Ever since Entertainment Weekly reported in December that Director M. Night Shyamalan is making a live-action take on AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER has been causing controversy, but not about the movie being made into a live action film, but on the Cast Members he offered to play the roles to.

Zuko to Jesse McCartney
