Twelve-year-old black belt Noah Ringer portrays Aang, the last air bender.
Dev Patel, known as Jamal from Slumdog Millionaire, portrays Zuko, prince of the fire nation.
I have one problem with the article:
"Ringer didn't need to alter much to play Aang, who uses martial arts to manipulate the weather. Like Aang, Ringer keeps his head shaved and is an expert in martial arts."Aang doesn't manipulate the weather. Moving on :)
One picture I want to see is of Jackson Rathbone, or Jasper from Twilight, as Sokka. In Twilight he hardly showed any emotion, but that is part of the role. Apparently he is a pretty funny guy, which is important since Sokka is the sole comic relief.
With all the different element bending there will have to be a lot of good special effects. But with Michael Dante DiMartino, one of the original creators, working on the film the story should be preserved well. Having watched the series, I am hoping and praying this will turn out well. The plan seems to be to make a movie for each of the three books (Water, Earth, Fire) the same as the original series.
The cartoon series ended last year with Book Three: Fire.
The Last Airbender is set to be released July 2, 2010.
6/19 Update:
I don't know how I missed this picture, but it came out around the same time as these other two did.
Thank you LastAirbenderFans.comWell, he has the same facial expression that Zuko had. For the entire first book. But how he changes throughout the series will undoubtedly be the most compelling aspect of the story, even if it's centered around Aang and that Fire Lord guy ;)

Which is disappointing, that it ended.
I remember watching the reruns of all the episodes the week before. I was so sad. Reportedly the creaters want to tell some different stories, but they won't be centered around the fire nation.
