*sigh* since the failure that is DBE, I don't know any Anime (or Anime influenced) live action movies so far that's been successful. Hopefully that'll change with this movie..... hopefully...
With a 200 million dollar budget this better be good. DBE already pissed me off to extreme levels.

^Didn't Death Note please you? Avatar better be good. I know its gonna be more scary-like cause the director normally films horror movies. Random Side Note: They are/were filming the movie up at Reading cause of the Pagoda and it being oriental and all. I got to see the site where they are/were filming just last week. =D

I honestly don't have high hopes, it's not easy to translate shows into movies.
Hell, books have a hard time.
Find me three book series that didn't get worse when they got movie-fied.

^How about book series that haven't been movie-fied at all? :zaru: No Tim, i didn't see any of the actors. Plus if I did see any actors, I'd be focusing on the hottie guys.

Hmm The DaVinci Code is one, how about some of the HP movies too? The Lord of the Rings is one... *thinks* and the James Bond movies as well...

MNS had better do the story justice. I expect nothing less than the nostalgia, magic, and the character development that Avatar is known for!

The movie should be good since it has paramount pictures, MTV films and nickelodeon helping out.
Basically we have:
Noah Ringer as Aang (He got the part through internet auditioning. :zaru:) Jackson Rathbone as Sokka (Also know as Jasper from twilight) Nicola Peltz as Katara (Shes had two other movie roles so far) Dev Patel as Zuko (Hes from Slumdog Millionaire) Aasif Mandvi as Commander Zao (Actor and Comedian and has been on The Daily Show) Shaun Toub as Uncle Iroh (He's Iranian, cool. =D) Cliff Curtis as Ozai (He's from New Zealand) Jessica Andres as Suki (Been in a few other movies)

What? Mark Hamill isn't Ozai!? I can certainly see how he'd be perfect for the role, considering he voiced the part to begin with... >.>
I swear, it's going to be so weird when all of the characters have voices we're not used to hearing come out of the characters' mouths. =_=

I know, right? This movie better be good to make up for that. Though I do disagree with the 'all white casting' a bit. I mean, they could've used an indian or native american actor for Sokka and Katara and not a couple of white kids... <.<

Personally I wouldn't have that high of hopes for it. The DB movie was nothing more than something to laugh at how horrible it was. There were so many discontinuities with the real storyline it discredited it too much (the sad thing was that it met my expectations).
It may not be hard to transition this into a movie but they'll probably find some way to screw up.

Though there's not much way for me to imagine how they can fail as epically as Eragon did...eh, you never know.

Please don't bad mouth Eragon. It didn't suck that bad. Granted, they could have stuck a bit more with the book, but aside from that, they did a pretty decent movie! You gotta admit that.
