new last airbender posters

Paramount just released two new teaser posters for this summer's live-action big screen adaptation of The Last Airbender, directed by M. Night Shyamalan. That's Dev Patel as Zuko and Noah Ringer as Aang.

You know, the more I see from this movie, the more ridiculous it becomes. If you haven't heard by now, the Asian-inspired heroes of the popular Nickelodeon cartoon have been magically transformed into white people for the movie version.

Meanwhile, the good folks at Racebending continue their efforts to create awareness about The Last Airbender's casting debacle. They recently created a pretty informative and educational video series, The Last Airbender Film: How to Talk About It .

Basically, it gives people helpful pointers for talking about The Last Airbender, explaining why this casting is so problematic, and why fans are so passionate about this issue. For more informatio, go to the Racebending website here.
