M. Night Shyamalan est à la recherche de ses acteurs !
Les agences de casting américaines ont donc commencé à recevoir le descriptif de quatre des rôles, pour lesquels nous retrouvons bien entendu Aang, Katara, Sokka et le prince Zuko. Si l'acteur devant incarner le héros de l'histoire, Sokka et Zuko doivent avoir entre 16 et 20 ans. Peu importe les rôles, toutes les ethnies sont acceptées pour ces quatre-là. Pour des bios résumées en 3 lignes, on peut dire que les personnages correspondent bien à ceux que l'on a pu découvrir dans le dessin animé, sans changement majeur.
Le projet d'adaptation d'Avatar est actuellement en pré-production, pour un tournage dans quelques mois.

AANG
12-15 years-old, Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. We are looking for a young man to play the lead role in a motion picture franchise. He must be athletic and graceful with an ability in Martial Arts (not necessarily extensive experience, but at least an aptitude for it). Kids with experience in gymnastics, dance, or sports could also be good. He is a young adventurer and should seem like the type of young man who will grow up to be heroic.
KATARA
14-17 years-old, Female, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. She is Sokka's younger sister. She is a headstrong and determined girl with a real sense of idealism. She believes in herself and feels that she can play on the same team as the boys. She is beautiful, intelligent, passionate, feisty, and has a real sense of adventure.
SOKKA
16-20 years-old, Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. He is Katara¹s older brother. He is intelligent but awkward, and very funny (although not necessarily intentionally so). He aspires to greatness, but he tends to doubt himself. He is always one to be swayed by a pretty girl.
ZUKO
16-20 years-old, Male, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. He is a brooding, intense young man who wrestles - not always successfully - with being good. Regaining his honor is a driving impetus for him. He is extremely handsome and is the type of dangerous boy every girl falls in love with. Athletic and/or martial arts experience is a plus.
