Why Shyamalan, Why?

[eastofthemoon]

Well, I've started classes and it does look like my second term will be a bit easier than last term. at least I hope it will (crosses fingers)

secondlina I got your package today and I love it! (hugs) Thank you so much, I had no idea you drew a Zuko/Katara. It was a nice surprise. I'm planning to frame it and put it up in my room. I'll take good care of it. ^_~


However, I did discover a bit of interesting/distrubing news.

Long story short, M. Night Shyamalan and Paramount are going to make a live action movie based on "Avatar: The Last Airbender". @_@

I have to say I have mix feelings about this. While a part of me is excited that an Avatar movie is being made, why are they making it live action? Since this is going to be based on a cartoon series wouldn't it make more sense to make it an animated movie? I will admit, it would be interesting to see a live action version, but to me it would make more sense to make an animated movie first and THEN try making a live action version.

However, I'm biggest issue is that Shyamalan is the one making it. Now, I mean no offense to Shyamalan fans, and I have heard both bad and good things about the guy, but I find he's an odd choice for this. Surely, that are other people who would be a better choice, especailly since it's suppose to be a movie for children. I wonder what Mike and Bryan (the creators of Avatar) must think of this? I just hope that Shyamalan will ask a lot of Mike and Bryan's opinions while making this, otherwise, I'm going to worry what kind of movie he will make.

(nods) Okay, I'll keep an open mind about him then. If you guys think he's a good choice, then I'm not as worried.

And I will admit, it will be awesome to see how they create all of the bending techniques, not to mention all of half and half animales in the world too, especially Appa and Momo
