Republic City Dispatch

Noooope.

I did my due diligence today scouring the web to try and find this “official” Netflix/Nickelodeon confirmation/leak.

Sadly, it looks like some stray listings for Book One: Air in Ireland and the UK sent people into a tizzy because it also aligned with a random fan prediction of “May 12th” made in December on a Wika message board.

Plus the NICK message boards fanned the flame with many, many panicked animated emoticons HERE.

So let’s relax, we’re probably still getting the Book One DVD first.

I’ve been asked by Devindra to tell you that we are going to upload the /Filmcast Benefit we all did with Jeremy Zuckerman, talking about the scoring for Avatar, Korra and Book 2. We’re going to throw it in the RCD Feed, once we get ourselves back on iTunes and edit the episode, etc.

Until then, you can always chill with me at AvatarPatel’s YouTube page where he uploads the best in Korra video content…unofficial Korra video content. : )

Legend of Korra Season 2 Arriving in Fall 2013

That’s what Nickelodeon bigwig press releases suggests. Here’s the quote that was attached to Nick’s upfront:

“For the 2013-14 season, the network will also roll out new episodes of returning hit animated series, including season two of The Legend of Korra, SpongeBob SquarePants, The Fairly OddParents, Winx Club, T.U.F.F. Puppy, Kung Fu Panda: Legends of Awesomeness and Robot and Monster.”

I need to go unlock a Chakra that will allow me to be at peace with this news. - Patches

Hi RCDers!

Patches was on vacation, I’m making some reality TV, Devindra is becoming a cyborg…or waiting for the iPhone 5 release, it’s hard for me to tell the difference.

BUT - we’re all still working, just not every day on something Korra. Look for us to announce when our next episode will be (and what it will be about) soonish.

While we’re all working, steeped in news of technology, movies and pop culture, I came across this Variety story.

BETWEEN THE LINES: DreamWorks Animation is looking to move out from under Paramount’s studio umbrella, which is about to put a lot of pressure on Paramount Animation to come up with animated movies for the studio, given the lead time it takes to make an animated feature. Paramount Animation has 2011’s RANGO under it’s belt, but otherwise has been used to distribute Nickelodeon SpongeBob, Rugrats and Jimmy Nuetron movies.

Now that Paramount Animation has to ramp up, they are pulling from the likes of JJ Abrams for original projects and…looking to Nickelodeon.

Currently on Nickelodeon, the top rated show that they’d like to continue for as long as possible is Korra.

The stars slowly align to bring us an animated Korra movie. I’m not saying expect an announcement, I’m saying the business is providing a throughway for the conversation to take place.

BUT - and here’s the one you need to spread to all your fragile emotional Korra friends - just because someone says The Legend of Korra *might* be part of this deal does not mean that people are actually talking about a Korra movie right now. It just means that it’s possible.

Thought I’d stop by and make you all as cautiously optimistic by this non-news as I am.

REPUBLIC CITY DISPATCH #13: ABOUT THAT COMIC CON PANEL…

Legend of Korra : Team Avatar by `lone-momo

NEW BONUS PODCAST EPISODE!

In this very special non-episode based Dispatch, Matt and Da7e re-trace the Legend of Korra 2012 San Diego Comic Con panel and discuss what this means for Books One, Two, Three and Four!

Miss the panel? TONS of it is online in video form, officially, HERE.

If you don’t want to be SPOILED at all for Book Two, I don’t know what to tell you. Everything that was in the panel is in play here as well as the entire first season of The Legend of Korra.

Which ended up being surprisingly similar to The Dark Knight Rises.

Hosted by Devindra Hardawar of the /Filmcast and Da7e and Matt Patches of Operation Kino.

Da7e and Patches are on site!

Da7e is live-blogging it HERE!.

Hey, I’ve been at Comic Con. But this is true and I imagine it will be one of the first things we hear on the panel Friday (BTW - I’m (Da7e) is going to be live-blogging that panel at CINEMABLEND.COM - I’ll link you)

The word has come from an Entertainment Weekly exclusive:

Nickelodeon has picked up a second season of the animated adventure seriesThe Legend of Korra, EW has learned. After averaging 3.8 million viewers for Season 1, Book 1, which concluded June 23, the Avatar: The Last Airbender sequel received an order for 26 more episodes (which presumably will be divided into two parts called Books 3 and 4.)
The show is already set to return in 2013 with the premiere of Season 1, Book 2 (which consists of 14 episodes, finishing off the original 26-episode order)

We hadn’t heard that Book 1 and Book 2 were a 26 episode series split into two “books” because it was initially just the shorter mini-series.

BUT - this does mean there are 12 episodes of Korra down and THERE ARE STILL 40 episodes to go!

Great news for Korra fans…

… So I guess the podcast just got picked up for 3 more years? Who wants to grow old together? Am I going to name my first child after an Avatar character or a Korra character?
