Didn't use Asian actors for DBZ either.

So when the core cast was revealed, hardcore fans recoiled -- not because the actors are mostly unknowns, drawn from open auditions across the country, but because, well, they're white.

This is far from the first controversy regarding the casting of Asian roles with Caucasian actors -- last year saw an outcry over the "whitewashing" of "21," the film about blackjack prodigies whose real-life counterparts were a group of Asian M.I.T. undergrads. But for the fans of "Avatar," the casting is an even greater affront, not least because the show's primary target audience is six-to-11-year-olds -- kids who may not know the specifics of its references, but are undoubtedly aware of and attracted to its cultural origins.

"These are kids growing up with manga," Kim says. "They're not only comfortable with Asian concepts, they're fascinated by them. To think that they won't come to a live-action version unless it's cast with white actors -- that's really a shockingly ignorant viewpoint. These kids aren't watching Jackie Chan movies and thinking, 'Yikes! I wish he were a white guy!'"

All trailers look good. lol

yea, i'm probably going to see the movie anywaysx]
and yea, i'd prefer it, if at least the main actors are asian. And the actor for aang looks a lil too chubby

That's some seriously long cast time.

I guess 2/3 of the movie will involve channelling the qi and casting the skills. *sigh*

This is just like the DBZ crap. Will, not, see.

.

and WTF did they do to my Zuko Q___Q

M Night Shamylan is the director. His trailers usually look pretty nice, but the movies almost always suck.

Uurgh, It looked quite good until I saw aang's face.
The arrow looks retarded and he looks like a simpleton child.
