Should be interesting...I'm not sure how M. Night Shymalan would do it because it seems like it's a completely different genre of story telling. I guess we'll have to wait and see...

Cool, when will they be released?
I will definitely watch them... wonder how they will be.
... Anyone else has more info about this?

Thanks!

News on the live action movie, and it may ease your worries.

Fans will be pleased to hear that Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko have finally voiced their thoughts about the upcoming live-action Avatar movie.

In an interview with Sci-Fi.com the co-creators said they are looking forward to the movie and have met with Shyamalan and feel confident he will stay true to the Avatar storyline.

"The movie is in the earliest stages, so it is too soon to comment on exactly what we will be doing," said Konietzko. "However, Mike and I have met with Night and, on top of really admiring his craft, he is a great guy who really respects the material. It means a lot to us that he personally chose to do this project and we look forward to helping him in any way."

This news comes as an enormous relief to many Avatar fans who feared the live-action movie might diverge substantially from the original story. It also dispels fears that the co-creators were going to be left completely out of the creative process as Paramount did not specify their level of contribution when announcing the deal with Shyamalan.

"We are thrilled that there is going to be a feature film of Avatar and that M. Night Shyamalan is writing, producing and directing it," DiMartino said. "Personally, I can't wait to see Appa fly!"

Thanks to Lisa31468 for the update, and the many others who emailed with the news!

As if the live action news wasn't surprising enough, here's another one: The first Season 3 DVD volume one has a release date, and still nothing on the TV air date?!



Katara seems to be getting a new look, a HOT new look! Toph as well from the looks of it.

Aang has hair?!

Sokka with a sword, about time.

In a surprise move, the release date for the first DVD set for the as yet unaired third season of Avatar has been announced by Paramount Home Entertainment. The street date for the set, which will include the first five episodes of the new season, is October 30th. Please see the full write up on TVShowsOnDVD.com which contains further details, including some solid speculation on a season three premiere date of late September.

The awesome cover art at left (click on the thumbnail to see the full size version) has the Gaang in Fire Nation garb, and, as many have been speculating would be the case, Aang with a full head of hair. This revealing cover art, along with the release date being announced before the episodes have even aired, has caused some controversy in the forum over the authenticity of this information. To settle this fast, we contacted Dave Lambert, the News Director for TVShowsOnDVD.com. He confirmed the information and indicated that TVShowsOnDVD.com gets its information right from Paramount's password protected press website.

If anyone here is heading to the Comicon panel, please ask why the hell we would know the DVD release date before the airing date of S3?

Though the best part of the news is that if Nick are still being idiots and not giving us a air date, we WILL see the new episodes in Oct 30th and they can't do a damn thing about it.

Finally, at least now we have a set date for the premier, be they via DVD or TV

That being said, I think the cover art is awful. Aang in hair looks..... interesting. I don't care for Katara or Sokka's new look. And Toph looks like a little punk.

I hope they don't spoil this with a direct-to-DVD release. The show deserves SO much better...

Season 3 premiure date announced!

September 21st, 8PM EST.

Im not sure if any of her stuff is anything but fan based, but she also keeps up pretty hardcore with the avatar stuff, and has some rather good art and mini comics for it.
rufftoon on deviantART
Just thought i would let you know

Rufftoon now works with the Avatar crew as story board artist, and she also did comics for various cartoons like Teen Titans and now Avatar. The stuff she shows on her DA, unless stated otherwise, is just for fun and not official Avatar art. Though she has posted a comic preview for the Season 3 magazine.

Hmm. There seems to be some other dude who can use all four elements in the trailer of Season 3. Any ideas who that might be?

That's Avatar Roku, the previous Avatar before Aang, possibly a flashback of him when he was younger.

He's the old dude Aang talks to in various occasions when he's in his spirit form.
