M. Night Shyamalan’s Avatar The Last Airbender

Dev Patel looks to turn his fans on their heads as he goes from hero of Slumdog Millionaire to villian in this adaptation of Nickelodeon’s popular series. Starring opposite Patel and in the title roll is newcomer Noah Ringer. The Last Airbender will be in theaters July 2, 2010. Airbender could mark a turnaround for Shyamalan’s career which has spiraled down the toilet with such busts as The Happening, Lady in the Water and The Village. This is also the first adaptation of Shyamalan’s short career.

Enjoy the trailer below:

Are you a fan of Nickelodeon’s Avatar: The Last Airbender animated series? what do you think of this live action big screen adapation? do you trust Shyamalan’s direction? Let us know what you think!

With all of the lack of love surrounding M. Night and his movies lately, I really hope for his sake that his movie is going to rock. From early reviews though, it seems to suck big time. With his first rated R piece, we should see a little more of his twisted, supposedly masterful mind at work in The Happening.

Click the photo below for the extended trailer from his upcoming film The Happening.

Below I have included the redband Exclusive to Jo Blo – its rater R folks and quite disturbing.
