Trailer for live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender (probably) coming Thursday, Nov 9

It’s been a long time since we heard that Netflix was producing a live-action remake of Avatar: The Last Airbender, one of the most beloved animated series of all times. The original show is set in a world inspired by East Asian cultures where select people can control the elements: earth, air, water and fire. However, only one person — the Avatar — can control all four. This generation, that person is a young airbender named Aang, and it’s up to him to bring peace to a world at war.

The original show is excellent; there’s a reason fans still love it well over a decade after it wrapped up on Nickelodeon. Today, Netflix dropped the first poster for the remake, which features Aang and his friends Katara and Sokka riding on Aang’s flying bison Appa:

Netflix also promises that tomorrow, November 9, we’ll get our “first full look at Avatar: The Last Airbender.” To me, that only means one thing: a trailer is coming.

Avatar: The Last Airbender trailer is coming tomorrow

Avatar: The Last Airbender has been adapted to live-action before: in 2010, director M. Knight Shamalyn released The Last Airbender, a movie that adapted roughly the first season of the animated show. Generally speaking, it was hated by fans and critics alike, who derided it for its wooden acting, shoddy special effects, and dour vibe. And then there are scenes like this:

Look at that rock fly slooooooowly across the screen. Netflix’s remake will have to be a good deal more exciting than this if it wants to make fans happy. By tomorrow, we’ll have a much better idea where we stand.
