Netflix has finally released the teaser trailer for the highly anticipated live-action series adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender giving fans a first look at what this series will offer. The visuals of the series look great, but we have yet to see if they managed to tell a good story. I hope they can make it, especially after A piece series set such a high standard in terms of storytelling and character development.
The series’ synopsis reads: “Set in a war-torn Asian world, where some people can ‘bend’ one of the four classical elements: water, earth, fire or air,” reads the show’s official synopsis. “Aang (Gordon Cormier) is the “Avatar”, the only one capable of bending all the elements, and is destined to bring world peace from the Fire Nation. With her new companions Katara (Kiawentiio Tarbell ) and Sokka (Ian Ousley), Aang sets out to master the elements while being pursued by the exiled Fire Nation Prince Zuko (Daniel Dae Kim), who seeks to regain his honor by capturing the Avatar.”
The creative team behind the series includes Alberto Kim (The sleeping valley), who is writing the series and serving as showrunner. Kim will also be the executive producer of the show Dan Lin, Lindsey Liberatore, Michele GoiAND Roseanne Liang. The directors of the series include Jabar RaisaniGoi and Liang.
