Avatar: The Last Air Bender Movie Expectations

Avatar: The Last Air Bender, set to be released on July 2nd, 2010 is set to be based on the Avatar: The Last Airbender Emmy-winning animated television series. The series has also profited by selling action figures, trading card games, video games, stuffed animals, and lego sets as well. The series was produced by both Nickelodeon Movies and Paramount Pictures. The series is set to be a trilogy but this is only the first in a set of three. It began production in March of 2009. The story is based on Asian mythology and art along with a variety of martial arts fighting styles. It was created by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko but has been adapted by M. Night Shyamalan. He is working with Sam Mercer, Scott Aversano, Frank Marshall, and Kathleen Kennedy on the film to turn it from a television series into a movie and eventually it will come to your computer screen so that it can be one of the choices you have to watch movies online.

The story line is based on Aang who is an individual who would rather take on an adventure during the day instead of taking on his role as the Avatar. He is played by Noah Ringer. Katara and Sodda, Aang's friends, travel with him to find the Waterbending master at the North Pole so that they may also learn the secrets to be found. While this is going on the current Fire Lord of the Fire Nation is fighting a war against the Water Tribes, Air Nomands, and the Earth Kingdom as well. Some of the other stars include Jackson Rathbone, Dev Patel, and Nicola Peltz.

The first trailer was released on June 24th, 2009 after the Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen as well as June 22nd, 2009 on the ET network. It features Aang in a temple while it is being attacked by the fire nation ships. The theatrical trailer was released on March 25th, 2010 to set the scene for the big summer release. The music for the film was composed by James Newton Howard. He has formerly been given recognition for working on The Dark Knight with Hans Zimmer as well and has also worked with Shyamalan on multiple occasions.

Casting has been given some criticism so far. Many people feel that Aang looks entirely too young and has too much of a baby face to accurately portray the character correctly. There has also been some confusion over Zuko's scar not being as prominent as it should be along with lacking his hair style.

The trailer does not give much way to expectations for the film. Some may wonder if the movie will do justice for the original series. It is typical though that diehard fans will find fault somewhere because nothing can ever be adapted completely from one rendition to the other. All that can be done is to wait and see what the director will be able to produce if you decide to see it in theaters. If you would rather watch movies online you will be waiting a bit longer. A trailer may give a glimpse into what can be expected but in no way can it show just what will be coming to the big screen when it hits on July 2nd, 2010.
