Director M. Night Shyamalan Talks About 'Avatar' Movie

BuddyKris · 09-13-2007, 12:00 AM

In case you haven't heard, Aang and the rest of the gang are heading towards the big screen as M. Night Shyamalan directs Nickelodeon's Emmy Award-winning animated series, Avatar: The Last Airbender. Set in an Asian-influenced world of magic and martial arts, the fantasy series follows the adventures of Aang and his friends in their quest to save the world.

The news about Avatar's film adaptation sparked earlier this year when Paramount Pictures' MTV Films and Nick Movies announced that they have signed M. Night Shyamalan to write, direct and produce a trilogy of live-action films based on the series, in which the first part will encompass the main characters' adventures of book one.

I've been going over this whole Avatar movie thing for a while now. I've been a huge fan since the series started- and I'm 22 years old!
I don't agree with the whole "live action" idea, and I am also very wary of the idea of Shyamalan having creative control here. Is he even a fan? Is he going to hold true to the story we have all come to love? Not only that- if it's going to be live action, they're going to need actors... and I can only assume whatever actors they choose, no matter how talented they are, will completely obliterate the true sense of the whole Avatar story. Not to mention the fact that Avatars fan base already has each and every characters face and voice burned into our minds- and to see someone else attempting to portray our beloved Aang, Katara, Sokka, Toph, or anyone of the other amazing characters will just be a total shock.
Still yet- there is always the possibility that it won't tank. I'm no director or producer. I know nothing of what they can or can't do- or w
