    I hope he does well with this movie. Avatar is my favorite show and I'd hate to see some messed up live action. If he does good enough to fit the high expectations, I'd love to see what else he can do, especially with the other seasons.

    my little brother loves the show. i think it is pretty cool, juevenial, but cool. a live action version would be ideal. M. Night should be able to handle it, as long as he doesn't get to cocky or star himself in it.

    Wow... I've been following the Avatar for some time now...

    And to hear this, leaves me intriguing... but I'll wait for the release of it and give my input on that.

    As for now, do any one know any other broadcasting of the other books?
