The Last Airbender New Trailer
Shit yeah.
The casting is messed up as hell, but this movie looks cool as hell. And honestly, I hope its kickass because I want a second movie so that I can see the fierce bitches below on a large-ass movie screen.
Especially my crazy bb Azula!
Also, I saw Agora with Rachel Weisz last night. It was amazing, wonderful, beautiful, heart-breaking and captivating. I highly, highly, highly, highly recommend it.
Director/Writers: Alejandro Amenábar
Cast: Rachel Weisz ♥, Max Minghella
Plot Outline: A historical drama set in Roman Egypt, concerning a slave who turns to the rising tide of Christianity in the hopes of pursuing freedom while also falling in love with his master, the famous female philosophy professor and atheist Hypatia of Alexandria.
Genre(s): Adventure | Drama | History | Romance
Certification: USA: PG-13 (equivalent; no actual US rating yet)
Language: English
Links: CD1, CD2
IMPORTANT:
*This very helpful text was written by original uploader*
The film is a Spanish production, and it has some text in Spanish, merely to provide information, at some points throughout the movie. I'm assuming the reason why these are in Spanish and not English when the entire film is in English is that they were lifted straight from the Spanish production. Here then is the text (Spanish is my native language, but they have some tricky words in there, so apologies if they're not precisely 100% on the money.)
Text is on screen 4 times. Here they are in the order (and time of appearance) they come in.
CD1 - 35seconds in: Towards the end of the IV century, the Roman empire had begun to collapse. Alexandria, in the Egyptian province, still conserved part of its splendor. It possessed one of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World: the legendary Lighthouse, and the largest known Library. The Library was not only a cultural symbol but a religious one, a place where the Pagans venerated their ancestral gods. The traditional pagan cult coexisted now in the city with the Jews, and with an unstoppable religion, until recently prohibited: Christianity.
CD1 - 3:21seconds in: Library at Alexandria, 391AD
CD2 - 3:38seconds in: After the capture of the Library, many Pagans converted to Christianity, and Alexandria lived a period of peace. Hypatia continued teaching and researching, while her disciples occupied important posts in the social elite. The Empire divided in two forever more. Many Christians saw this as a signal of the end times and decided to prepare by practicing a more holy life. The order of Parabolan monks was in charge of rounding the streets to safeguard Christian morality, now only disturbed by the presence of the Jews.
The Library, years later...
THIS PART CONTAINS SPOILERS, SO DON'T READ UNTIL AFTER YOU'VE SEEN THE FULL MOVIE.
CD2 - Before closing credits: The body of Hypatia was mutilated and her remains dragged through the streets and burned. Orested disappeared forever and Cirilo obtained the power in Alexandria. Later on, Cirilo was declared a Saint and Doctor by the Church. There is no written work by Hypatia, but it is known that she was an exceptional astronomer, known for her mathematical studies about coned curves. 1200 years later, on the XVII century, astronomer Johannes Kepler discovered that one of those curves, the ellipsis, ruled the movement of the planets.
And finally, thank goodness it's a long weekend! I need sleep. Lots and lots of sleep.

Date: 2010-02-11 11:04 pm (UTC)I know! The trailers haven't quite left me shaking and crying, but maybe shaking! I just really, really, really, really wanna see it!
That movie better be good.
Because I need to see my bb Azula on the big screen too!
This. All I really want from this movie is for it to make enough money to guarentee a sequel. Azula is where its at. I'm so sad that they couldn't find a way to get her crazy ass in the first movie.

Date: 2010-02-11 10:35 pm (UTC)Also, Toph is the most badass character on the show besides Iroh, trufax.
I'm not planning to see the Avatar movie because of the racefail casting (at the least, I won't pay money for it...), but I may well end up taking my littlest sister to it anyways. Such is life ^.^
no subject
Date: 2010-02-11 11:07 pm (UTC)Oh, I know. She's a complete nutter, but she's so badass and funny and hot. She scares me, but that kind of turns me on. Oh, Azula.
Also, Toph is the most badass character on the show besides Iroh, trufax.
Heh. True. I love Iroh. When I heard a voice that had to be Iroh in the trailer I squeed a little.
I'm not planning to see the Avatar movie because of the racefail casting (at the least, I won't pay money for it...), but I may well end up taking my littlest sister to it anyways. Such is life ^.
I fully acknowledge the epic race fail in this movie, but I guess I'm a bad person because I know I'm going to pay money to see it in the theaters anyway ):
no subject
Date: 2010-02-11 11:27 pm (UTC)Pretty much this. Her awkwardness during The Beach was adorable as well (now, there is a word I thought I'd never use to describe Azula. Ty Lee, yes, but not so much our resident psycho fire princess!)
I fully acknowledge the epic race fail in this movie, but I guess I'm a bad person because I know I'm going to pay money to see it in the theaters anyway ):
Heh. It's not so much as a "I'm actively not going to see it" thing as it is that I'm way to busy to see movies in theatres most of the time and am not going to go out of my way to see a racefail movie :)

