But, then again,
I could have sworn that Jackon Rathbone's comment would have stopped production...
"I think it's one of those things where I pull my hair up, shave the sides, and I definitely need a tan," Rathbone told MTV.com, presumably just before his publicist sat him down for a chat about political correctness. "It's one of those things where, hopefully, the audience will suspend disbelief a little bit."
Washington Post replies,
"But the only thing some fans will suspend are their plans to see the movie when it opens in summer 2010"
Update:
Protesters from the New York Casting Call in February
reported that the casting director are casting around the race of the lead roles chosen,
so this is how the tribes will break down:
Water Tribe = White People
Fire Nation = Middle Eastern People
Earth Nation = "Asian" People
Air Nation = White People
I have watched about 30 or so episodes of the TV show, I didn't like it very much but I don't know if it "sucked" obviously many like it, so Hollywood knows the name of the movie has a guaranteed fan base to make some quick money off of it.
I was never a fan of the animated T.V. show and I don't know if I'm interested in this yet. Plus if M. Night has his name to it, there are chills running down my back...
Not like it's gonna be scary or good, M. Night lost me after "Lady In The Water"
Matt, Jack, & Jon are three eloquent young gents. They philosophize, externalize, and harmonize on the most pressing subjects of the modern age. Actually, they mostly just talk about movies and current events, but the presentation is what counts.
