    No Her skin tone is not correct her hair isn't the right shade of brown and her eyes aren't even close to blue. Besides the director asked for an undiscovered actress.

    Don't know if this has already been discussed, but will the title of the movie be changed overseas? It's just that I don't think a movie with the word 'bender' in it will be taken very seriously in the UK, seeing as over here it's used as a somewhat offensive slang term for a gay person. That's why me and mum couldn't stop laughing when we saw the first episode, as immature as we are

    I wonder why they call them "benders"? Is that because they bend during....nevermind.

    I mentioned the New Narnia movie a couple posts ago and it should be pointed out that the CGI water near the end of the movie looked really good. After seeing that I dont have any doubts with the CGI required to make The Last Airbender.
    the CGI for water was also great in Harry potter 5 w/ the dumbledore vs voldemort scene.

    There's has been constant awareness and enquires regarding the current nature of the production. Scriptwriting is in pre-production stage, while a few actors/actresses have indeed already been attached for certain roles including Aang, Katara, and Sokka. However, since these roles are currently in the negotiation stage, it is not guranteed. We encourage you all to audition despite these negotiations.

    WE already got this in the first post but thanks for posting.

    If you read some of the new articles about the movie it sounds like Shyamalan has already found the actors he wants to play the main roles. CAA has confirmed that Kevin Huvane does not use a hotmail account and that any of these hotmail accounts are not associated with them in any way.

    20 fight scenes! That's about as many as all 3 LotR movies combined. And why weren't any of us invited to this insider expo? I demand pics!

    Wow, this is a pretty interesting article. According to this, storyboarding for the entire movie is complete. That's impressive.
