Yes, there are plans for three live-action films. The showbiz magazine Variety announced on January 8th, 2007 that filmmaker M. Night Shyamalan has signed a 3-picture deal with Paramount's MTV Films and Nick Movies to write, direct and produce a live-action film adaptation of "Avatar: The Last Airbender." The film version is to be produced at Paramount. The first feature film will be titled "The Last Airbender" to avoid confusion with James Cameron's unrelated film "Avatar." The movie is expected to be released in theaters on July 2, 2010. Shooting will take place on stages in Philadelphia, as well as locations including Greenland. Shyamalan said in an interview for RopeOfSilicon.com that set construction will begin in August 2008.

Producers include M. Night Shyamalan, Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall, Sam Mercer and Scott Aversano. Series creators Michael DiMartino & Bryan Konietzko will serve as executive producers. As to casting Entertainment Weekly reported Shyamalan offered the roles of Aang to karate-trained Texan Noah Ringer; Sokka to Jackson Rathbone; Katara to Nicola Peltz (Deck the Halls) and Dev Patel as Zuko.

If Aang's status changes so that he is no longer the last airbender, then that would probably signal either the end of the series or a serious change of direction. That would mean that either Aang has died and the airbenders are extinct ,or that a new airbender has been born or discovered. Since Aang and Katara get together at the end, it's likely that bending is genetic and likely that Aang and Katara's children might pass on the Airbending ability down generation to generation creating new Airbenders.

All airbenders are born with bending abilities. They're the only nation where this occurs.The other nations are hit or miss with their abilities (i.e. Sokka and Katara). All Aang has to do is have a few kids and eventually a new airbender will be born so on and so forth.

No. The creators confirmed that at San Diego Comic Con in July, 2007. Other stories will be told in the Avatar world and there are the upcoming live-action movies, but the animated series ends with Book 3: Fire. Nickelodeon has announced that there will be "(t)hree original 60-minute animated Avatar movies," in addition to the live-action, feature-length film trilogy by M. Night Shyamalan--however, there has been no official "green light" for any new made-for-cable Avatar projects.

Yes all three seasons are availible on DVD.

Fire Lord Ozai confirmed that he banished Zuko's mother and that she may still be alive, but it is unsure. In the series finale, Fire Lord Zuko questions his father on the whereabouts of his mother, but the series ends before it is confirmed that she was found. Zuko finding Ursa was actually storyboarded for the finale by Avatar Director Joaquim Dos Santos, but was nixed by Mike DiMartino - not really sure why but this implies that Ursa most likely is alive.

A Nick ad flyer for avatar surfaced on the internet and stated that sometime in Spring 2009 there is going to be a series of mini episodes. Mike and Bryan, the show's creators, have said they had never heard anything about this and it was just a rumor.
