Welcome to Gaia! ::

so I'm not sure if there is already a topic about this, because im too lazy to check all of them, but there is going to be an avatar live action movie coming out!!!!

i am super pumped for it. if you want to watch a trailer thingy here's the link to the first one. there are twelve and they are all 50 seconds long:

i hope i'm not the only one who's excited to see how it turns out.

I'm so excited. biggrin I love M. Night, and I love that he's a fan of the series. It means that he's actually doing this for the fans, and not for the money.

I am excited over this too smile , but I am scared too because I don't know how well he will find people to play the characters. Because he'll need some great children actors. Like to Aang and Toph especially.
I hope that he doesn't make the characters too old, I think a charm of Avatar is that it's about children. I really would have wanted to see the shots of his live action movie during that interview sad .
I really hope that it doesn't turn into a sort of Harry Potter flick where the children actors grow up too fast for the filming, and I also hope that they find children actors WHICH CAN ACT (unlike the child actors in Harry Potter >.>).

But I really hope it'll resemble the anime smile (I say anime because it's a source of the animation inspiration, and I've always seen it as an English Anime biggrin ). Like the live action of Nana, which was awesome biggrin . But I hope it's not Power Ranger like similar to the live action of Sailor Moon >.> (tried to watch it, but it just makes me think of Power Rangers crying ).

i really dont think he's going to mess it up. he's cowriting/directing it with the two writers of avatar, so i think he's going to keep everything accurate, except he might cut some stuff out because its alot to put into a 2 hr movie.

Well u can't exactly stop them from growing either! And there is no screenshots to put in there cus' they haven't even finished writing it! But he did do stuart little.....if that counts for anything? But he better make this a good trilogy or he'll recieve some serious hurt from ALL the avatar fans!
I also heard there is a dispute about the movie title cus' there is another movie coming out called avatar.....not related of course!

oh my god! I had no idea this was coming out! thank you so much for telling us^_^

Oh wow. I cant wait to see if this really does happen. I think that if they did have to chose some one to make this movie, I think that they made to wisest choice with M Night. The way that he is able to bring his own imagination to life, I think he'll hit it. Plus, he is working with the creaters of Avatar, so I dont think that they will let him botch it to badly. I just cant wait to see who he will get to play the characters

Well at least he's not going to sum up all three books into one movie. That would have been disastrous not only to his career, but also to his health. We all know the most radical avatar fans might do something against him for doing that. Nonetheless, I'm waiting for the movies themselves before I give my judgment. I've seen The Sixth Sense, Signs, and The Village. Those are the only three movies I've ever seen directed by him. All three of them weren't too bad, about B movies. Even so, because Brian and Mike are with him, I doubt they'll let him f*** things up.
