But it doesn't make much sense to think about what we can't have...
I miss Avatar. A lot.

Re: avatar rocks
Cool, thanks for stopping by, elve! Yeah, I don't think they've started filming anything yet, but when they do, we can expect a trailer. I think right now they may be writing the script and basically planning everything out. There's no way of knowing for sure though, obviously lol. Hopefully soon enough they'll realize how terrible a choice Dev Patel is and kick him out...

Hi elve King!
When do they usually start filming for a movie? Maybe about a year before it's release? And are we exactly sure when the movie's coming out- you know, like the month at least? I'm pretty sure they're filming in Greenland to get the whole South Pole setting.
LOL Yeah, I hope somebody throws something at M. Night Shymalan's head. Maybe it'll knock some sense into him.
By the way, the nominees for the Nickelodeon Kid's Choice Awards are out. Unfortunately, Avatar's not in it this year, but I would expect that because it hasn't aired in a while and the show ended. Oh well, I guess it's another win for Spongebob! Yay!!! [Sarcasm intended]
I wouldn't be voting because Avatar isn't in it, but since Linkin Park is, I'll be voting every day.

Re: avatar rocks
Yeah, I'd say a year to about 2 years, but considering it's already 2009, and it's expected to release 2010, they have no time to lose, huh? And for some reason I'm thinking it's coming out sometime June... I honestly don't know where I got that from, but it just sticks out in my head for some reason. Lol sweet! I can tell the amazing scenery from the movie and the actual show are gonna match.
Somebody? You're the one with the boomerang! Charge!!
Cool, I voted. Man, they should've got Avatar in there again. It just doesn't make sense to me... if a show wins the award one year, wouldn't it be smart to nominate it for the next year? If you ask me, Avatar should've been the first show nominated! Oh, and a quick note, anyone who votes for Spongebob, give me your address as fast as possible so I can come and get you more easily. (I voted for Simpsons just to avoid the she-devil's show.)

Re: avatar rocks
Hm...yeah they should probably start soon. Maybe it would be smart to shoot in Winter because its cold then and it would fit the setting of the beginning of the show. Unless it's always cold in Greenland...
LOL This is true. But I lost it in the finale- I mean, when we were taking out the naval fleet during Sozin's Comet.
Yeah, the show won two Grammy's recently (I'm pretty sure). Does anyone even watch The Fairly Oddparents anymore? And don't worry, I voted for the Simpsons too lol.

Re: avatar rocks
I think it's always cold in Greenland, but either way, they need to begin shooting soon if they haven't already. There are a whole lot of other scenes in season one besides the North and South Poles.
Lol aw man, now what're we gonna do? Do you still have your machete?
Yeah, it did, which adds to the ridiculousness of whoever nominated Phineas and Ferb over Avatar. No one watches that show anymore besides the fruity creators who probably all live in the same house.
Begin shooting?! Dude, the trailer is already finished!! Yeah, that's right!
Everyone go and watch Transformers 2 because the Last Airbender trailer will be showed in the previews of that movie!!
JUNE 24th 2009!

Just LOOK at that sexiness! You simply can't compare

The one guy i know was a total movie freak... HE could tell you anything ya wante dto know about upcoming movies and all that type of stuff so.... Anyways ya... if you catch a chance to see a movie beeing filmed, i def recommend going... Ive seen 2 so far and i think its the coolest thing seeing the set... The other movie i saw just hapened to be luck when i went to Ny city one day and they were shooting I am Ledgend... I got a good look at Will Smith, which was cool becuase hes def one of my favorite actors.
I've never seen a movie shooting around here anywhere... probably because I live in the suburbs and never go to Philly XD Though I go to NY often and I've never seen one there either...
Avatar portal is annoying me. They have that 'super secret' info and they just won't release it

Yeah, it would be cool to see one. They can't be shooting the whole first movie in Greenland though, can they? Because they pretty much travel to the other side of the world by the end of the season, so they'll have to do just that in the movie shooting.
They do? Hmm...I hope they release it soon.

Re: avatar rocks
Yeah, if M. Night is actually dedicated to making this movie as good as possible, then he should be traveling a lot for shooting. If he's lazy, he'll probably keep his traveling limited... and then the movie won't turn out like the actual show, you know, with all its amazing scenery?
They're holding a lot of secretive news right now, so hopefully they'll release it soon. I wonder what it could be...

Re: avatar rocks
Yeah, they do. And they can't do any shooting in a suburb-type area like New York and stuff because Avatar doesn't take place in a time like that.
I bet they're pictures of Noah Ringer.
I hope they do a good job with the special effects on the bending. I've seen some amateur-made things similar to it on Youtube, but they weren't all that good. Maybe this could be M. Night's one talent. I know choosing actors isn't lol
They need to travel a lot, since the Gaang travels a whole lot... so it starts in Greenland for the Southern Water Tribe, then they'll have to go somewhere for the Southern Air Temple and Kyoshi Island, Omashu, a large lake or ocean for Imprisoned... assuming they actually stick to the original plot line.
Noah Ringer? Why on earth would that be it? It's not like he's the main character of the movie or anything! Why would we want to see a picture of him?!
M. Night Shymalan has no talent, sorry to admit it.

