The next Last Airbender film! Reboot?

[liesse00]

For it to work, Paramount/Viacom will have to give it "The Last of Us" treatment. Give the creators complete creative control. Write it, cast it, hire the director.

The market in China is vastly expanding, so in a few years it would be good business to reboot this and hire various Asian actors. I do wonder about something, how would the brand be called? "Avatar" was the perfect name for the brand, unfortunately, Cameron had already planned it for his giant blockbuster, so now all that's realy left is "The Last Airbender", which does fit Aang, but would fit a film focusing on somebody like Korra.

So this is kind of old news but I figured I would put it here...

The director has also confirmed that he will be behind the sequel of Avatar: The Last Airbender, despite the film getting panned worldwide.

The fantasy film starred Noah Ringer as lead Aang, Dev Patel as Prince Zuko, Nicola Peltz as Katara, and Jackson Rathbone as Sokka, but it failed to impress fans of the Emmy-Award winning Nickelodeon show.

However, Shyamalan has exclusively told Metro.co.uk that The Last Airbender 2 won’t be his next project.

‘It takes so long to make those CGI movies,’ Night explained, ‘It’s hard because it takes two/three years and I don’t get to make two of my own movies so there’s always a struggle of choosing someone else’s material over my own.

‘Right now I’m going to go do another one of my own first, another thriller.’

Don't think that actually means anything or how a sequel would even work out so long after the first one, but OK...

It's all talk.

The Last Airbender sucked, it was really bad, but there might a sequel, and if that happens Shyalaman will probably be involved.
The original tv series was really great and while the entire series formed a great trilogy, even book 2 felt like the empire strikes back, but i think they should remake the film series as 6 films, 2 hours each, because each season has 20 episodes and you have to pick the 6 most important episodes and that's difficult to do when each episode introduces important chararacters and elements to the story.
So if there were 6 films you could divide the episodes in 6 parts, making each film based on 10 episodes and so you could shoose the best 6 out of there.
The actors should be good, remember harry potter when they were just kids and knew how to act, that's exactly how it should be like.
Film one should also seem to act as a stand alone film, zuko would be the villain while Zhao doesn't appear that much.
As for the elements they should take, the first 2 episodes are a must, then there should be more drama with when Ang discovers that the other airbenders are dead with elements from the 3rd episode.
The episodes "The Warriors of Kyoshi", "The King of Omashu" "Imprisoned", and "Jet" could serve as the middle but mixing them all together wich means Bumi should show his identity without making games, soka trains with the kyoshis and katara is imprisioned at the same time, with the ending of Jet also serving as the begining of the last part of the film, this would be particularly based on the winter solestice part 1 and 2.
Zuko should in the end be put unconshious by Ang as people could see this also as a stand alone, since in the first star wars Darth Vader's ship is hit and after the death star is destroided some thought he could have died until empire strikes back came, zuko's duality could be aluded in the first film while the 2nd could make him more a anti hero and becoming the blue spirit.
So what do you guys say, another shyalaman movie, a reboot as another trilogy, a reboot as 6 films or more, or absolutelly nothing, what do you boys and girls want the next Avatar: The Last Airbender films to be?

I would like to see The Last Airbender be rebooted, but I don't want M Night Shyamalamadingdong anywhere near the project.

I also think that each season of the series should be a trilogy of 2 to 3 hour films. This gives the film makers more time to fit all of the crucial story elements and characters into the films.

Other than that, I pretty much agree with your opening post.

The Last Airbender (The Legend of Aang) does not need a film version since the animated serial was just perfect, it's one of the best tv shows ever. Stop ruining it, filmmakers!
