Hope so, I really liked Ang: The Last Airbender on TV.

Avatar the last Airbender is one of the better kids' series out there. I watched every episode with my kids last year up until the finale.
I will say that this can not translate faithfully to live action film: unless it's interpreted in the fantastical tradition of Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, with all those incredible and superhuman feats of leaping about (which even expert martial artists cannot accomplish in real life). So as a fan of the animated series, I am set up not to expect a faithful retelling, but rather a more realism-based version with its own style. M Night can either be a genius or a complete dunce as a director...hoping for the former, so he can break his losing streak of late. Who knows, he may be the perfect choice for this project.
