Tell your friends- boys 12-15 can audition AT HOME to be Aang in the live-action Avatar movie! (If only my son were four years older!!)
I'm glad I clicked on the link over at Distant Horizon, because if I hadn't, I would still assume that you had to go to California or Florida or NY, etc. to audition. But you don't!
Go to http://www.thelastairbendercasting.com/index.php for details. They have a complete kit for your at-home Aang audition, including test script! They wanna see your tape (or disk?). They specify that they are looking for NEW talent and not necessarily someone with previous acting experience. Here's some info from the site:
"We are looking for a young man to play the lead role of Aang in this motion picture franchise. We are considering male actors 12-15 years old, Caucasian or any other ethnicity. He must be athletic and graceful with an ability in Martial Arts (not necessarily extensive experience, but at least an aptitude for it). Kids with experience in gymnastics, dance, or sports could also be good. He is a young adventurer and should seem like the type of young man who will grow up to be heroic."
I'm a little jealous because my son is only 8. He's tall but wouldn't sound old enough to pass for 12-15. Looks-wise, though, he looks like Aang, right down to his slim build, his round face, brown eyebrows and grey eyes. Maybe we'll do an audition tape just for the fun of it... don't think I'm going to let him shave his head just for that, though. 
Anyway, I have also posted a new fanart tribute to Avatar Aang (not a vid, sorry). Just click on the pic to see the full-size version on my dA page.