Amazing. Stunning. Panty-dampening. Megan Fox.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-12 12:12 am (UTC)I can't see Toph, the blind earth-bender, in the casting. Did they even cast that part? If not: MAJOR FAIL. She's my absolute favorite in that series. The most kick-ass.
Zuko doesn't even have a scar. *sigh*
no subject
Date: 2010-02-13 04:49 pm (UTC)The movies are planned as a trilogy, just like the series had three books. So Toph isn't in the first one, just like she wasn't in the first book of the show. If the film does well, Toph would be in the second movie. Hence my insane wishing that this movie does well, so that I can see toph and azula on screen.
Zuko doesn't even have a scar. *sigh*
He has one, but it not very obvious :( You can't really see it when Dev has the helmet on, but I've seen it other pictures. Still, its very faint, whereas it should really be the first thing you notice about Zuko. He's supposed to be horribly scared, not just some minor scarring that barely effects his looks *sigh*

Date: 2010-02-12 12:53 am (UTC)um...because i'm such a mega-super duper fan...i know despite how cool it looks, it will be all wrong and miss the point completely especially since i noticed a gigantic symbol of christianity on aang's back...dear lord why did they let m. night sham-ma-lama ding-dong near my precious avatar :(
no subject
Date: 2010-02-13 04:53 pm (UTC)I did. My Avatar friend finally made me sit down and watch a bunch of episodes in a row, and once I did I was hooked.
it will be all wrong and miss the point completely especially since i noticed a gigantic symbol of christianity on aang's back...dear lord why did they let m. night sham-ma-lama ding-dong near my precious avatar :(
We all know the casting is absolute fail, but M. Night seems to be a fan, so I'm hoping he doesn't mess things up too much. Really, I think I'm just living in denial about this movie because I want to see it. Hopefully I won't walk out of it wanting to punch and kick people because he effed everything up so badly. *optomist is being optomistic*

Date: 2010-02-12 01:27 am (UTC)And as for The Last Airbender? Dude. Duuuuuuuuuuude. Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. I'm so fecking excited for it. Like, yeah. And shit.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-13 04:55 pm (UTC)I know right. Bravo to the person that was able to sit down and critically look at Megan Fox and figure out a way how to make her look even fucking sexier. If that I had my job I would have spent the whole time in my bunk, lol.
Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude. I'm so fecking excited for it. Like, yeah. And shit.
Me too! It cannot be July soon enough. I was iffy about the movie at first, but the trailer have got me super excited.

Date: 2010-02-12 03:12 am (UTC)And I'm a Katara girl myself, but my girl is totally a Toph. :P
I don't think there is a teenager alive awesome enough to play Azula.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-13 05:06 pm (UTC)Heh. After seeing the trailers I've just given up on the idea of not seeing the movie. Their too good. they've done their job. I'll be buying a ticket opening weekend.
And I'm a Katara girl myself, but my girl is totally a Toph. :P
I love Katara too. toph's snark earns her a special place in my heart, just like azula's crazy saves her a space there too, lol.
I don't think there is a teenager alive awesome enough to play Azula.
lol! Well, they'll probably go with someone in their early twenties for Azula, like Dev and Jackson Rathbone as Sokka.
Still, they better cast Azula carefully, because the girl they pick has to be AWESOME! they better search higih and low to find somebody worthy.
no subject
Date: 2010-02-13 05:58 pm (UTC)I don't think there is a female character on the show that I didn't love. It's the boys that annoyed me, and that was only every now and then.
I doubt they care that much about casting anyone right, much less Azula. I mean come on. They were gonna cast Jesse McCartney!

Date: 2010-02-13 05:09 pm (UTC)It is a most excellent combination. Stunning and magnificent.
I'd say that I hope you'll it, but it's rachel in a toga so I know that you will ;)
sounds like it should be right up my alley since my alley has a jones for all things historical.
The sets and costumes and cinematography are stunning. I too love all things historical, especially Roman, and I was in heaven watching this film.
P.S. that picture rocks. Sooo funny!
:D
Date: 2010-02-12 04:45 pm (UTC)I'm still excited about the movie, even with the casting. I really want there to be a second one so I can see Toph and her snark. And Azula and her crazy.
Re: :D

These are my feelings exactly. I know the casting is totally messed up, but I've accepted the fail of the casting and moved on. The trailers look really good, and I just want to go in and enjoy the bending on the big screen. Well, that and I want it to make money so that we get a sequel.

Lucky duck seeing it first! I'm just glad I was able to see it at all. I don't think it has a North American distrubutor which means if it wasn't for the wonderful internet I never would have gotten a chance to see this gem.

Btw, I saw Percy Jackson (super bad quality but I couldnt wait lol), and Alexandra made me change my underwear... I have a problem with women + swords

Date: 2010-02-15 12:47 am (UTC)The Airbender movie looks soooo good! I've never even heard of the tv show. I actually really like M. Night, and his movies are usually very good (outside of the utter fail of The Happening.. but hey, everyone has to have one bad movie.)
ty for Agora!
Spanish is my native language
Really? That is so cool bb! (But I thought you were from Canada? *is confused* Don't they speak English and French in Canada?)

The Airbender movie looks soooo good! I've never even heard of the tv show.
The TV show is really, really good. In took me a few episodes to get into the first season, but I did and the second and third season blew me out of the water. Really good show.
I doubt the movie will be nearly as good, but the movie does look like it will be cool as hell, so I'm in :)
ty for Agora!
You're most welcome!
Really? That is so cool bb! (But I thought you were from Canada? *is confused* Don't they speak English and French in Canada?)
I am Canadian, and a lowly one at that who can only speak English (French is our other national language though). I just copied that text from the place I got the download, and that poster was Spanish. I didn't even realize that line about being a native Spanish speaker was in there *facepalm*