Re: avatar rocks
AHH! Wow, this is sort of coincidental. We were just talking about them traveling a lot for shooting, and now I have great news! Our cousin (forswornmonk) just called and told us that they're shooting for The Last Airbender near where they live, at a building called the Pagoda. It's supposed to represent one of the Fire Nation temples, and I must say, it fits perfectly! They also might be coming to Philadelphia, so if they do, I'm going to go down to see them immediately! I want to go to the Pagoda place too.
caterpillar!!! :drools: They're actually filming at the Pagoda! I went to that place!! And now it's gonna be the Fire Sages Temple?! How awesome!!! Damn I really need to get myself down there... though I heard the set will be closed when they start filming.. They need to let me in, I could give em valuable shooting advice! I probably know the show better than all of those film guys... probably a hell of a lot more than the actors too.

No problem. I'm not even sure if it's an official site, but at least it gives updates. I learned that it's coming out on July 2nd, 2010, so that's some good news.
Check out this picture of the Pagoda too. You can imagine it looks like a Fire Sage temple, right?
Oh, and here's an unofficial poster I found on that site.

Looks like they've got another character casted! Apparently, Katharine Houghton will be playing Gran Gran! Huh...guess she isn't as bad as Dev Patel

You're welcome.
Yup, he was from Twilight. I wonder if he'll be able to do a funny role after such a serious one. I have no idea who the other people are except for Dev Patel, and a bunch of Youtube commenters said he's a good actor. They told me to watch Slumdog Millionaire, but I already did lol.
Yea I just saw it. He was okay. I'm still not sure he could play Zuko, but they did win "Best Movie of the Year". I never realized that Dev Patel was in that though lol.
Yeah, he was the slumdog, now he's going to play Fire Nation royalty
Can I just mention I hate Slumdog Millionaire? Sorry, just needed to say that.
Anyways... I came across this petition. It's requesting that Paramore do a theme song re-make for the live action movie, so if you like Paramore and Avatar, you should sign it XD
Yeah... I just want someone good to do the song though... There was also one for Evanescence to do it... though I doubt either of those bands have interest in Avatar... The movie needs at least something good though... so far it's not looking too great, with regard to the cast.

Cool, I signed! I highly doubt that Paramore will agree to doing that though lol. Oh well, it was worth a shot.
I think the movie can't turn out that bad, guys. I mean seriously, have you seen those booya-material special effects that they're using nowadays? I mean, they're more than good, they're great! (de ja vu... ) Avatar will be packed with those special effects for the bending and whatnot, so expect a lot out of that aspect. Regarding the cast.. well, the only one I'm completely against would have to Dev Patel. Other than that, I see this movie as a must-see. *Share opinions, agreements, and disagreements now.*
Well, the effects can be good, if they're used in the right way. I mean, we know what they can do, it's just how they do it that's the concern. Dev Patel has high potential of being an epic fail.

Re: avatar rocks
Yeah, I'm sure the special effects are going to be perfect. I was listening to an interview earlier and they were talking about how Star Wars had such great special effects, even though it was made like 10 years ago. And Transformers was pretty good too, so Avatar is definitely gonna turn out good. I've even seen some amateur-made ones on Youtube that weren't half bad.
As for the cast, I can see Jackson Rathbone doing a pretty good job with Sokka, however I think and hope the actors for Ozai, Zhao, and Iroh are a joke. They look nothing like them! It's completely pathetic; I would have expected something much better from such a famous and well-known move director. M. Night Shymalan was probably too high on cactus juice at the time! Lol but seriously, I hope they find some better people to play them.
By the way, if anyone hasn't seen them already, some more pictures of the set are confirmed. Here they are:
On your own account, you can check out more pictures by going to that user's account by simply clicking on the video. Have fun!
Yeah, but as far as I know those movies had pretty big budgets because they were made by big companies like Paramount and all. I don't really know who's producing this film... if it's Nickelodeon, I doubt they'll get adequate funding, you know how Nick feels about Avatar =/
Okay that guy playing Zhao MUST be a joke! He looks like he should be playing foaming mouth guy instead! Why can't they get Hugh Jackman? He's perfect!
At least he looks like Zhao >.>

I'm not sure if it's going to be produced by Nick or not... the movie Hotel for Dogs was produced by them and it made it to theaters, right? Maybe that'll be the same case with The Last Airbender. I don't know though.. I'd prefer a bigger company to produce this movie. Better special effects, better quality, and probably higher expectations. Besides, like Arya said, Nick has a bad attitude towards Avatar anyway.
Here we go... lol. You're right though, he is a much better choice for Zhao. The whole cast needs improvement. Plus, if someone well-known, like Hugh Jackman, took the role as someone in the movie, it would attract more viewers. Luckily we already have Patel for that.

