Appa in the Last Airbender, CG or Puppet?
Monday, April 27th, 2009 by SpecterI’ve been curious about how they are going to create Appa for The Last Airbender. Growing up on The NeverEnding Story, I imagined him as a Falcor type giant puppet. Perhaps he would be created by the Jim Henson Creature Shop?
Airbender Casting is Complete, says Marshall
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009 by Specter
The Last Airbender’s producer Frank Marshall has posted on his twitter again, agreeing with what I’ve been saying all along. While there are the three primary characters from Book 1 that are considered by many to be the heroes of the story… they are not the only ones. Not by a long shot. They didn’t claim the victory alone… they weren’t the only heroes to fight in the epic battles. Toph still has yet to join the cast for part 2, and there are the others that are fighting along side them.
Calling Aang, Katara and Sokka the only heroes of the story is like saying Frodo and Sam claimed victory for Middle-earth alone.
Anyway, here’s the new statement from Frank Marshall:
There are more than 3 heroes. The casting on this movie is finished, so let’s all take a deep breath and wait to see it.
Last Airbender Producer Frank Marshall Comments on Cast Diversity
Saturday, April 4th, 2009 by Specter
In a couple of recent twitter updates, producer Frank Marshall has commented on the state of the cast of The Last Airbender:
Our vision for the movie is of ONE world, made up of four Nations, influenced and inspired by the Asian undertones of the series.
This world will have an ethnically diverse cast that represents many different heritages and cultures from all corners of the globe.
And in response to a comment about the way that fans of the show are reacting, (gosh, these complainers are beginning to sound a bit maniacal…I’m sorry for you) he comments:
It’s ok, doesn’t bother me. The movie is actually more diverse than the TV show.
Bravo, Frank Marshall! Bravo indeed!
