Avatar on Netflix: the new live-action seriesĬomplicating things further is that Netflix is already making a live-action TV series based on The Last Airbender. Netflix subscribers will, however, have something in the world of Avatar to watch soon – but it won't be from Avatar Studios.

It's likely that any Avatar content will end up on Paramount Plus, given Nickelodeon is a subsidiary of Paramount – and that means anyone hoping to watch the new Avatar series on Netflix may be disappointed. The studio will act as a subset of Nickelodeon, too, meaning that the availability of any upcoming TV shows or films on other platforms and streaming services is uncertain. Given the scope of Avatar Studios, though, DiMartino and Konietzko will be acting as co-chief creative officers rather than creative leads. That sounds great for continuity, though we’re hoping the creative team for any future projects includes more diversity – especially East Asian writers – compared to previous seasons of the show. We know that the co-creators of The Last Airbender, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, will be heading up the studio.

We could also see the film act as a bridge between The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra, or indeed a 'what happened next' feature following from the latter series.Īs you can see, it's very speculative at this point, but we expect a mix of returning faces and new settings to capitalize on the Avatar fandom. It could act as a refresher of sorts, revisiting the story of Aang before jumping off into different eras and story threads in follow-up TV series. We really don't know very much about the animated film already in the works at Avatar Studios. We can’t wait to build the great teams and productions to make all of this fantasy a reality” (via ScreenRant). "We’re excited to be back at Nickelodeon where Avatar began, doing what we do best in the biggest way possible. From the start, they’ve supported our ambitious plans and created a positive, proactive environment for us. We are exceedingly grateful to Brian Robbins and Ramsey Naito for their enthusiasm and respect for the Avatar property and us as its stewards. And with this new Avatar Studios venture we have an unparalleled opportunity to develop our franchise and its storytelling on a vast scale, in myriad exciting ways and mediums. "We are fortunate to have an ever-growing community of passionate fans that enjoy exploring the Avatarverse as much as we do. But even after all that time, there are still many stories and time periods in Aang’s world that we are eager to bring to life. In a statement released by Nickelodeon, Avatar's creators wrote that: “It’s hard to believe it’s been 19 years since we created Avatar: The Last Airbender. You should probably make friends with him now before he wins his millions and starts getting suspicious.Avatar: The Last Airbender (Image credit: Paramount Plus) I think this guy has a rock solid case against Cameron. The similarities being space travel, the time frame of 6 years vs five years, nine months and 22 days and blue aliens. Yes, a film Cameron spent 10 years making and which any Dungeons and Dragons dork could have come up with while living in their parent’s basement was specifically lifted from an obscure internet novel from 1997. I really wanted to argue back, ‘Why not?'” “Nobody was supportive and many asked why someone as famous as Cameron would copy an obscure work from a little-known author. “Over ten million people have read my book over the internet. “I realise that no-one knows me in China but I insist on fighting for my copyright,” he said.

“I wrote in my novel that their space journey took them six years but in Cameron’s movie the journey takes them five years, nine months and 22 days. It tells the story of an epic journey taken by six astronauts to a distant planet which is home to a race of blue-skinned beings. For example, Zhou Shaomou tells China Daily that 80% of the plot and key elements of Avatar were ripped straight from his 1997 Sci-Fi novel Tale of the Blue Crows. Now that Avatar has earned a billion dollars, people are coming out of the woodwork to sue James Cameron claiming his film too closely resembles their works of fiction.
