I have been away and now I'm back. I just found out that M. Night Shyamalan is going to direct the movie of Avatar: The Last Airbender (though now it's just The Last Airbender because of James Cameron).
That's weird, isn't it? Apparently he's writing the script, too. Now I just keep wondering what the twist will be:
Aang's really been dead all this time and doesn't realize it.
The Fire Nation is really the modern world.
Sokka is the Fire Lord and he started the war to find his equal.
All this time, it's the elements who have really been bending them!

I keep getting the suspicion that a live-action film version will totally suck!!!

"Alice, you need to learn seven words that can drive darkness from people's minds."
"How can words do that?"
"Oh, they create nifty CG effects that go WHOOSH and ZOOM and also the bad guys are charismatic yet unmistakably evil."
"Can I use the words in the real world?"
"No. Unless it's really, REALLY cool."

It's just that most remakes of asian movies suck ass to me, never mind that nobody needs them anyway. The newest one that makes me roll my eyes is the planned remake of "A Tale of Two Sisters" (called the "The Uninvited"), where I just need to look at this screenshot and my eyes roll into the back of my head all by themselves.

I don't know, couldn't they find some actual teenagers to play the girls? Or at least some who look the part? And for some strange reason, it seems they switched the sisters, so now the younger one is protecting the older one. I also predict that they'll up the horror part since they consider western audiences to suffer from tEh StOopid!1! and don't think they would get the whole psychological angle.

I always remember seeing The Eye (original) because it was the day OotP came out. I took a break from it to see the movie.

Alas, it doesn't air where I live.
Although, the other friend gave me a link where I could download the episodes. ;)
Why post when you can edit? >D
Now that I’m a fan, there’s a part of me that goes: “New canon! Squee!” But it’s a very small part. Most of me is worried about other things. Like the casting. How true will the studio execs be to the ethnicity of the children? And of course, the director has never produced a vehicle that is anything like Avatar: no children’s story, no action/adventure flick. He’s dabbled in mythology, yes, but only in the setting of the real world with a random dash of magic/the supernatural/outer space phenomena. He’s never worked with a movie where the entire world was magical.
But my biggest worry is this: by not ending Avatar with the last chapter of Book 3, it will be deprived on a final, graceful end and Aang, Katara, Sokka and the rest of our characters will have their wonderful story reduced to a merchandising vehicle in the spirit of Pirates of the Caribbean and other good stories that were ruined by market-driven sequels.
