Title: An Avatar movie!? Discuss!!!
Post by: MagmarFire on June 02, 2007, 05:02:23 PM
Every Avatar fan who's a member of TDC and reading this topic, your eyesight is not going bad. You read correctly: there's going to be a live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender film directed by M. Night Shyamalan, famed for directing The Sixth Sense and Signs, I think. As if the very probable Book 3 airing weren't good enough! :D

Discuss.

Live... action...?

Not a good idea, I think. But I'm not really a fan of movies.

Exactly what I was thinking Fisk. Avatar is an okay show, but it would just be disturbing live action.

Hmm... you say live action, like with real people? I don't know. I mean, the thought of an Avatar movie is awesome, however, I think a cartoon rendition would be much MUCH better.

Well, from what I've read, it's going to be made into a trilogy, the first of which is going to cover the events in Book 1.

This is a horrible idea...how are they going to capture the awesomeness of the bending with live action? Chances are they'll blub the special effects...

I agree with SN, it is a horid idea, but like I said before, you never know. Transformers was once a cartoon, same with spiderman, and all of those turned out to be or in transformers case look awesome.

Looking awesome and being awesome are two seperate things. Need I requote my story about the rocking horse?

TL, once again, no one can accurately see how great/bad a movie is or what it's like just by watching its trailers, even if they do look awesome. You've seen the Bridge to Terabithia trailers, right? I think that's the best example of false advertising on the market. Many people thought that it would be a fantasy-like film, and many of those people were disappointed when they found out that it wasn't, and many others were happy at the same time. Eragon is also a good example. I thought the trailers for it looked good, but was the movie itself good? In my honest opinion, no, it wasn't.

In this case, we don't even have any trailers to "judge" the movie by. Need I also mention The Lord of the Rings? If I'm not mistaken, many people were apprehensive about it becoming a movie trilogy, but as it turns out, it was a major blockbuster! But ultimately, as you said, TL, you just never know. Heck, it could very well be a horrible idea. But we can't say for sure, especially since the movie is in its earliest stages of development at the time.

hey, you actually agreed with me on something for once in our lifes, lol, anywho, yeah, I guess we'll just have to wait for a random trailer to come out so we can see for ourselves.

We can't judge anything by trailers, thought we already said that...the only thing we can see is how pretty it is. Genji: Days of the Blade was a beautiful game, but got one of the crappiest scores on a review because it was all shine, no substance.

Same with mortal kombat, the game was awesome, but turns out the movie's were dumb and more importantly, sucky! so yeah, I hope it does well though.

If it looks decent, then I'll go and see it. That's all there is to it, really. I just don't want it to tarnish the name of Avatar with stupidity.
