Before the upcoming Netflix movie, Avatar had another live-action version made in 2010. However, the film directed by M. Night Shyamalan was not as successful as expected, despite creating resonated but comes with a title that any filmmaker does not want to mention – “cinema disaster”.

Since 2020, Netflix has made no secret of its remake project and recruited the creative duo of the original animation, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, to join the production process. However, by the end of 2020, the duo withdrew from the project and since then, no news related to Avatar: The Last Airbender has been revealed.​​

It was thought that the project had been “covered” and forgotten, but recently, some reports indicated that the film would still be made, namely, it will start filming in November and is expected to close in the middle of next year. . However, there is currently no information about the main plot or movie content, we only know that the shooting location is in Vancouver, Canada.

There is bad news for Netflix, that is, the creator of Avatar – Nickelodeon has just founded Avatar Studios. It is not known if this studio will compete directly with the upcoming live-action film, but Netflix should still be careful and invest carefully in its products so as not to be “deprecated” in public.
