The Verge

The 2010 live-action movie based on the Nickelodeon animated series flopped under director M. Night Shyamalan. But Netflix announced today its working on a live-action series with original creators and showrunners Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. “We’re thrilled for the opportunity to helm this live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender,” the pair said in a statement. “We can’t wait to realize Aang’s world as cinematically as we always imagined it to be, and with a culturally appropriate, non-whitewashed cast. It’s a once-in-a-lifetime chance to build upon everyone’s great work on the original animated series and go even deeper into the characters, story, action, and world-building.”
