In case you did not know, the TV show "Avatar: The last airbender" is being made into a trilogy. The movies the show will be made into will be live-action, not cartoon. M. Night Shyamalan, creator of Unbreakable and The Sixth Sense, is writing, producing, and directing this trilogy. Each movie is to be based off a different season, and Shyamalan has finally gotten a cast fro the movie. The movie is to be released on July 2, 2010. Click here to read more.

And talk about the series too.

Well, I've known about the movies for more than a year.

Anyway, Avatar is my favorite T.V. show and I recommend it to anyone who's never seen it.

The show is about as good as a [insert whatever the word is for not-Japanese anime-ish show] can be but I really don't know if a live-action trilogy (directed by the increasingly self-indulgent and cinematically devolving M. Night, no less) is the right path for the... franchise? Series? Well, whatever it is, yeah, I'd heard about this before but not the fact that it was going to be a trilogy (though I guess it was stupid to not see that coming).

Going back the show itself, I'd just like to say that I got an idea for a (still-relevant) book and/or graphic novel series with a semi-similar setup sometime before when the show came out (it also retroactively bears some unintentional resemblance to The Seeker: The Dark is Rising, Dragonball, and Hellboy II, but that's a story for another thread).

BTW: Not to be rude, but I find it interesting that you linked to a page which clearly states the director's name and still twice misspelled "Shyamalan".

I just fixed it. Click here for a countdown to the release of the first movie.

And I find Shyamalan's movies pretty good, though I know many others don't.

I got to watch the first two episodes of Avatar months before the series began running because of a survey my dad participated in, and I was unimpressed. I've seen a handful of episodes since then and still don't see what the big deal is/was, and I don't want to see any of these movies.

Ditto.

Also, regarding Shyamalan's movies, their chronological quality fluctuates in a sort of parabola: The Sixth Sense is great, Unbreakable is pretty good, and Signs is excellent, forming the peak in the process. Then there is a drastic plunge with The Village, Lady in the Water just barely slowing the descent, and then the line breaks the boundaries of the graph and plunges into the Earth with The Happening.

(This data excludes Praying With Anger and Wide Awake, which not a whole lot of people probably saw, let along associate with the "current" M. Night)

I haven't seen The Sixth Sense. Signs was very good, and so was Unbreakable. The Village was under rated, Lady in the Water was good but confusing at parts, and The Happening was good, and suspenseful, but not his best film.

The creators of Avatar are writingenuity the script for the movies, for the most part. Also, Shyamalan is a big fan of the show, and wants these movies to be the best that they can be.

Yeah, I was wondering the same thing... Sounds like a portmanteaux of writing and ingenuity.

I was on the Wii internet channel, and I accidentally typed writin without the G, so I went back and typed G, but must of accidentally moved the pointer over genuity.
