Last Airbender live action movie
I am positively giddy. I adore this cartoon, was continually astonished at the pride and care and craftsmanship that went into the writing, the animation, the voice-acting, and especially the world-building. Let us hope M. Night Shyamalan can work his old magic.
Dear Hollywood, even if this movie betrays and disappoints we few, we happy fans of AVATAR THE LAST AIRBENDER, the mere fact that you made it at all, means that I must forgive you for “Redacted,” “Rendition,” “Lions for Lambs,” "Stop-Loss," "W," "Grace Is Gone," “In the Valley of Elah,” "The Road to Guantanamo," and a few dozen others. (However, I will not forgive you for "V for Vendetta" until and unless you make "Voyage of the Dawn Treader" and "A Horse and his Boy.")
You see? It is not that hard to retain customer good will.
Now if someone would only make Larry Niven’s RINGWORLD into a movie, perhaps starring as Megan Fox as Teela Brown, Will Smith as Louis Wu, and Russell Crowe as Speaker-to-Animals. Jim Hensen’s workshop could do the Nessus the Puppeteer.