Well, no one replied, so I'll just post again.
Guys, guess what? One my my substitute teachers and swim coach from our school is going to be in the movie! His name's Mr. Shire, though I have no idea what his first name is. He has a side role (fortunately); he'll be playing one of the Fire Nation soldiers. If I imagine him with the Fire Nation uniform and the helmet, he actually looks like someone from the show. His hair isn't suitable, which is fine though, since his helmet will be covering it. Plus his facial hair reminds me of the soldiers.
I'm jealous though. I wanna be in the Avatar movie. lol maybe I can audition for a second role somehow...

How the hell is it possible that your ogre of a teacher is going to be in the Avatar movie? Like, why .. ? Everyone in the world is ruining this movie in every way possible. We've got Jackson Rathbone fangirls going crazy for it just cause he was Jasper and now he's Sokka, Dev Patel fangirls cause he was in that Slumdog poo, and desperate randoms who want to be in it just cause it's being shot in Philly I hate M.

Lol, you keep talking as if there's Team Avatar and Team Elfen Lied. Which there's not, seeing as they're totally different xD Of course I'd watch it -___-
No, I meant like ... with Jackson Rathbone and Dev Patel, the wrong kinds of fans are going to want to watch this. Just because those low-grade actors are in it, the wrong audience is going to be watching this. They're not appealing to who they should appeal to, aka the real Avatar fans.
Well I just thought you'd see Avatar as kiddish/childish after watching Elfen Lied ...
Have you seen the whole show, by the way?

You don't like Jackson Rathbone? Wth? It might prove a better attraction; who knows? Remember, they want money.
Well, it doesn't exactly hold the same realistic and true feeling being aimed at younger audiences, but I don't dislike it; it's the best show on Nick ^.^
No. I don't have cable/Austar. Haven't seen the last episodes.
No, I don't dislike him. But it's just annoying when people are going crazy over it just because of one actor. They're not seeing how good the show is and most likely will hate the show after seeing the movie.
Yeah ... if it wasn't on Nick it would definitely have the freedom to appeal to older audiences... some of the things on there would be a lot more powerful if they could show them .. Like when Katara had to witness the death of her mother when she was around 4 or 5 years old ...
You can watch it online! If you ever want to, I can link you. The finale just makes the whole show 100 times better. It was kinda more kiddish in Season One and early on.

Re: avatar rocks
As I said, it's all only the views.
No, I don't think so. I think it was just aimed at that audience because if they wanted to make it more mature they could probably pull it off on a few oter channels I can think of. Plus, here it's not even on Nick unless you have cable, it's on another children's show, so yeah.
I'm looking at this from a fan's perspective, however. Wouldn't you hate it if there was going to be an epic Elfen Lied movie and a bunch of random people who don't even like the show for what it is were going crazy for it for the wrong reasons?
I don't know why they have it on Nick ... but I guess I like it that way. Non-violence is one of the themes in the show, and that's kind of reflected in the lack of blood, gore, etc.
Okay.

Re: avatar rocks
If it attracts viewers to watch and therefore see how cool it was and get into the movie because of the actors, I don't think I'd mind.
It's not really a "theme". It's just keeping it rated G.
But the movie's going to be awful, so then people will assume the show is awful too, and then we'll have to hear even more c**p about how Avatar s***ks and it's for kids and it's stupid, etc, etc.
If you saw the finale you'd see how it could be a theme.

Re: avatar rocks
You don't know whether it'll be awful or not though.
I've never heard of "no violence" being a theme lol. Maybe if it were about a mafia sorting their problems with other mafias through words, but otherwise, it's just to keep it at G, lol. The movie will probably be PG.
The way it's going right now doesn't really disprove my skepticism.
I meant that basically it's showing that violence isn't always the answer to everything. As in the way Aang didn't use violence to defeat Ozai. If you call that a theme, which it probably isn't, I just didn't know what to call it.

Re: avatar rocks
Hmm .. well ... it might have some surprises, but you never really know.
Well, that's a moral, not a theme. Cause you see them fighting throughout the show.
Ha ... rephrase: I'm sure it's going to FAIL EPICALLY.
The dude playing Aang. We haven't seen a picture of him yet. Yes, he's playing the main character and we haven't seen him yet

Re: avatar rocks
Yeah, I can see why you think it'll be bad, but I have faith in this movie. I mean, come on, it's Avatar, it's automatically good. Well, in my opinion, lol.
I know, it's ridiculous. There's just one problem I can think of with Noah Ringer. They keep saying how he's a martial arts master and whatnot, but that's one my too many factors to consider. I'll bet you anything he doesn't look a thing like Aang. Watch, I bet he'll look more like Katara than Aang! Shyamalan needs to take more things into account when making casting decisions. Oh well, it's too late now to change his mind.

