I agree completely. The world in Avatar is completely made up, the map they show for the world doesn't resemble Earth at all.

They can cast any nationality as any character. As long as the actor/actress fits the role, and can carry it, then it shouldn't be a problem.

I'm more curious as to what the story line will be like. Will they try and fit all three books into one movie? Or will they base the movie off of the first book and try and make it into a trilogy?
