new cast photos from the last airbender


Some new character headshots from The Last Airbender movie recently surfaced on the web, courtesy of some German fansite. As you can see, Dev Patel plays the villain Zuko. While the others -- Aang, Sokka and Katara -- well, I guess they're not going with that brilliant spray tan idea.

If you haven't heard, or it isn't plainly obvious, except for a few minor roles, most of the characters from the Asian-inspired world of the popular Nickelodeon animated series have been magically changed to white for M. Night Shyamalan's live-action adaptation.

The production is well underway, and there's no stopping this ship now. No doubt, the studio powers-that-be simply don't care about this issue. This movie is a giant disasteroid hurtling toward July 2, 2010. For more info about the race issues surrounding this movie, go to racebending.com.
