BECAUSE THERE'S NO GOOD ASIAN ACTORS, ANYWHERE, THAT CAN DO THIS

Aaaaaand, this is why I had my doubts about this live-action Last Airbender movie idea of Shyamalan's.


The cast list: http://www.slashfilm.com/2008/12/10/first-look-the-cast-of-the-last-airbender/


Yep. You read right. They white-washed everyone. Zuko is being played by a blond pop-star.








I think I'm going to wibble over here in the corner for a bit. ;_____;

Well, can anyone put up a psuedo-cast of asian/indian actors for our beloved characters? (with pics)

I thought they would do a world wide casting call? Was I mistaken?

Haha, I already did! :D I didn't include any Indian actors, but now that I think about it Sokka or Katara could really be played by Indian actor/actresses.

And yeah, they really should have looked globally for the actors. You can't always find Americans of the appropriate ages/ethnicities, so it would have been nice if they could have branched out a bit.
