Here’s another set of really cool prop photos from the upcoming film “The Last Airbender”, based on the hit Nickelodeon cartoon series “Avatar: The Last Airbender”. “The Last Airbender” by director M. Night Shyamalan (The Happening) stars Jackson Rathbone (The Twilight Saga: New Moon), Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire), Cliff Curtis (Push) and Seychelle Gabriel (The Spirit). These photos were taken at Founders Hall on the Girard College in Philadelphia, which was used as a set location back in June 2009.

Synopsis: The film is set in a fantasy world where the four elements of earth, air, water, and fire can be controlled through martial arts called bending, and the ruthless flame-manipulating Fire Nation is waging war to control the other nations of the world. At the same time a young boy named Aang, the last surviving wind manipulator or Airbender and is also the Avatar, the physical incarnation of the world itself who possesses the ability to manipulate all four elements, is on a quest to stop the Firebenders and save the world, with his friends Katara, a water-manipulating Waterbender from the South Pole, and her brother Sokka. But the skilled and vicious Prince Zuko, the banished Prince of the Fire Nation, is on the trail of the Avatar, seeking to regain his lost honor by capturing him.

I hate M. Night Shymalan. I really don’t see how he can get away with screwing up a movie about an awesome tv series. I have seen every single episode of Avatar at least twice, and others more. the characters are not what they are on tv at all. There isn’t even ONE Asian person in the cast!!!! And the characters are ALL Asian! Except for Sokka and Katara, they are more Eskimo/Inuit. but even Sokka and Katara are casted wrong because the actors are WHITE.

americans never cast asians to do asian cartoons/anime.

yeah the fire nation are the ones with whiter skins and they are cast as indian people, and katara and sokka are tanner but are madd pale… i dont totally agree, but i will accept thats what its gunna be… the only thing i dont agree with is ozai. the actor cast for ozai is terrible at bad guy acting, i mean just look at him hes the most un-intimidating person in the world, he doesnt have the angry face… when i picture him in the movie i see a total disaster

Creators of show: both white, both American. They’re 100% attached to this movie. Their baby, their rules. The creators are okay with it and it’s going to happen so either get over it or don’t go see it - just quit complaining because this is happening with or without you.

everyone is flippen shit cuz of the skin color or race? whats the big deal? just be happy your favorite tv series is being made into a live action film by a well known director. demon 64, I totally agree with you.

Honestly, I never like to play the race card on anything, but the reason its such a big deal with this movie is because the show really put a lot of thought and consideration into the culture and races of the 4 nations. Water are inuits and native Americans, original fire benders (3rd season) are Mayans, fire/earth are a mixture of Japanese, korean, and chinese, Air benders are Tibetan Buddhists. They put so much effort into emphasising these cultures, even with placing some cultural festivals within a few episodes, that its upsetting to see them through the movie together so quickly and ignore one of the big focuses of the show just to sell tickets. But this is JMO.

@Lex…..in the show they totally mixed a ton of different cultures together! its all messed up in the show so it figures that its messed up in the movie..for example…the fire nation is like a mix of china and japan..i mean the uniforms are chinese, the food is chinese..but the names and look is japanese and the building are like a mix of the two..so i dont thinks its a big deal if they change what nationality they are because for one the nations are imaginary so they arent technically any ethnicity except for fire water air and earth..and the show mixed a lot of stuff anyway..but thats just my opinion

I’m very excited about the movie, but yes, race does matter, sokka is tan, and the guy who plays him is like totally pale and white, it just doesn’t look site.

It doesn’t look right*

@sky…i personally could care less if they look like the character..it is just a cartoon..and maybe they thought sokka and katara were white because they have blue eyes…and i actually think looks pretty close to sokka anyway even though hes white…i think you people should stop worrying about race so much…i dont want to be part of a generation that is extremely up tight and worried about race and everything like that..we are all just people…and another thing…if its sooo hard for some one of another race to get a job “pretending” in front of a camera…than why dont they just try to get another job?? i mean theyre not really benifiting society by acting in a movie…and the reason why there are more white leads is because there are more white actors! the other ethnicitys are more interested in real jobs that pretending
