Was following Twitter and one of my favorite people who doesn’t follow me led me to these two new posters or the The Last Airbender (the Avatar before Cameron went off and created a damn juggernaut that sunk (again) what used to be the his other juggernaut. This one has a high profile director as well in M. Night Shyamalan, and I’m almost scared to say anything about any images after seeing the passion that a previous post here at BSC brought out! So I’m just going to let them speak for themselves, two new one-sheet brought the internets via YahooMovies!
These are character poster for Noah Ringer’s Aang and Dev Patel’s Zuko. I don’t know anything about the franchise, but the teaser trailer from last Summer (particularly the latter portions) surprised me a bit, more because that the scope of it seemed so outside of Shyamalan’s wheelhouse (admittedly, that might be exactly what he needs at the moment). Frank Marshal has revealed via twitter that a new trailer will be attached to Percy Jackson and will be roughly 2 minutes in length, and seemed to reveal that we should expect a Super Bowl Spot.
Film Synopsis – The film follows Aang and is set in a world where human civilization is divided into four nations: Water, Earth, Air and Fire. With the help of a protective teenage Waterbender named Katara and her bull-headed brother Sokka, Aang proceeds on a perilous journey to restore balance to their war-torn world. But, his goal will meet a tough challenge from exiled Fire Nation’s evil prince Zuko who is sent to capture the Avatar in order to restore his honor and right to the throne.
If you haven’t followed the series this is why it’s odd to see M.Night do this. This isn’t based on source material. This is based on a show his daughter got him hooked on and he went to Nick and asked if he could turn it into a movie.
He’s passionate about the movie which is why people are cautiously optimistic about the project.
Personally the race of the actors doesn’t bother me and at this point is a dead horse that people simply will not let die.
Sorry. I meant to say this isn’t based on an original idea by M.Night but rather it’s his first project with established source material.
My hope is he doesn’t change too much. The original series on Nick was divided into 3 seasons of 20 episodes each. Stick to the original story line for each of the 3 movies and he’ll be fine.
sooooo i love this show and is gonna be off the hook if they follow the story line!
Yes. I feel the same way. He doesn’t NEED to change anything because the story was solid on its own and appealed to adults and children alike. I’m in my mid 30′s and I loved the show. On iTunes one of the first reviews you used to see was from a guy in his 40′s with a PhD who loved the show.
All Night literally has to do is bring the same story for each season (truncated of course because each season was 20 episodes) to the big screen and the story and plot will stand on its own. He doesn’t need any of his signature twists.
Again because he’s so passionate about the movie and the shows creators are the producers there is a cautious optimism about the trilogy.
