New Episodes Start Again In July & Nick Releases NYCC Trailer

Also, we never really were able to get an update just focused on the awesome New York Comic Con panel hosted by Dave Roman and friends at Nick Magazine. It was a blast and was attended by many of the fans who decided to make it a double header with the creators panel the following day.

A huge amount of original fan art and fan videos were shown at the panel, including the megahit "Avatar: The Last Puppetbender" video short made by Kevin Coppa. Click on the link above or logo at right to see it first hand on youtube!

The awesome animation site Toon Zone has published a fantastic interview with Avatar creators Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko. The interview was conducted after the NYCC Avatar panel last Saturday.

In the article Mike and Bryan reveal that they really enjoy the fan focus on romance and shipping. Mike comments:

"We knew there would be some tension, but it wasn't like we were going to play that up too much, so it's cool to see people getting into that romance stuff."

Further, the creators said that they have a new idea for a new Avatar story about a different incarnation of the Avatar other than Aang. It's unclear whether they meant a new series, a tv movie or something else entirely. However, Bryan went on to comment:

"But, we don't know. We'll see if we can get to make it. There are things that we control and things we don't. That's all I can say."

Avatar To End In July With Broadcast of Series Finale

The NYCC panel with Mike and Bryan was full of great clips and lots of news. One of the most important things to come out of the hour long panel was the news that the show will end in July with the broadcast of the four part show finale.

We did tape the whole panel, but have only just uploaded the trailer. Sorry for the delay, the convention center wireless connection was so slow our computer ran out of batteries before we could upload it! Of course, the trailer is loaded with spoilers (as will the other clips we will upload tonight or tomorrow), so don't watch if you don't want spoilers! For those who do watch it, sorry in advance for the camera flashes, the audience was very enthusiastic so they were pretty much unavoidable.

There were also tons of other folks who were taping the panel and many versions of the trailer are already all over the internet. Many of these are linked in our NYCC discussion strings in the forum, so head over and check them out too!

Other clips included a scene from 312, The Western Air Temple, a clip from Zuko rehearsing a speech to the Avatar, and a hilarious segment from 317, "The Ember Island Players". Check THEM OUT NOW!

NYCC Starts Today!

Just a last minute reminder that NYCC starts today! The exhibition room floor opens at 3PM EST, though some panels start earlier. Click on the NYCC logo at left to go to the convention website for location and ticket availability information.

The first Avatar panel, run by Dave Roman and the Nick Mag folks, starts at 6PM and runs for an hour. In addition to the fun and games at the panel, a cosplay photoshoot will take place right after. The second panel is with show creators Mike & Bryan and will start at 3PM EST and run for one hour.

Both events will also be available to everyone who can't be there in a live podcast brought to you by Avatar Portal and Dongbu Feng! For those who can't even catch the podcast, there will surely be plenty of panel videos and con reports posted online as well soon after each panel is over, so don't worry!

Release Date & Title For First Avatar Movie Confirmed

Variety.com has published a short article on the upcoming live action Avatar movies. Specifically, the release date and the film title has been released. Apparently Nick is hoping to create a summer blockbuster, as Variety is reporting here that the first film is due for theatrical release on July 2nd, 2010.

The title of this first film will be "The Last Airbender." The word "Avatar" was dropped from the title as a way to escape the conflict with director James Cameron's film, also called "Avatar", due for release around the same time.
