Super Bowl TV Spot in 1080p
February 5, 2010 by nextairbenderTwo Views From Test Screening
February 4, 2010 by nextairbenderIt seems that a test screening of an extremely rough cut of The Last Airbender was held last night in Phoenix, AZ. Two Aint It Cool News readers were in attendance, and wrote up their thoughts. Some good…
Shaun Toub plays Uncle Iroh and is totally one of THOSE guys who is in a million things but I never knew his name. Anyway, by far he is the BEST thing about the movie. Great character, great performance. And Dev Patel was also good as the cast out son of the fire lord. … Overall, I think they have a fun-to-watch summer movie here. I’d put it more on the Narnia level rather than the Lord of the Rings level, but still it has a nice feel to it and unlike most of the other test screenings I’ve been to, I’m actually really looking forward to watching this one again when released to see how it looks in the end.
And some not so good…
Whoever cast this film should be taken to task, because, if this was the best group of actors you could assemble, I’d hate to see the ones you rejected. This was some of the most wooden acting I’ve ever seen.

Shyamalan Praises Peltz
February 2, 2010 by nextairbender
Rennie Dyball recently wrote an article for PEOPLE which spotlights up & coming actress Nicola Peltz, whom stars in The Last Airbender as Katara. Director M. Night Shyamalan spoke highly of Ms. Peltz:
“I told the studio I didn’t want to make this movie without her,” Shyamalan tells PEOPLE. “I said that only once before in my career, and that was when I met Haley [Joel Osment] in the Sixth Sense auditions.”

We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Monitor

Our friends over at Paramount have been kind enough to send over high resolution versions of the three new teaser posters featuring Aang, Zuko, and Zukaang for the shippers that are so inclined. Alright photoshoppers, go nuts!
Sokka Goes Green
January 28, 2010 by nextairbenderNew photos have surfaced over at Last Airbender Fans featuring Jackson Rathbone as Sokka taken from the Greenland set early last year.
Aang Goes Global
January 28, 2010 by nextairbender
Empire Online obtained the international poster for The Last Airbender, which merges the two recently unveiled Aang & Zuko one sheets into one, thus adding yet another poster to the growing pantheon of Orange/Blue movie posters.
The Last Airbender is set to open August 13, 2010 in the UK.
Percy Jackson & the Avatar
January 27, 2010 by nextairbender
The Last Airbender producer, Frank Marshall, confirmed that the full theatrical trailer will be attached to Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief opening February 12, 2010. He also confirmed that a TV spot will run five days before, during Super Bowl XLIV on February 7. It is not clear if the TV spot will feature the full theatrical trailer, or a slimmed down version, but it is said to feature the entire main cast.
In any case, it’s sure to be an exciting week for Percy Jackson fans, football fans, and Avatar fans.
Two New Teaser Posters
January 26, 2010 by nextairbenderYahoo! Movies updated their Stills gallery today with two new teaser posters for The Last Airbender, featuring the titular character Aang on one, and a very Book 3-ish looking Prince Zuko on the other.
It is interesting to note that these posters are running with the vague Summer 2010 release date, rather than the official release date of July 2. A release date shift could possibly be in the works, to steer clear of the third Twilight film.
