhow, it doesn't show much, and curious if this will be a trilogy or are they gonna try and squeeze everyting in.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

I saw this during the previews before Transformers. Looks interesting. I was pretty skeptical when I first heard about M. Night Shyamalan making the film, but I have to admit that the trailer looks kinda cool. I'll be keeping an eye on it.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

I wonder what the twist ending is going to be.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Wow, he's so strong, he can blow out a few candles! :rolleyes:
Rest looks good.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

The arrow tattoo sucks...it's barely visible.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Wait, that is what this one's about, right?

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Well the cartoon was boss, here's hoping for a good adaptation. M. Night is a pretty awesome director actually, not so much a good writer/storyteller, at least not after his first two films. Artistically though, this guy knows his shit, and since the story's already written, we don't have to worry about some bullcrap twist that he's become notorious for.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

The Village has so much atmosphere, I rewatched it just for that.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Just finished watching the series. Such a brilliant show. Curious to see how it'll be handled in live action film form. So far the actors don't resemble the characters...aside from Aang in the trailer, but we shall see.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Sweet element bending action. Can't wait. :D

And you can see Appa (the sky bison) 9 seconds in, upper left hand corner. Looks just like him. And Aang going into the Avatar state (gah, now that word leaves a nasty taste in my mouth.)

*fangasm*

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

So, is Toph gonna be in this movie? Because we strangely haven't seen anything of that character, yet.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Wheres Momo!?

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

They're turning each season of the show into a movie so we won't see her until the second one.

Ooh, I forgot about him.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Looks better than I expected. :)

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

I'm a little shocked how it looks but I'm still not convinced. Everything Night touches turns to trash nowadays. I certainly hope they only do one season per movie.

Oh... and I hope they don't Dragonball Z it up and make everyone white.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Yeah...about that...

You should check out the IMDb board for this movie. Outrage over the casting. A lot of white folk (the three main kids, though Aang at least still looks like he did in the toon) and the fire nation is Indian.

There's even this site http://www.racebending.com/v3/ getting folks to boycott the movie.

And

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

If there is one thing the internet has shown me in the past year is they can't boycott crap.

They boycotted MW 2 and it is the biggest launching game in history.
They boycotted L4D 2 and it is doing much better than the original.

They are boycotting Jay Leno and believe his ratings are staying constant, etc.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

The casting for Katara and Sokka does look terrible, like really terrible. I have a feeling Sokka will not be funny at all.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Yup. Those two bother me the most. The guy playing Sokka was in the Twilight movies so you know he's there to cater to the tween girls. I don't get the actress playing Katara. She hasn't been in much and is as whitebread as someone can look. It's almost like the person in charge of casting was looking at the actual voice actors rather than the cartoon for reference.

Speaking of Sokka not being funny: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/43869

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

If I could bend air girls would fear to wear skirts.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Hm I always thought the series was like this:

Fire - Japan
Wind - India
Earth - China
Water - Innuit

But I guess that was too hard to cast...

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

I definitely see all that except the the wind. I always thought the Airbenders reminded me of my roommate. He was Thai. ESPECIALLY with the heavy Buddhist garb and influence.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Interesting. I feel like I'm going to trust the more positive viewpoint. It seemed a little more like the guy was walking away with a little more solid footing but the other guy sounded like a typical internet ranter.

But I definitely think that Sokka is gonna suck. Maybe they can get the animated guy do the voice over. It took quite a talent to make some of those jokes work...

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Here's what I don't get. If they were going to go with actors that didn't look like the characters why not just use the original voice actors? They'd at least act and sound exactly the same. Though I do like Noah Ringer for Aaang, and that particular character needs to know how to fight. And Dante Basco (Zuko) is a bit too old...though he does look young for 34.

Sokka


Katara


Aang


Zuko

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Voice acting and screen acting are very different. What may work vocally over cartoon may, and probably doesn't, work alongside the real actors. Not to mention, you have an opportunity to but faces that people recognize in the parts.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Momo!

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

How does a trailer sound to everyone?

Well even if you don't want it!

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

I hope this movie isn't completely devoid of comedy.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Soldier: Look a flying buffalo!
Warden: What was that?
Soldier: A flying bison was carrying an empty basket.
Warden: Well which one is it?
Soldier: Sir?
Warden: Was it a bison or a buffalo?
Soldier: Uh, sir, I'm not sure I know what the difference is, but that's not the point!
Warden: I'll show you what's important! (tosses him over board) Wake the Captain!
Other soldier: Uh, sir, that was the captain...

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Gee guys in the trailer, why so serious?

I guess I'll have to watch the series again in a while.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

I think they are worried that if they start putting a lot of comedy in, then people will bill it as a comedy instead of a fantasy epic.

However, we also know how funny M. Night's movies have been.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

I can understand that there wouldn't be comedy in the trailers, wouldn't make sense to market it like that. I definitely do not like the look of Katara from that trailer, but yeah we'll see.

Have we seen Iroh yet? I have a feeling he's gonna be all wise and serious like Master Roshi was in that awful Dragon Ball movie, instead of wise and hilariously awesome like he should be.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Iroh was next to Zuko telling him that his destiny is tied with Aang's. He's also the one shooting a lot of fire from both hands.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

I was talking to my friend about this trailer. She was the one that got me into it. While we both agreed that the trailers are OBVIOUSLY going to veer towards the epic then the funny, she read in an interview that M. Night said that he wanted to make the movie more serious then the cartoon series. Also, according to her, when she found out about it, on the IMDB page, it had M. Night's name along with some writers from the cartoon as the writers, but then after M. Night gave that interview, the other writer's names MYSTERIOUSLY DISAPPEARED!! Ooooooo!

Be prepared for something more on the side of Narnia then Lord of the Rings.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

I wonder who plays as Yue, or Roku, or Azula or the Moon Spirit!

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0938283/

It's all there, my friend. Actually, you see some of those in the trailer. At least I think we're seeing Yue.

Not Roku though, not yet.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Japanese trailer:

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Whos that random monk?
That better not be Monk Giatso.
There shouldnt even be any other monks.

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Final Trailer, I'd imagine

Re: (Avatar) The Last Airbender Teaser
 

Forgot about the weird wacky animals. Still no Momo. :(
