Мир разделен на четыре Народа: Воды, Земли, Воздуха и Огня. У каждого Народа есть Предводитель, который обладает способностями управлять своей стихией. Они называют себя Магами Воды, Земли, Огня и Воздуха. Сильнейший Властелин мира и единственный, кто может управлять всеми четырьми стихиями, - Аватар - воскресает для каждого Народа раз в сто лет.
Когда жестокий Народ Огня угрожает поработить Народы Воды, Земли и Воздуха, непокорному и озорному мальчишке предстоит встретить свою судьбу, судьбу Аватара, избранного, которому суждено восстановить мировой порядок.
«Аватар: Легенда об Аанге» - это история Аанга, двенадцатилетнего мальчика, который просто хотел жить обычной жизнью, но в его судьбу вмешалось появление долгожданного Аватара. Аанг призван возглавить борьбу с жестоким Народом Огня, чтобы восстановить равновесие в разобщенном войной мире. Аанг отправляется в опасное путешествие, чтобы спасти мир. Ему помогают юная, но отважная Маг Воды по имени Катара и ее простодушный брат-воин по имени Сокка.

UPDATE: Since we published this story, Variety has announced that Paramount is calling the movie simply The Last Airbender, to avoid confusion with James Cameron's Avatar, and that the movie has been given a US release date of July 2, 2010.

If you're a person who laments the decline of the Saturday morning kids cartoon genre, then you should really check out Avatar: The Last Airbender. It may not currently be on TV (we've not been getting up early), but it's available on DVD and it's properly brilliant; beautifully animated and very well written for kids' entertainment. M Night Shyamalan is currently in pre-production adapting the cartoon into a movie trilogy, so now is really the time to get yourself familiar with it.

We chatted with Shyamalan recently and he filled us in on a few details of the movie. For those who don't know the show, he explains the plot thusly:

"The actual plot is in a place where there are four tribes of people. And these people each have people within their tribe that have mastery over one element: water, earth, fire or air. They all live in a balance and harmony and once every generation there is born an individual who can bend - that is manipulate -all four of those elements and thereby keep a balance between all. They are kind of a Buddha figure to some extent. The story is about how, in this particular time, this avatar is born into the airbenders and disappears. Then all hell breaks loose and the fire nation basically commits genocide and eradicates the air tribe in the hopes of killing the avatar and taking over control of everything. This child then re-emerges, which is the beginning of our story. He reappears having been frozen in the ice — there is a whole story about how that happens — a hundred years later and this world is all fucked up and he is the last airbender, but he doesn’t want this job. He’s forced into the position of putting the world back together again. It actually has a lot of Shakespearean overtones to it. There’s lots of family angst, and fathers denying sons in different storylines."

That all clear? Short version is, there's a small boy called Aang who has the potential to control all the elements and everyone wants to capture him. Shyamalan says it was the mythology and philosophy inherent in the story that attracted him to it.

"Buddhist and Hindu philosophies run through the stuff," he continues. "When I realised that is what it was, it really drew me as the template for putting storytelling on a new level. There is a kind of thread that connects Star Wars and The Matrix – the first one. That same thread is in this story, about a forgotten belief system, or the illusion of the world now."

Of course, philosophy doesn't necessarily guarantee bums on seats. But this is a film that has a great deal of potential for incredible spectacle. The most powerful of the element benders can do great things with their powers, like controlling a raging river or manipulating walls of flame. Done right, this should have some incredible action.

"Obviously [there will be] some breathtaking visual effects," the director says. "Just imagine if you saw a little girl bending water out of a glass into the air as an extension of her own personal discipline. It’s three movies about the hero learning three elements. Live action".

But, equally, Shyamalan doesn't want the film, which he says will shoot on stages in Philadelphia, as well as locations including Greenland, to simply be an excuse for empty spectacle. He also acknowledges that this is a long way from anything he's done before. It's got the philosophical elements he likes, but it's also painting on a much larger canvas than any of his other films and speaking to a younger audience.

"It’s daunting on the level of not doing it properly," he admits. "It can’t be special effects for the sake of special effects, it has to be [that you use] take seven because the girl breathes properly on take seven. I have to tell the animators that. Everything, has to have that detail. I can’t leave it. I have to make sure that I make it the same kind of storytelling, but with just one more tool."

Like we say, this is very different to anything Shyamalan's done before, but we can really see him making this work. Whether you like all his movies or not, you can't deny the man is blessed with a lot of imagination. And that's exactly what a project like this needs – someone who can wrestle the multiple ideas of the show into a simple, coherent and visually amazing film. This should, and hopefully will be, fantastic.

For more from Shyamalan, including extensive discussion of his new film The Happening, pick up the next issue of Empire, on sale April 25.

"Поиски". Сказка для Джиноры

Не успели отгреметь финальные фанфары первого сезона "Легенды о Корре", как издательство "Dark Horse" объявило, что Ген Луэн Янг и Гурихиру вернутся к сотрудничеству во второй серии рисованных новелл по "Легенде об Аанге" под названием "Поиски"/"The Search", в которой будет расследоваться самая большая нераскрытая тайна сериала: что же случилось с мамой принца Зуко?
Когда комикс появится на прилавках магазинов, на данный момент неизвестно, но понятно, что мы точно не увидим его раньше третьей части "Обещания", выход которой запланирован на сентябрь 2012 года.

Репортёр Comic Book Resources News пообщался с Геном Луэн Янгом (Gene Luen Yang), давним поклонником сериала "Аватар: Легенда об Аанге" и непосредственным создателем новеллы "Обещание", и задал множество вопросов, в том числе и о его новой работе. Полный текст интервью в переводе можно прочитать здесь. Ну и для затравки:

...CBR News: В эти выходные вы объявили, что следующей минисерией в череде комиксов по "Аватару", публикуемой издательством "Dark Horse", станет новелла "Поиски". Как поклоннику оригинального мультфильма "Аватар: Легенда об Аанге" мне очень импонирует название будущего комикса, относящееся к давно пропавшей матери Зуко. Что вы можете рассказать о нем?

Ген Льюэн Янг: Не знаю, сколько мне можно рассказать, но вы правы! Это совершенно невероятно. Как почти все поклонники "Легенды об Аанге", я просто дыхание затаил на той сцене в последнем эпизоде, когда Зуко встречается с Озаем. Как Майк и Брайан могли оставить нас вот так, в подвешенном состоянии?! В последней серии, без всякой надежды на ответ! И сейчас, когда я могу наконец сам дать ответ на этот вопрос, я чувствую себя, как уже сказал, совершенно невероятно.

CBR News: Кроме названия книги, можете ли вы рассказать поклонникам что-нибудь о сюжете "Поисков" и куда он приведет Команду "Аватар"?

Ген Льюэн Янг: Мне всегда очень нравились элементы сверхъестественного во вселенной Аватара. События финала первого сезона были моим любимым моментом в сериале. Мы не обращались к сверхъестественному в "Обещании", поскольку история эта была сфокусирована на политических последствиях окончания войны. Но счастлив сообщить...

The Legend Of Korra primeste noi episoade

Dupa succesul inregistrat de prima parte a sequelului Avatar: The Last Airbender, Nickelodeon a comandat inca 26 de episoade pentru The Legend Of Korra. 26 de episoade in plus fata de cele de care stiam ca vor alcatui Book 2. Astfel, in 2013 va aparea sezonul 1, Book 2, urmand ca (probabil) in 2014 sa aiba premiera sezonul 2 cu Book 3, urmat apoi de Book 4, ajungandu-se la un numar total de 52 de episoade.
