    I don't know about anybody else- but I think Zuko is extremely attractive (even the scar). So, I hope the actor they choose can do justice to Zuko's hotness and persona.

    Dante Basco {img removed for space}

    I still say he'd make a great RL Zuko. I mean, the voice is half the battle.

    Yeah, but unless I'm mistaken, Dante is close to 30 years old already, isn't he? He might be a little old to pull off the role of a 17 year old.

    Nah. In one of his recent movies, about dancing (forgot the title), he played a 17 year old. He can play an angsty Zuzu. Whom I'm concerned about really are the girls. Are they going to have a cute and super-duper flexible Ty Lee? Are they going to have Gothic Mai? Are they going to have a semi-hot Katara and Toph? It's them I'm concerned about!

    yes I totally agree with you guys... they should make their cast awesomely good. If they don't it could lose them a lot of fans.

    Yes, the show is ending after this season.

    Then 2 years later the first LA movie will come out.

    You can only make a fast-paced hollywood summer blockbuster with thrilling special effects and superior scripting and plot so fast y'know.

    They should, because Mike and Bryan are executive producers.

    They are not making a new plot for the movie. It wont be exactly like the TV show but all the main parts of the story will be there.

    Yeah I don't mind waiting 2 years for this, as long as they do a good job on it. I'm glad that the creators are the executive producers, that means that it almost most definatly won't be butchered.

    I wonder if they'll make any changes to the plot for the sake of putting 20 episodes into 2 hours. (e.g. leaving Jet and Suki until movie 2)

    The point is, since Bryke are helping him to write it, and they're executive producers, will you mind some minor plot changes.

    No really, actually i could take some short of alternate ending specially because many characters won't make it to the movie.

    I think it will be interesting to see who Bryke think is important enough in the plot to keep in the movie, and who to take out.

    I for one hope it isn't just a remake of the show because we've already have that story. I hope it's some sort of continuation of the show. Like say a few years later after they take down the fire lord. Maybe have Azula as the main villain with the remaining fire nation armies or something.

    Hate to break it to you, but it is a remake of the show. Three movies, one for each book.

    Look on the bright side, at least Avatar is now going mainstream. People no longer have the excuse of 'it's a cartoon' for not giving the show a chance.
