Do you wonder what the creators are saying about the adaptation? Albert Kim was recently quoted as saying, “We’ll be expanding and growing the world, and there will be surprises for existing fans and those new to the tale”. “But throughout this process, our byword has been ‘authenticity.’ To the story. To the characters. To the cultural influences. Authenticity is what keeps us going, both in front of the camera and behind it, which is why we’ve assembled a team unlike any seen before — a group of talented and passionate artists who are working around the clock to bring this rich and incredibly beautiful world to life.”
Original Avatar creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko were originally on board as executive producers. However, the two parted ways with the Netflix production release in 2020.
Also in recent news, Avatar will be getting a full animated feature film in 2025! If successful, it will be the first of three planned animated Avatar films collaborated on by Paramount and Nickelodeon.
