    I think that the ethnicity's of some of the actors is important, and that they (at the worst) should at least have a similar appearence to the actual characters, but for me, the acting is what really matters... As long as they are actually able to bring out the life and the characteristics of the cast, I'll be happy. I remember when there was a rumour going around, that Joe Jonas was going to play Zuko... Man, I laughed at that...

    Illustrator Laurent Ben-Mimoun has been added to the list, it looks like the movie is moving forward well.

    I've researched a couple of these names, and so far the movie seems to have a good crew working on it.

    I just looked at a lot of the people who made Eragon, another fantasy movie based on previous source material. Most of the people I looked at had very little experience compared to the people hired for Avatar so far. Glad to see Nickelodeon is taking it seriously.

    More seriously than I had hoped. These are, for the most part, very well known people working on the movie. They've all had their fare share in a box office miracle.

    Yeah, I know what you mean. I'm sure after Avatar's soaring ratings on Sozin's Comet week, a lot of them were thinking "did we miss out on something?". Nick acted like they were going to give it the royal treatment like in season 2 if not more, but we know that wasn't true. They always promote their movies though.

    I'm really enjoying the daily updates at IMDB, it gives me something to do here.

    Set Designer: George Lee (Armagedden, Oceans 11, The Italian Job, Cloverfield, Superhero Movie, Transformers 2)

    I find it interesting that multiple crew members worked in the same films together.
