Recently, Netflix announced a remake of the classic animated series "Avatar", co-directed by original animation producers Bryan Konietzko and Michael Dante Dimartino. However, at the same time as the announcement was made, they also left the project. The new director, Albert Kim, faced a number of difficult decisions about the challenges of this new project.
For new directors, no matter what type of remake they are facing, there will be many doubts. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Kim said, "Although the original version is well loved, the audience still has expectations and doubts about the new version. We needed to convey the essence of the original book to a new audience through a remake. ”
In the last two years, Konietzko and Dimartino have returned to Nickelodeon to start developing new animated series and films, which complicates the reasons why they left the Netflix project. For Kim, this is an opportunity to reinvent a brand new Avatar that will tell the story for a new generation of audiences.
We've been talking about how to translate the essence of the original book into a living reality, while also taking into account the questions that fans of the original book might ask, such as who Katara's mother is and what Aang's background is. Kim said, "This is the story of Avatar, but this is the Avatar in our hearts." We need to make this work known to a new generation of audiences. ”
