Avatar: The Last Airbender Movie
Tuesday, April 15, 2008
Here’s some really fantastic news. If you’ve never seen Avatar: The Last Airbender on Nickelodeon, I highly recommend it. it’s one of the best cartoons or animated shows (whichever) in a long time. Now M Night Shyamalan is currently working in pre-production to adapt it to a movie trilogy.
“The actual plot is in a place where there are four tribes of people. And these people each have people within their tribe that have mastery over one element: water, earth, fire or air. They all live in a balance and harmony and once every generation there is born an individual who can bend - that is manipulate - all four of those elements and thereby keep a balance between all. They are kind of a Buddha figure to some extent. The story is about how, in this particular time, this avatar is born into the airbenders and disappears. Then all hell breaks loose and the fire nation basically commits genocide and eradicates the air tribe in the hopes of killing the avatar and taking over control of everything. This child then re-emerges, which is the beginning of our story. He reappears having been frozen in the ice - there is a whole story about how that happens - a hundred years later and this world is all fucked up and he is the last airbender, but he doesn’t want this job. He’s forced into the position of putting the world back together again. It actually has a lot of Shakespearean overtones to it. There’s lots of family angst, and fathers denying sons in different storylines.”
You can read more at the source link above, but honestly…this is a fantastic show to be picked up for live action.

this is some leaked information which i heard
from my cousin who works abroad with the producers of avatar.sorry to say that there will be the really deppressing death of Zuko killed by none other than azula and firelord Ozai but not before Anng masters firebending.The story continues in book 4-air anng realizes that the last element he needs to master is air as his airbending skills aren’t to their full potential,he will find a survivng airbending teacher believe it or not called fuu!the series will end in book 4 with anng killing the firelord,katara defeating Azula who’s life gets spared.I hope this will solve you’re desperation on finding out what will happen in the other avatar episodes in the future.

You liar….There will be no book four, and Ozai can’t firebend anymore. Aang took his firebending power away. Also, Katara already defeated Azula. We don’t know if she killed herself (I have my fingers crossed), was executed (I doubt it) or what-not. But your ‘rumors’ are false.
