Here at RealTVAddict we’ve had a lot to say about the latest M. Night Shyamalan film The Last Airbender. We talked about the crappy reviews, we talked about the controversy and finally, there’s something positive to behold.
In November 2011, fans will finally get to see the continuation of the Airbender story. Not on the big screen though, back on TV, where it started.
Paramount has announced that a new show rumored to be called Avatar: The Legend of Korra will be set 70 years in the future and feature a new Avatar, named Korra, who is related to “The Last Airbender” Aang, of the movie and the series. She has mastered three of the four elements and is trying to figure out how to bed the wind.
“Her quest leads her to the epicenter of the modern ‘Avatar’ world, Republic City — a metropolis that is fueled by Steampunk technology,” says a Nickelodeon press release. “It is a virtual melting pot where benders and non-benders from all nations live and thrive. However, Korra discovers that Republic City is plagued by crime as well as a growing anti-bending revolution that threatens to rip it apart.”
Sounds pretty awesome, no? Hopefully more information will be released in the future. Until then, though, check out this awesome photo that will give everyone an idea of the look of the series.

@renetta Well she could be related, not a directly anyway. Being that Aang and Katara went on to raise a family and got married, that makes sokka his brother-in-law, So Korra could be Sokka's great grandchild, because Korra is from the south pole.

Ummm technically you're both right. The Avatar is a reincarnation of the same person so technically speaking the new Avatar is "related" to Aang however she is not the direct child of Aang and Katara. Apparently that person (another Airbender) is going to be her teacher

I have been going over the numbers since reading some dubious movie sites that have been saying M. Night's film is a "success", yes I know, despite 98% of the critics in the US have said otherwise. Please feel free to research the validity since I took them off MovieMojo.com. The production budget for the film was 150 million (Marketing costs were another 130 million, but that’s another story) and so far it has made domestically $129,344,805 and since HALF goes to the theaters that show it, that amount is less than 65 million. Now if you add the the foreign gross (54 million) and we have about 188 million worldwide. However since half has to go to the theaters, the movie has only made less that 95 million so far after a month and a half. Still a failure in both counts. Listen we cannot let this director think his decisions were anything but ill advised and ridiculous. Give us some ideas to put the word out.
