to the cartoon "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
This music video-- fan-made-- shows some of the characterdevelopment of a major villain. (Fits Zuko's story pretty well, too; father issues, refusal to live a lie, attitude, and "I bring the FIRE!")
I just know they're going to use slow-mo to death, and I wouldn't be shocked if they messed up Uncle Iroh. (Sean Connery, if he's able to not take himself seriously, might be able to pull it off...)
The cast is kinda screwy; the only one of the folks I care about that I can "see" managing the role they've been cast in is Sokka, so far. Looks can be overcome if they end up with the right... oh, I don't know how to put it, aura, projection, attitude... but my faith in modern acting is rather lacking.
Oh, and Zuko is supposed to have a top-knot for a very long time-- instead, he has Twilight hair. -.-
I don't have much faith in folks who would mess up that. (It is actually important, symbolically.)
They really should have gone with some form of CGI instead.

I forgot to mention Vathara's awesome Avatar fanfic about Zuko!
It's called Embers. The thing's really long, but really good.

Oooh, it's been a while since I found some good fanfic....
Gosh o'Holy fishooks, chapter 12 has the boogymen given decent motivation!!!
I thought you'd like it.
No way it will be as good as the cartoon, but that doesn't mean it won't be good in its own way. I'm adopting a wait-and-see attitude.
I enjoyed the Dresden Files TV show, although it was very different from the books-- so long as the director can control himself, I can forget the actors are actors and the script is decent, we're good....
