The Twitter happy producer of The Last Airbender Frank Marshall just posted this:
LAST AIRBENDER release date moves up to July 1st…
All fans eagerly waiting the opening of Airbender, just got a 24 hour bonus! Be sure to visit Frank Marshall at his Twitter page.
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.
Yahoo! 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.
Those sparkling vampires, and buff werewolves of the Twilight saga may be the biggest hurdle The Last Airbender will have to overcome to reach box office success next year. New Moon, the second of the Twilight films, opened this past weekend grossing an astonishing $142 million, smashing the highest grossing Midnight opening and single day records in the process. The next film in the saga, Eclipse, opens next year on June 30, a mere two days before The Last Airbender hits theaters. What the wild success of New Moon spells for The Last Airbender at this point is uncertain, but it wouldn’t surprise us if Airbender’s release date is pushed up or back at least a week in light of the very real competition Eclipse will surely bring to the box office.
