TVspotlight in open beta
Ik heb lang en met veel plezier gewerkt aan Avatar: The Four Elements maar na 3 jaar was het voor mij tijd om ook met wat nieuws te beginnen. Mijn interesse voor films en tv-programmas was mede dankzij Avatar: The Last Airbender flink gegroeid. Daarom besloot ik te beginnen aan een website over tv-programmas en films.
De volgende slogan werd bedacht; "De website met het laatste nieuws, trailers en informatie over televisie en films handig bij elkaar". Wat het begin was van ander half jaar hard werken.
De release van The Last Airbender heb ik aangegrepen om TVspotlight in open beta te doen. En leden van Avatar: The Four Elements als eerste de kans te geven om TVspotlight te testen
Registreer je daarom ook snel en doen mee aan open beta van TVspotlight.

Interview met bedenkers Avatar op Comics Con
The Wall Street Journal heeft de gelegenheid gekregen om een interview af te nemen met de bedenkers van Avatar: The Last Airbender en The Legend of Korra, Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko.
Hieronder de belangrijkste delen uit interview van The Wall Street Journal in het engels.
The Wall Street Journal: How did you come up with the idea for the spinoff?
Bryan Konietzko: When Mike and I first created “Avatar: The Last Airbender” we always knew it would have an ending to it, that particular story. But as the show really took off, and found an audience all over the world, we knew that despite our intentions of ending that story there would probably be a time when Nickelodeon would come calling and want some more episodes….When that time came we had this idea for jumping ahead and telling a story about the next Avatar, this girl Korra.
If there’s a new Avatar, that means Aang has passed on. If he died around age 70, isn’t that pretty young for an Avatar?
Konietzko: You gotta keep in mind that he was frozen in a state of suspended animation for 100 years, so he kind of burned up some of his extra Avatar time.
The new “Avatar” is a woman. What inspired you to change the sex of the protagonist of the series?
Michael DiMartino: It’s not so much about changing because we had Avatar Kyoshi before Aang. We’d established that the Avatar can be male or female and we just thought let’s explore one of those more in depth, because Kyoshi was a popular character with a lot of fans and it seemed like a great opportunity to not retread what we’d done with Aang, who was a great hero, we all loved him, but we really wanted to try something different. And we have so many great female fans out there, who really responded to Katara in the first series, we thought we have the fan base who are really going to enjoy seeing the Avatar be a female.
Konietzko: Mike and I, we love those characters too, and we’ve encountered countless fans who are male who really like those characters too. We just don’t subscribe to the conventional wisdom that you can’t have an action series led by a female character. It’s kinda nonsense to us.
The one image that you released is Korra looking out on Republic City, where a lot of the new show take place. Tell me about that city.
Konietzko: That’s kind of a piece of concept art so when the show premieres next year it won’t look exactly like that but that’s the direction we’re headed. The first series was sort of a road show where every episode they were going to some new location. That was another new thing we wanted to do is root it in one big complex location but mainly one place. We were drawing inspiration from Shanghai in the 1920s and 30s and Hong Kong and even Western cities like Manhattan and even location-wise cities like Vancouver, a city that juts out on a peninsula or an island and has these big mountains around it.
Will we see characters from the previous series pop up?
DiMartino: I don’t want to give anything away, but rest assured there’s a definite link between the old series and this one.
Republic City is a city plagued by crime. There’s an anti-bender revolt. Does this new series deal with more mature themes?
Konietzko: Mike and I like a balance of tones. We never set out to make an overtly silly show or an overly serious dramatic show. We like dealing with all those things. It’s fair to say we’re dealing with some sophisticated things and the show is growing up a bit. But that said, we’re not in a calculated way trying to target another demographic. Even in the first series, it was about a world war and some pretty serious issues.
If Tenzin is Aang’s son, who is his mother?
DiMartino: [To Konietzko] We can say that, right? [To Speakeasy] It’s Katara. It’s not a huge surprise.
Would you like to bring a cartoon version of “Avatar: The Last Airbender” to the big screen?
Konietzko: We would love to. I think Mike and I would absolutely love to do feature animation. Either another story, or it if worked out, one in the “Avatar” world. We would be really excited.

The Legend of Korra Officiel aangekondigd door Nickelodeon
Een paar weken geleden kon ik al melden dat de naam The Legend of Korra geregistreerd was door Nickelodeon. Maar of ze wat met deze naam ging doen was alles behalve zeker. Gelukkig heeft Nickelodeon vandaag The Legend of Korra officeel aangekondigd en al een beetje van het verhaal uit de doeken gedaan.
Hier onder een stuk uit het pers bericht van Nickelodeon.
De serie zal in premiere gaan ergens in 2011 en zal geregisseerd worden door de oude bekend van Avatar: The Last Airbender, Michael DiMartino en Bryan Konietzko.
Rond de comics Con 2010 word meer informatie verwacht over The Legend of Korra. Hierover zal ik uiteraard bericht doen.

Releasedatum The Last Airbender NL officieel bekend
The Last Airbender zal in Nederland op 19 augustus in de bioscoop verschijnen. Deze datum staat vermeld op de officiele website van The Last Airbender. Eerder werd gedacht dat de Nederlandse release 21 juli zou zijn, dit was helaas onjuist. In Belgie verschijnt de film een kleine maand eerder, namelijk op 28 juli.
We zullen hier in Nederland nog even moeten wachten op The Last Airbender. In de VS zal The Last Airbender 1 juli in de bioscopen draaien 1 dag eerder dan in eerste instantie gepland was.
