Live-action Avatar Aang

I love Avatar: The Last Air­ben­der—such a fan­tas­tic car­toon. USA Today posted some shots of M. Night Shya­malan's live ac­tion adap­ta­tion The Last Air­ben­der. I've never seen a kids movie from Shya­malan, so I'm not sure if that is good or bad for this. His past work has been fairly hit or miss with me. But I have hope, and ap­par­ently Nick­elodeon does too -- they al­ready signed him on to write and di­rect a full tril­ogy.

Noah Ringer, who plays Aang, ac­tu­ally holds a black belt in taek­wondo. Dev Patel of Slum­dog Mil­lion­aire fame will play Prince Zuko, and he also has a black belt in taek­wondo. I'm in­ter­ested to see how Shya­malan puts that to good use. This first movie will only be book one, so un­for­tu­nately Toph won't be around.
