starvinbohemianOh, hell yes!
Jesse McCartney had "scheduling conflicts," so now Dev Patel from Slumdog Millionaire is going to play Zuko in the Avatar movie!
They still haven't gotten the ethnicity right, but this is still a step in the right direction. And on a purely superficial level, I looooves me some Dev Patel. Some community members at [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] are concerned that only recasting Zuko and not any of the main actors turns it into another example of the "evil brown kid harassing those poor white kids," but I don't know how I feel about that at this point.
I can't see much right now beyond the fact that I looooove Dev Patel. XD
