According to a press release on the Dutch MTV Networks website, Avatar: Legend of Korra will be premiering in the fall of 2012. Nickutopia has made this translation of the statement from Dutch to English:

In 2012 there are already lots of new series in the pipeline. … In the fall are “Legends of Korra”, a spinoff of the hit series Avatar, and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles”, a remake of the same name and original animation series from 1988, on the program.

While this definitely gives us some sort of official time frame, it certainly doesn't confirm a US release. However, Nickelodeon has been keeping us in the dark lately, and this news does make fall 2012 a strong possibility for the premiere of Legend of Korra.

The music in Avatar: The Last Airbender is widely regarded as one of the strongest aspects of the original series, and it has captured the ears, hearts, and minds of fans across the world. Composed and designed by Jeremy Zuckerman and Benjamin Wynn of The Track Team, the soundtrack has yet to become available for commercial purchase, leading fans to create an online petition to make that happen. Though currently unsuccessful, fans still remain extremely supportive of the Zuckerman and Wynn.

Now the duo embarks on a new journey in the world of Avatar, with Legend of Korra. Back in 2010, when the new series was first announced, The Track Team had talked about possibly incorporating industrial and electronic music into the soundtrack. They even mentioned doing some Jazz or early 20th century style music, but as if it had been invented by Asians. Many speculated and questioned what all this could mean, and just how different the music would be from the original series. Read the full story below.

UPDATE (12/4/11): Mike DiMartino has requested that the opening to LOK be taken down and not spread around. Viacom is also actively seeking out and removing any copies on YouTube.

OMG. A video of the opening titles to Avatar: Legend of Korra is starting to spread accross YouTube. We're not sure how it got leaked, but it certainly looks legit:


What do you think?!?

Over the last couple of days, info about the upcoming Dark Horse Comic Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Promise, Part 1 has been slowly slipping out.

First, word came to us from the Avatar Wiki that the comic will bridge the gap between the original series and the highly anticipated Legend of Korra. Supposedly the story will pick up immediately after the last episode of the original series, with stress on the word immediately. Then the story will jump forward a year, and that's where it will take off and become its own.

Most excitingly, it is claimed that the comic book will show the rest of the conversation that Zuko had with Firelord Ozai about his mother.

Lastly, it appears that a fan on Tumblr has managed to get hold of an early copy of the comic. She posted a panel as proof. You can read the marketing material describing the comic, and see the full panel by reading the full story below.

Taking a break from filming a feature film during the summer in Los Angeles, Dante Basco (Prince Zuko) sat down with Jordon (from avatarthelastairbenderonline.com) and myself (Nightbender) for a video interview about Avatar: The Last Airbender and the highly anticipated spin-off, The Last Airbender: Legend of Korra. Presented in two parts and in High Definition, we are happy to bring you the approximately 20 minute discussion with the widely talented (and very down to earth!) Dante Basco. Check it out below:
