Update on the next live-action flick?

[the_tonberry]

If you've been following this, you've probably already seen it.  However, it looks as though the actors and actresses for Kevin, Gwen, and someone named Elena have been chosen.  Still not seeing a Ben, though.  I figured he'd be up because he was in the commercial, but my logic clearly has no place on imdb.

Nathan Keyes is cute, but he just doesn't

Oooh! Thanks for the update on the movie. :D

Hmm, I have mixed feelings on this. On one hand, there's going to be a live action film of Alien Force. Yay! On the other hand, live action films tend to suck. :P

Unless the "Ben" in the commercial was just a warm body for the sake of letting us know that there will be a live action movie, I figured that the actor would be listed by now...

Say what you will, but I liked the last live-action movie, mostly because it cast Ben in a less bratty light than the cartoon did. ^^;

No clue about this Elena character. If she's Ben's "love interest" in the flick, I'm going to go out and find a small child to take out my misdirected rage on. I hear elementary schools are full of them, so I might start there.

And what's this about M. Knight casting for a live-action Avatar movie?

They probably did just use some random guy to make the commercial. Otherwise, like you said, the actor playing Ben would have been listed by now.

LOL! Okay, I'll admit that the first live-action film wasn't too bad but the bad acting still made me wince a couple of times when I was watching it. At least we got Ben's hippie parents out of it though. That's something. ^o^

You know, she probably is Ben's love interest in the film. But maybe, she'll also turn out to be the villain of the film. Dun! Dun! Dun! Have they done the "Girlfriend is the Bad Guy" cliché in Ben 10 yet? Although, I guess you can say that Kevin kinda fulfilled that cliché. LOL!

A summary of the whole debacle can be read in this article. I don't know what's worse. The fact that they cast white actors to play Sokka and Katara, who clearly AREN'T white, or the fact that they're actually considering casting Jesse McCartney as Zuko. XP

Bad is sometimes what makes it good! :D I mean, where would I be at three AM without the trusty B-Movie channel that disappears during daylight hours?

That...That article is kind of full of shit, actually. M.Knight, you had The Sixth Sense and Premonition and the rest of your stuff has been kinda crappy... >(

Unless it's all a gag to throw hardcore fans off the scent and the Avatar movie turns out to be great...In which case, the internet will eat their words and look like a big bunch of jerks. XD

LOL! Well, I guess that's true! Sometimes the bad acting is just hilarious to watch. XD

Hmm, I think the casting is pretty much confirmed. The story has shown up in other news sources. So unless it's a gag like you said, it's going to be a train wreck to watch. Although, I guess I shouldn't assume the worst until I actually see the movie but still... it's not that hard to find actors that actually LOOK the part. I mean, Zuko and Aang could pass as white people but Sokka and Katara definitely aren't white.
