Instead of being called Avatar: The Last Airbender it’s going to be called The Last Air Bender due to James Cameron’s movie of the same name; they've dropped Avatar from the title to avoid confusion.
The movie is due to come out July 2, 2010; going down the actors’ names on IMDB the only person I see worth mentioning is Dev Patel (the kid from Slumdog Millionaire). I’m not judging the movie based on its stars but on its director. M. Night has made one great movie, after The Sixth Sense every other film his made has been very, very disappointing.
I’m holding out hope that the movie may not be very bad; the movie is written by Bryan Konietzko and… M. Night. Still Bryan is one of the main dudes who worked on the series with Michael Dante DiMartino and they wouldn’t let their prized series be altered too much by M. Night. I mean from the screens below it looks like a pretty faithful adaptation.
How bad can he screw this up? Its targeted at kids, and maybe he won’t pull a disappointing twist: the kid was actually in car accident and these are his last thoughts.
Also that kid (Noah Ringer) does kind of look like the main dude from the show.
Dev looks “cool” I guess [Thanks] Animevice, IMDB
