Well, it's time for me to dip into the unofficial thread genre, as I want to generate some hype for the live-action film adaptation of "Avatar: The Last Airbender", the popular anime-inspired show from Nickelodeon.

It will be directed by M. Night Shymalan, and is due for a July 2, 2010 release in theaters worldwide.

From where I see it, the film will begin in Book 1 and Book 2 and 3 should follow.

The confirmed characters (with actors) in the film are:

  • Noah Ringer as Aang, a 12-year-old, though technically 112, "Avatar" whose duty it is to protect the world. He is capable of bending all four elements, though at the beginning of the film he has only learned to airbend. He is fun-loving and carefree and gets distracted with fun which affects his responsibilities.
  • Nicola Peltz as Katara, a 14-year-old and the last remaining waterbender from the Southern Water Tribe. She is Aang's good friend and love interest.
  • Jackson Rathbone as Sokka, a 15-year-old warrior from the Southern Water Tribe and Katara's older brother. (In the series, at least) He can be condescending, but is still considered the leader at times.
  • Dev Patel as Prince Zuko, a 16-year-old prince who travels with his uncle and tries to capture the Avatar in order to regain his honor and position as heir to the Fire Nation throne.
  • Aasif Mandvi as Admiral Zhao, a hot-tempered Fire Nation Commander in pursuit of the Avatar. He is Zuko's principal rival.
  • Shaun Toub as Uncle Iroh, an older man who is extremely easy-going and friendly and often acts as a surrogate father to his nephew, Zuko.
  • Cliff Curtis as Fire Lord Ozai, the leader of the war and the Fire Nation. He is the primary antagonist in the series.
  • Jessica Andres as Suki, a leader of the young female warriors of Kyoshi Island, the Kyoshi Warriors. She is a friend to Aang and one of Sokka's love interests.
  • Seychelle Gabriel as Yue, a princess and the daughter of the Chief of the Northern Water Tribe. She is a friend to Aang and one Sokka's love interests.

The first teaser trailer was attached to the second Transformers film, "Revenge of the Fallen", back in late June:

The latest trailer, set to debut during Super Bowl XLIV, shows an apparent narrative from Avatar Roku telling Aang who is:

My EXPECTATIONS:

I'm not looking for a seedy ripoff of the show just to create big bucks. I want them to make it like the exact thing: Funny where it needs be and pinpoint action, not just a few good punches and bending. I'm expecting good sequels (obviously) if the film does well. I'm expecting the film to be the summer blockbuster fans and other people alike were waiting for since last year.

So what are your thoughts on the film, and will you be watching it later in the year?

I am so glad I know what it's called now, because that "Avatar" thing was KILLING me! I am excited for this. The TV show was amazing.

I love the show on Nickelodeon, but the movie looks like it's going to suck!

I love the show, and can't wait for the movie. Is it really going to be a trilogy, or just the one movie

A trilogy. If the first movie gets poor ratings/reviews, you can forget about the other two!

Stupid James Cameron stealing the most important part of the title for his overrated movie... >: (

I don't think Shymalan will ruin this. His daughter will probably kill him if he does.

Wouldn't box office be more important? A bad movie can get a sequel if It makes enough money, can't it?

Tell that to Uwe Boll for ruining BloodRayne's reputation.
