Posted on Tuesday, June 9th, 2009 by Brendon Connelly
Some more casting for M. Night Shyamalan‘s The Last Airbender has been confirmed by the fansite Last Airbender Film, and it would seem, for once, to be an example of the filmmakers sidestepping controversy. Please welcome Isaac Jin Solstein, 10 year old Korean-American actor and black belt in Tang Soo Do and Soo Bahk Do. His role has been officially identified as “Earthbending Boy”, though fans of the show will probably already have inferred from this that he’s most very likely playing the character of Haru. After the break, a video example of Isaac doing his stuff and more on the casting controversy.
