    I'm TOTALLY up for that !!!!!! i kept saying that too awhile back, but no one gave their opinion. + i think that Hugh would attract more people to film for those who havent seen avatar. i can prove that the movie wont be some sort of gimmick.

    Thats what I think! If Hugh acts in it, more people would watch it and realize its not just a kid's movie. Plus, the crazy Hugh fan girls and X-Men fans would want to watch it too!

    For fun:

    Look at the resemblance!!! They look so alike and they're both muscular! Of course, I think Hugh will have to shave some body hair for the Agni Kai scene.

    Hugh was so fantastic in X-Men, I just fell in love with him. But if he played Zhao... my little fangirl heart wouldn't be able to take it.

    So where did this rumor about them shooting in Vietnam come from? I ask because I'm wondering what scenes they'd shoot there since nothing from S1 takes place in a tropical setting. It was either tundra, mountainous, coastal, arid, or deciduous.

    It would have been better if you chose a pic of Hugh shirtless, but we all know he has equal muscle compared to Zhao. Hugh is the one and only perfect match for Zhao!!!!!!

    do you know where vietnam is? because fyi there are mountains and coastal areas in Vietnam. besides, they can also shoot in small villages and maybe the temples? the big ancient temples far from the cities are really beautiful.

    Their mountains and beaches are covered in tropical vegetation. The mountains in Avatar are snow capped and the coastal regions are littered with conifers and other non-tropical trees. Same goes for any villages they visited. And the only temples they visited were the 2 air temples and the one in the FN.

    Both air temples have a Tibetan aesthetic and the FN temple had a Japanese look to it. And in case you didn't know, neither looks similar to Vietnamese architecture.

    Well, the majority of Season 1 didn't take place in the Water Tribe, but more in the Earth Kingdom.

    not even half of the season takes place on snow capped mountains or anything relating to the snow tundras. im sure M.Night will know what exactly do when he's behind the camera. vietnam has plenty of coastlines like the pic on left.

    umm okay, i got to catch up lol

    I think for Momo they might just use a real lemur! That would be awesome (IMO). If they wanted too they could just use CGI for the ears. Hugh Jackman as Zhao, you got 100% of my suppport for that, it would be perfect! And would definitely attract more people to see the movie. I think we need some big name actors in this movie to really catch peoples attention.

    If the majority of the movie is in the NWT i think the movie needs to be a bit longer than 2 hours maybe 2 hours and 20 minutes to be able to fit all of the epicness into the movie. But they'll cut out alot, so we'll just have to see what they come up with.

    I thought I clarified this in my last post. None of the mountains or coastal regions in Avatar had any tropical plants. That's all Vietnam has. The only tropical land we see in Avatar is in the FN, but we don't see that in S1 (except for 1 small volcanic island).

    If M. Night wants to change the Earth Kingdom setting, fine. I'm just saying it's not gonna look like any of the places in S1.

    I'd freakin kill the thing if it was a lemur. They freak me out. Actually, flying squirrels are adorable.




    How can you say that isn't cute?!
