Fear that you'll essentially stop laughing at the Dragon Ball movie?

M. Night Shyamalan has found the cast for The Last Airbender, his upcoming live-action film based on the popular anime-inspired Nickelodeon series. The youthful group is mostly filled with unknowns who are likely to be household names by the time Paramount opens the first in its potential three-film franchise in July 2010. After an open casting call in Texas, Shyamalan discovered karate star Noah Ringer and offered him the part of Airbender's 12-year old hero, Aang, an Avatar with superpowers who must stop the Fire Nation from destroying the world. Twilight's Jackson Rathbone has been asked to play Aang's pal Sokka, while Nicola Peltz (Deck the Halls) will star as his sister Katara. Genial singer Jesse McCartney, meanwhile, is negotiating to play against type in the role of the Fire Nation's evil prince Zuko.

Well, at least they got a kid that knows martial arts already. The entire cast is, dare I say it, too white though.

Can Shyamalan do a kid movie that is from a source that alternates between light-hearted comedy, action, and seriousness with distinctive styles of martial arts? Given that his movies are so freaking morose and subdued, I question this.

Can he do it without a twist?

Avatar is good stuff. Hope he doesn't Boll it.

He'll mess it up. Honestly how long does it take people to realise that some things are best left animated? Avatar is a terrific show in its own right. It doesn't need to be given a cast of real-life characters.

I grew up in the GI Joe, TNMT era, but I dont think my father went on our IBM PC Jr to chat about it. (I know, no internet, but Al Gore was hard at work)

Yeah, God forbid I talk about a live-action movie....like everyone else in this forum.

the twist is, Aang is really dead and his after-life is living in a parallel universe attacked by aliens.
