Some of the actors have been confirmed, according to this article on slashfilm.com. Here is said article:

...Seriously? Jesse McCartney? Don't get me wrong, I love his voice contributions to play Roxas (I really, really do), but I doubt he'd be suited for such a role. And this "Nicola Peltz", to play Katara, isn't exactly olive skinned. Where's the authenticity? :-\

I would rather save my judgment until I see a preview. Plus Katara and Sokka will most likely be brown via tanning or a good make up department. Good old fashion movie making, something people seem to dislike nowadays because they enjoy being retards. So I'm not judging until I see a preview. Teasers useally don't count.

But I swear, the scar won't suit him... at all. :-\

He could probably pull it off, if you die his hair black or dark brown. He fits the part more than Basco, even though that is his voice. I hate him, plus he is an ex-Disney Channel pop whore who is basically an Aaron Carter ripoff anyways. Also who in the heck is Roxy?

His actual name is Roxas, and he's my favorite character from Kingdom Hearts ((I call him Roxy)). XDD

Like, I don't know, I'd prefer seeing someone with more of an affirmative backbone than Jesse McCartney. He doesn't have Zuko's raspy, malevolent voice. As seen in this Kingdom Hearts II pre-release video, I doubt he'd suit him.

I still think his persona, voice, and attitude isn't very fitting for Zuko.

If you feel like their should be an all Asian cast for the movie. You are required by their law to visit this website. aang-aint-white.livejournal.com/ Apparently Zutarians are not the only ones unhappy by the final outcome.

Also who is GanXingba and why should I care about somebody off of a video hosting website?

From MTV, here's Jackson Rathbone's take on The Last Airbender:

"I'm focusing mostly on music and another movie I have coming up. We're going to be working on 'The Last Airbender' with M. Night Shyamalan, so that's very exciting."

"It was great. They flew us all out to Philly," Rathbone remembered of his audition. "I got to meet the other castmembers that they hired on. I got to read with them, even. It was a blast. It was a great chance to get a free trip to Philly and get a chance to meet M. Night. He's an incredibly nice guy, and I think we hit it off pretty well, and now I get to play Sokka."

"It's a fantastic show," Rathbone said of the Nickelodeon animated series. "I've always loved that kind of deep, mythical fantasy. It's got a lot about the four elements: water, fire, earth, wind. It's just really cool. It's a really interesting series and such a cool character. I've always liked the show, and I thought it would be fun.

"For me, it's a great chance to show my range a little bit more," Rathbone added, comparing Sokka to his "Twilight" character. "It's a chance to do something a little funnier. Something less serious than Jasper."

Due in theaters in summer 2010, "Airbender" has already begun to face a bit of controversy over the casting of white actors like Rathbone, Ringer and McCartney to play Asian characters — a concern the actor was quick to dismiss. "I think it's one of those things where I pull my hair up, shave the sides, and I definitely need a tan," he said of the transformation he'll go through to look more like Sokka. "It's one of those things where, hopefully, the audience will suspend disbelief a little bit."

He's also excited to work with Shyamalan on what's not only being envisioned as a trilogy, but also as an eagerly anticipated departure from the director's typical "thriller with a twist" flicks. "I think 'Airbender' has a lot of suspenseful twists as a TV show, but I think it's something he's really looking forward to, for expanding his own horizons," Rathbone said. "He has kids. How many films has he made that his kids would be able to watch? So I think it's really great that he's making a family film. I have a sister; it's exciting to make a film that my whole family can enjoy."

So, soon enough, Rathbone will put down his banjo-lele and pick up a badass sword.

"It's just an action-packed, epic film," he beamed. "I'm starting to do martial-arts training, which is going to be so much fun, and we're doing a lot of interesting work with the green screen. It's such a mythical world. We get to go to Asia, go film abroad. It's just going to be such a blast."

I know who he is, however he is still just a regular nobody on the internet. Just like everyone else. Anyone who thinks they could get their way for something is just plain retarded. This still implies the Zutarians as well for wanting to change the series finally and possibly going to write Shyamalan letters on getting McCartney/Peltz together for live action Zutara.

Also I have a feeling that M Night's daughter is going to be making a cameo. Maybe she might be Meng.

Y'know, considering that this Noah Ringer is a twelve year old kid and Nicola Peltz is at least fourteen years old, it might actually remind people that the concept of a twelve year old making out with an older teenager seems ridiculous.

More info! The young, pre-Avatar actor of Aang may, in fact, may have been cast. Who knows? Maybe the movie will dive further into Aang's past. Anyway, check him out:
