On January 8, 2007, Paramount Pictures' MTV Films and Nickelodeon Movies announced that they have signed M. Night Shyamalan to write, direct and produce a trilogy of live-action films based on the series; the first of these films will encompass the main characters' adventures in Book One. It is set for release on July 2, 2010. Filming will begin in Philadelphia in May 2009, and it will be shot in Greenland.
Avatar co-creators Mike DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko have come forward to voice their opinion within an interview regarding M. Night Shyamalan writing, directing and producing the film. The two displayed much enthusiasm over Shyamalan's decision for the adaptation, stating that they admire his work and, in turn, he respects their material.

The show is addicting.
I've even got my dad watching it.
We even heard something about Sigourney Weaver being in the movie.
Her voice anyways. |

Yes, but I will be way more intese since its a live action movie. I can't even imagine how they are going to get everything to look somewhat realistic-hopefully he does a good job.
I'm really glad that its being filmed in New Zealand and such because its really pretty there and thats where the filmed the Lord of The Rings movies and they were pretty great. |

I agree as Zuko, or maybe even Sokka. But again, on camera, he may be able to pull Aang off. It's pretty early to tell for me, really. |
