Is the new avatar series done movie#
Kaelen Jones : Personally, I would love to see the movie navigate the time period immediately following ATLA, especially considering the comic book series offers The Promise as a guide.
Let’s dive in: Let’s establish the basic timeline: Should the new Avatar movie be set Before Aang, After Korra, or sometime in between their two series? So, in honor of Nickelodeon Week, the staff at The Ringer decided to offer some unsolicited advice to the Avatar Studios team, along with predictions for what could happen in the franchise at large. The studio plans to roll out a new catalog of films and television series first on the agenda is a new animated theatrical film, set to start production later this year.ĭetails on the new movie remain sparse, however-the public is still in the dark on what the movie will be about, or which characters it will feature. Seven months later, the pair emerged with an exciting announcement: ViacomCBS, Nickelodeon’s parent company, would create Avatar Studios, an entire new production house based completely around The Last Airbender and its sequel series, The Legend of Korra. That film ran into some roadblocks last year when Avatar creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko dropped out of the project, citing creative differences with Netflix. A new movie is imminent-and we’re not talking about Thursday’s news that Netflix has cast the stars of its upcoming live-action adaptation. Rejoice, Avatar: The Last Airbender fans: The Avatar universe is about to expand in a big way. Throughout the week, we’ll be publishing essays, features, and interviews to get at the heart of what made Nick so dang fun-and now so nostalgic. To mark the anniversary, The Ringer is looking back at Nick’s best-ever characters and the legacy of the network as a whole. Introduced on August 11, 1991, under the brand of “Nicktoons,” Doug, Rugrats, and The Ren & Stimpy Show would quickly become hits and change the course of animation, television, and popular culture at large. That said, these latest announcements show that Netflix's Avatar: The Last Airbender is taking a step in the right direction.Thirty years ago this week, a rising but not-yet-ubiquitous kids network by the name of Nickelodeon launched its first original animated series. On the bright side, the dup are now working on other Avatar-related animated series for Nickelodeon, giving fans a lot more to look forward to. The first failed adaptation is one factor, but it doesn't help that the creators of the animated ATLA abandoned the Netflix project last year, citing creative differences. While things are looking up for Avatar fans, there's still an understandable amount of hesitation about this series. Not just in a cartoon, but in a world that truly exists, very similar to the one we live in. This was a chance to showcase Asian and Indigenous characters as living, breathing people. Kim said: "A life-action version would establish a new benchmark in representation and bring in a whole new generation of fans. Thankfully, that mistake hasn't been repeated and according to Kim, was a crucial motivating factor for working on the series.
So the decision to cast the three leads as white actors were baffling at best. The animated series combined an anime-inpired style with that of American cartoons and specifically drew inspiration from East Asian and Inuit cultures. We'll be able to see bending in a real and visceral way we've never seen before." VFX technology has advanced to the point where a live-action version can not only faithfully translate what had been done in animation - it can bring a rich new visual dimension to a fantastic world. But the more I thought about it, the more intrigued I became.
My first thought was, 'Why? What is there I could do or say with the story that wasn't done or said in the original?'. Netflix offers me the opportunity to develop a live-action remake of Avatar. In the official announcement statement, Kim added: "Flash forward 15 years. According to Kim, his involvement in the show is entirely his daughter's fault, for getting him hooked on the series years ago. Kim's previous credits include Sleepy Hollow, Nikita, and Deadly Class, but his most important qualification is being a fan of the animated series himself. Netflix has also confirmed that Albert Kim has signed on as a writer, executive producer, and showrunner of the new series.
