Avatar Studios hiring for new animated LAST AIRBENDER projects

Avatar Studios have put out a job notice for a storyboard artist for their new projects set in the world of Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra.

As confirmed a year ago, original Avatar IP creators Bryan Konietzko and Michael DiMartino have set up Avatar Studios as a division of Nickelodeon. The new studio will produce multiple new projects in the Avatar universe, starting with an animated feature film for theatrical release. The time period, setting and characters for the project are unknown, but for a feature film they'd presumably want to go with the original, classic cast. There are multiple Avatar graphic novels expanding on events immediately after the original TV series which could be adapted, as well as the possibility of next generation-style story set decades later with the kids all grown up (as briefly seen in flashbacks in The Legend of Korra).

These animated projects are separate from the live-action show currently in production at Netflix.
