What if Jessy does some intense training with some Shaolin Monks before filming starts? That could certainly garner him some respect if he's that willing to play the part.

Well, he's pretty much guaranteed to have to do some intense training -there's no way he'd be able to get around it. But as for him chillin' with the monks? I'll believe it when I see it. By the way, how lame is it that the non-acting kid doesn't even practice any form of kung fu! He does karate - and they are *not* the same. Ugh, even though he has the physical muscle memory, he'll *still* have to be trained up in kung fu like the rest of them. They might as well have just hit a gymnastics studio. Oh wait, that's probably where they'll find their Azula.

I bet there's going to be a lot of bloopers, nonetheless... The music in Avatar was epic, too. I don't mind them changing the songs around a little, but it should be kept the same soundtrack (plus any new ones). Just my opinion! I found a really good audition tape on YouTube for Aang (if it hasn't been mentioned or posted yet): Aang: www.youtube.com/watch?v=mF66pFElnL0That kid in the video is amazing...not sure of his acting skills, but otherwise, he would be perfect for Aang. Brandon, please do not double post. There is a modify button on the upper right hand of your post that you can use if you want to add more content to your original post. Thank you. =)

OMG, that kid is what I had in mind when I thought of Aang. Why couldn't they have gone with him? I mean, at least he has the look, and is actually familiar with kung fu. Heck, they don't even have to teach him Northern Shaolin when it comes to the time when Aang has to firebend! Ah well... is it sad to say that I hope the first movie bombs so that in a few years, someone else who actually cares about it will come along and actually do it right?

Sorry about that, Night . Yeah--he has some staff skills too. Plus some tumbling skills .

That kid should have gotten the part! Speaking of martial arts, do any of the other actors have any experience, or do they just plan to wing it and hope the CG covers the rest?

From the looks of who they casted so far...I will not be spending my money on the fail.
I kinda guessed the movie wouldn't be all that great, but this is just sad. The cast is the backbone of a movie!

Theyll probably just do all cg for the fight scenes, and that would be really gay! Its still a 50/50 of how bad its gonna be though, but im still cringing >_<

*looks at pictures* Oh. Ok Honestly, to me it seems Nick is going for the High school musical angle. Using Jesse McCartney in the hope of pulling swooning fangirls, like Twilight or something Oh please please please let him be a good actor.. Anyways.. I actually like the choices for Sokka and Katara (ducks!!) I mean I know they're pale but they can use fake tan. (technological advances of the 21st century eh?!) and as for Nicola being too young, I disagree strongly.. if she were older you'd be complaining too, I'm relieved they choose actual teenagers, I mean there will be three movies. Otherwise you'd have an actress who'd be like 24 for the last film.

OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG!!!!
I'm so excited they picked Jackson Rathsbone!! He was really good as Jasper in Twilight! *Squee* As for Jesse McCartney, though, as Zuko, methinks that Joe Jonas should do it. (Have you ever compaed him with Zuko??)

Otherwise you'd have an actress who'd be like 24 for the last film. I don't think Nicola's too young - I think Jackson's way too old. He already is 24! Depending on their production schedule he could be pushing 30 by the time the last movie rolls around - and Sokka's supposed to be 15. No faux-"90210" teenagers, please. I'm just saying that they should have cast Sokka and Katara as similar ages. If you pick young!Katara, get a young Sokka. If you're going to pick an old Sokka, then pick a Katara who better matches his age. Don't pick actors who are so far apart in age to portray siblings who are supposed to be that close.

I agree, we don't need a Harry Potter situation where the characters are growing hair faster than they can shave, though they are 15.

I don't really care about their race, at all. I care if they can do the job.

Good point. *nod* I just care about who they're gonna cast for Zuko.

When McCartney was a child actor he played a character on All My Children who's character matches Zuko's exactly, JR Chandler. They are both controlling, obsessive, somewhat violent, but not evil and no the difference between right and wrong.
