New Making Of Featurette For Netflix's AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER
Netflix has released a 4-minute-long making-of featurette from their live-action series adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender. The video takes us behind-the-scenes and features interviews with the cast and crew talking about the project and what we can expect from it. This looks like it could be a good show, and we’ll see if it actually delivers soon when it’s released. I hope they managed to pull this off.
The series' main cast features: Gordon Cormier as Aang, Kiawentiio as Katara, Ian Ousley as Sokka, plus Dallas Liu as Zuko, Paul Sun-Hyung Lee as Iroh, Daniel Dae Kim as Fire Lord Ozai, Tamlyn Tomita as Yukari, Ken Leung as Zhao.
Water. Earth. Fire. Air. The four nations once lived in harmony, with the Avatar, master of all four elements, keeping peace between them. But everything changed when the Fire Nation attacked and wiped out the Air Nomads, the first step taken by the firebenders towards conquering the world. With the current incarnation of the Avatar yet to emerge, the world has lost hope. But like a light in the darkness, hope springs forth when Aang (Gordon Cormier), a young Air Nomad — and the last of his kind — reawakens to take his rightful place as the next Avatar. Alongside his newfound friends Sokka (Ian Ousley) and Katara (Kiawentiio), siblings and members of the Southern Water Tribe, Aang embarks on a fantastical, action-packed quest to save the world and fight back against the fearsome onslaught of Fire Lord Ozai (Daniel Dae Kim). With a driven Crown Prince Zuko (Dallas Liu) determined to capture them, it won't be an easy task. They'll need help from many allies and colorful characters they meet along the way.
The creative team behind the series includes Albert Kim (Sleepy Hollow), who is writing the series and acting as showrunner. Kim will also executive produce the show alongside Dan Lin, Lindsey Liberatore, Michael Goi, and Roseanne Liang. The directors of the series include Jabar Raisani, Goi, and Liang.
The series is set to premiere on February 22, 2024.
