Avatar: The Last Airbender the MOVIE

Kinda old news, really. But for those who don't know, M. Night Shamalan (hahaha! idk how to spell it) is making a three part Avatar movie.

BUT, what you may not know is that the casting has begun!!!

Already, Nicola Peltz and Jackson Rathbone have been casted as Katara and Sokka (Jackson is Jasper from Twilight, btw). Some Texas karate kid is playing Aang (named Noah Ringer, but I don't have any info on him yet), and Jsse McCartney is pushing for Zuko's part (good or bad? idk).

So! Any thoughts on this?

Are you....
Looking forward to this movie? Not looking forward to it? Don't know what it is? etc?

Okay, now the thing is here that this movie can be either really good and extremely sucktastic.

im slightly disapointed in the Zuko thing...i think the casting for him is off...but i still kinda think J.M. is sorta cute but...hes not my first pick at Zuko. they could do better. like pick some one whos from the right place.

It's weird.. Why are they casting white people to play characters that are "Asian" (or Asian looking at least considering it's set in another dimension/world) that live in a world influenced by a variety of Asian cultures.

It's something I'm not going to be able to get over.

You are absolutely right. A lot of people have noticed this and are complaining about it. It was in Entertainment Weekly last week that none of the people cast are of Asian descent.

I hate the show, honestly...

I'm scared. I will watch it because I actually like the series and I absolutely love Jackson Rathbone (I'm interested to see this "fun" side after seeing such seriousness from Twilight). However, the director is just... ehh. I'm not exactly sure whether to love it or hate it. I'll just have to wait and see.
