Hello everybody. With the live action movie coming out in 2010, I was just wondering if anyone had any personal choices as to whom they like to see playing Aang and the gaang. I don't know if any body has been cast yet, and I haven't the slightest idea as to who should play Aang or Toph, but I do have two suggestions. The part of Zuko should be played by Morgan Benoit. He played a bully in the Jet Li/Jackie Chan film Forbidden Kingdom, and has trained for over 15 years in Kung Fu. Check his pics on www.imdb.com. A good choice for Katara would be Keisha Castle-Huges. She's best known for her her portrayal of Mary in The Nativity Story, amd the award winner The Whale Rider. She's beautiful, and at 18 she's just about the right age to play my favorite water bender. See her pics at www.imdb.comThanks.

Those are good choices, but what about Dante Basco and the rest of the show cast?

Yes! That would be perfect. From what I've read, M. Night doesn't have any plans of using any of the voice actors in the live action film. Mae Whitman, Dante, and Jack, would all look perfect. But Zack, Jessie, Greg Bladwin and Mark Hamll might not fit their pespective roles physically. Maybe if they did something like motion capture, like they did with Beowulf. Just a thought.

I'm really not picky but most of the voice actors...mostly aang and katara are in there right ages so I would mind seeing them play themselves...otherwise, I don't have a problem with any "perfect" casting.

I'll watch it, of course, but animated series' turned live action don't really have a good track record. I can see it now; horrible, completely misinterpreted, and no CABBAGE MAN T-T So help me God if they take away the humorous feel to the whole series. I'll never look at Avatar the same =/

Let's not be hasty here. Never look at it the same? In 2003 fox and marvel joined forces to screw up one of my favorite superheroes DareDevil. Now a bad movie didn't destroy my love for the charcter. Yes, it's likely that the live action film won't live up to the standards of the tv series. This is the best animated series ever, how could it? A bad movie won't make me look at Avatar differently.

Those are good choices, but what about Dante Basco and the rest of the show cast? Wouldn't Dante Basco be a little old, now? It's been a long time since he made his appearance as teenaged Rufio in "Hook."

ya, isnt he like 25? I think that all the actors should be the exact age of their character, I dont want them to use a 21 year old playing a 15 year old, its annoying

Actually, Dante Basco is like 33. I think he's too old for a sixteen year old role. I hope they have new actors 'cause having well-known actors be characters would be kinda weird.

They should have auditions like they did with the Harry Potter movies. Daniel Radcliffe and the rest of them were no one's before that.
