Greenland is cold. Ice land is the one that's green. :-P

I know...I was just saying that they might use more than one cold place including Greenland.

I think the coolest set if they go all out on it will be the western airtemple set...the fire lord's throne room is a close 2nd if they do it right..

I wonder what hot places there are to film for the Fire Nation, the Fire Nation Soldiers in the original Animated series at times were around hot places, so I'm sure in real life there could be good volcano areas for filming or something. As for cold areas perhaps for the Water Tribe or other reasons, there's also Alaska and Canada am I right?

Yeah, I was thinking of those places too. Where do you think they will film parts of the Earth Kingdom like Omashu and other places like Kiyoshi Island? I guess it would probably be in dry places like Australia? IDK I can't really think of a good place right now LOL. But I have heard that Vietnam was going to be one of the places the movie will be shot, maybe that's where the Earth Kingdom scenes will be.

like were they shot lord of the rings?

Yeah that's the place.

I believe that would be New Zealand..

Oh...really? Oops, how was I thinking Vietnam all this time?

no..i think you ment new zealand instead of australia...unless u were refering to the continent..

Ooh ooh! I have another question! Does anyone here know who the actresses are that are gonna play Azula, Mai, and Ty Lee? Oh wait... if the first live-action movie is gonna be based on only book one... then those three star characters are probably not even gonna be in it.
Hmmm, perhaps it would be a good idea for someone to give me the full list of all the actors of who's playing who for Avatar's first movie... that is, if someone here has that kind of information to provide to me.
And are there gonna be two more future movies next up showing book's two and three?

Rock_Goddess, the first page of this thread has, to my knowledge, the most comprehensive list of actors for the movie. Yes, there will be two more movies.

Two more movies if this one is done right and brings in a good amount of money.

So there it is, our first look at costumed characters.
It's of what appears to be 2 Fire Nation soldiers, and in the background you can see ice-blocks from what we assume are parts of the Southern Water Tribe set.

Updates or "Tweets" from producer Frank Marshall.
You can follow him too. Create a twitter account and do a people search for Frank Marshall.
TL : DR Version: They have bars, Pizza places and Thai restraunts in Greenland, ironically they dont have salads. Frank seems to be fan of Lance Armstrong. Fun activities included going to the sled dog race, drinking at the bars, jamming with Jackson, watching Indiana Jones: Raiders of the Lost Arc. Multiple blizzards with temps reaching -20s at night. Shot sunrises, sunsets, at a glacier, and at a village for the movie. Also eat Whale Sashimi.

Actress Seychelle Gabriel has it posted on her IMDB resume as having the role of Princess Yue.
This information is still technically rumor but I would expect official confirmation soon. She fits the profile of the type of actors that have joined on the project so far and even looks like Yue if you ignore the hair which will certainly have to be dyed.

I like the fact she has large eyes. She should be a good Yue, granted her acting skills are up to par.

She really does look like Yue, apart from the hair, obviously. I'm sure that she will play the role well if she has good acting skills too.

he said its on imdb so i'd doubt he's lying since it'd be easy to confirm. besides swanswan already did the fake casting list for grangran bato and sokka's dad today. oh and i saw some people on deviantart mention this too. apparently alot of fans consider her a good fit for yue.
