Shyamalan spares no detail in nailing all the subtle nuances of the franchise's original designs. Based on the animated series "Avataar: The Last Airbender"the film promises to be a remarkably faithful adaptation of the shows first season.

The movie begins with Aang as the young and fun-loving successor to a long line of Avatars. This doesn't last for long as he is forced to put his childhood aside in order to overthrow the evil Fire Nation. When Aang needs to level-up his airbending ways, he always has his collapsible glider-staff at the ready. The young boy's prominent features are his blue, arrow-shaped tattoos that run up his hands, feet and forehead, along with his yellow and orange American Apparel Air Temple garb.

In the film, Noah Ringer probably looks most like his character, but whether or not the kid can crack a smile remains to be seen. It looks like Aang maintains his blue tattoos, but they appear to be more intricately detailed and subdued. He still wears the yellow shirt and pants, but his orange poncho is swapped out for a darker, hooded cape, naturally.

Katara is a powerful waterbender from the South Pole who finds and frees Aang from a block of ice and subsequently assumes the role of his "romantic interest." Katara wears a treasured Water Tribe necklace that was given to her just before her mother died. Katara is best known for her blue tunic/overcoat combo and her trademark "hair loppies", and yep, that's the technical term for them.

While the live-action Katara (Nicola Peltz) gets to keep the hair loopies, it seems that they have gone with her longer hairstyle from season three as opposed to her season one singular braid. The tunic and necklace look pretty spot-on, with the obligatory cinematic details added in. Her coat, however, is now beige instead of blue. Sokka is Katara's sarcastic and cynical brother, also from the South Pole. While he has no bending powers to speak of, Sokka is still a formidable opponent with his trusty boomerang and club. He usually wears a blue tunic and coat not unlike his sister, and always keeps his hair pulled back into a small ponytail.

Though we haven't seen it in the trailers, the theatrical posters show that Sokka will definitely be getting some action. Like Katara, he will get to keep his blue tunic and hairstyle, and he also gets a color switch on his overcoat. For every great hero there has to be a villain, Prince Zuko is the hot-headed firebender, is the villain in the film.

Zuko after facing exile from his father's empire is sent out to capture the Avatar in order to restore his honor. Before banishment Zuko was given an unsightly facial scar to serve as a constant reminder of his outspoken foolishness. Taking to the seas, Zuko bares the crimson armor of Fire Nation royalty and pulls his hair into a long ponytail on top of his otherwise naked scalp.

Live-Action Zuko is portrayed by Slumdog's own Dev Patel, who ditches the ponytail altogether in favor of a short, spiky haircut (similar to Zuko's look in season two). His scar can still be seen across his eye, but it's substantially less noticeable and not nearly as grotesque. While his armor is still similar in design, its color scheme is much darker, utilizing more blacks than reds. This could be one of the movies which may stay with you for a long time - the experience and the story. Stated to release on 9th July, get your calendars marked.