Re: avatar rocks
Lol I guess so. We've got Mike and Bryan working on it- how bad could it be?
Yeah, if you've noticed, M. Night has never based the characters in his movie on anything but his own imagination. He makes up the people and chooses the right cast for them. But now he has to actually reenact something that's already been created. He has to replicate the character development displayed throughout the show, the attitude of the characters, and even the looks of the characters! I just don't think that anyone can get them all perfect, no matter how hard they try. Avatar simply can't be recreated. I guess he can go ahead and try though. What's the worst that can happen? The original show can't change from this movie. We'll just have to wait and see and hope for the best lol.
Do you guys think he'll alter some major things in the story? Like the shipping outcome?

Re: avatar rocks
No, no ... he would not alter the shipping outcome except exaggerate or not shout out enough.
If he even tried to change the shipping outcome he'd get such backlash from the fandom he'd have to quit his job as a movie director.
How bad can it be, Sokka? With that ding dong directing it can get pretty bad. The sole reason he picked Dev Patel for Zuko was the fact that he was in Slumdog Millionaire and he was 'impressed' by him. I see no reason behind choosing Jackson Rathbone. Sokka and Jasper have no similarities. Plus the actors have the wrong skin colors.
Just 'cause it's Avatar doesn't mean it will turn out good. It can be quite bad. Like it's turning out to be.

Re: avatar rocks
Lol yeah, he probably will. Plus, we've got Mike and Bryan covering him, so we don't need to worry about that anymore.
Lol this is true. I don't see how anyone can be impressed by Dev Patel in any way, but Jackson Rathbone isn't as bad as him. I mean, he's bad, but not as bad. lol
From how I see it, the cast couldn't get much worse, (unless they chose Micheal Jackson or something for Aang), and the movie has the completely wrong audience.
Anyway, do you guys think they'll create all the music that's gonna be in the movie? They can't really have music that has lyrics. They'll most likely use the music from the show.

Re: avatar rocks
I think the cast is fine right now as it is. I realize the skin colors don't match up at all, and maybe they look nothing like the characters from the show, but remember, they're actors. If I remember what the definition of actors is, it means they can pretend to be someone else and change their personality to suit them. So since that's covered, we move on to appearance and the vast world of make-up. You'd be surprised, people can look much different than they originally do with the right amount of make-up. Either that, or they can get face-lifts to look like the Gaang, though I doubt they'd do that. (For the record, I don't want them to do that)
Music... well, the The Last Airbender soundtrack will probably be a short one, and I think they'll take songs from the show and alter them a bit, perhaps to make them more dramatic or "life-like." I have a feeling they won't take songs with lyrics, or popular rock songs. Avatar has a genre that isn't very well-known, if you know what I mean.

Re: avatar rocks
That would be a more Asian genre. Keep in mind that I'm thinking more general. The majority of people around here aren't into that "genre," they actually tend to make fun of Asians. I'm not sure how things are in Australia.

Oh yeah, that's pretty soon! Everyone, see the second Transformers movie, Revenge of the Fallen, because Linkin Park is making a song for it and they're showing the Avatar trailer! Plus it's going to be an awesome movie in itself.

Re: avatar rocks
Well, yeah, pretty much. I think the movie will be like that, too, since nearly the whole cast is white. So do you guys think they'll have the same music from the show, like credits music, etc., for The Last Airbender's soundtrack?

Re: avatar rocks
They probably would, and add in drums and stuff. Something Eragonish/Avatar credits. That's what I'm guessing.

Yeah, something like that. Maybe they'll recreate some of the music just for the heck of it lol. For some reason, I doubt they'll use the same exact music from the show. Mike and Bryan (the creators of the show, just for you, Silver ) won't let the be that lazy lol.

Re: avatar rocks
You have got to be kidding me.
Apparently there are no pictures of Noah Ringer, right?
I guess we thought wrong. Apparently here is our Noah Ringer.
I rather believe this is a fake.
But this is the Real deal. I know this because they also showes Zuko, who in the picture is clearly Dev Patel, no photoshopping.

Re: avatar rocks
Yeah, I know, I saw this video on Youtube, and it really p***ed me off. I guess I didn't feel like posting about it here, since no one else really does lol.
Anyway, I agree completely, he looks like he's way too young, his outfit isn't even correct, and look at his stomach! That kid is way too fat-looking to be Aang, sorry for being mean lol. But seriously, look at his face. Does that look like Aang to you? To me it looks like some random 4th grader trick-or-treating dressed up as Aang as his costume.
