    I could foresee the movie being nominated and winning the musical score category. It may also win other technical awards. I doubt it will win any acting awards. Fantasy films usually do not produce acting nominees. The LOTR trilogy, the archetype for all fantasy films, produced only one acting nomination (Ian McKellen). I imagine "The Last Airbender" will be a success similar to the "Harry Potter" and "Chronicles of Narnia" movies. I would be satisfied with that outcome.

    The music will definitely be award winning, if anything. That's one of Avatar's strong points, and that's saying something.
    I agree. For example, the music in The Last Agni Kai was amazingly great!

    Yeah, as I earlier stated, I fully expect Avatar to compete for the musical awards. I would be fairly surprised if it is not nominated for those categories.

    When this movie was anounced, I was on the 50/50 line, meaning it could be good or it could be terrible. It could be terrible because the success track record for film adaptations isn't exactly in our favor, and it could be good because Shymalan seemed really enthused about making this movie in every interview we've gotten so far, stating he's willing to devote all his time and energy in this trilogy for the next 6 years.

    Now, me's a little worried since he's going to be producing several other films over the course of the next 3(+) years. This means he's going to be diverting his full attention away from "The Last Airbender," which might cause him to lose focus on the film.

    Guess he couldn't go that long without writing one of his own stories. Go figure.

    I was on the 80/20 line, and am really looking forward to this movie. Since the casting and crew was just announced, I'm guess this this will either be a Spring for Summer flick for 2009 right?

    I just wanted to add my two cents to who I think should be cast in some of the roles :

    Katara : Qorianka Kilcher, shes was in that film 'the New World' with Colin Farrel and Christian Bale as Pocahontas. Shes an amazing actress, and I also think shes got the right ethnicity for a Water Tribe member.

    Sokka : Now I know there a rumours that the part has gone to some Greek guy, but I think Taylor Lautner would be good. He was Sharkboy in Sharkboy and Lavagirl and hes playing Jacob Black in the new Twilight film, he has that native american look going.

    Zuko : Arron Yoo, he was in Disturbia with Shia LeBouf and in 21 with Kevin Spacey, because when I imagined Zuko he was always Asian.

    Azula : Now, Im not really that sure on this one, but I thought of Katie Leung, who played Cho Chang in Harry Potter.

    Now i know you might disagree, but what do you think?

    Hugh Jackman IS Zhao. I refuse to entertain the idea of anyone else playing him. And I see Katie Leung as Song maybe? If Song was in the second movie, that is.
