Third Last Airbender Trailer Arrives

The third trailer for M. Night Shyamalan’s (THE SIXTH SENSE, LADY IN THE WATER) new fantasy epic, THE LAST AIRBENDER has arrived on Apple Trailers for all to see. This new promo features some previously released footage but focuses more on outlining the main storyline and has plenty of new action to show off. View it for yourselves on the left.

THE LAST AIRBENDER is a new fantasy film adapted from the TV cartoon series of the same name which follows Aang, a young successor to a long line of Avatars, who must put his childhood ways aside and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water, Earth and Air nations. The film was written and directed by Shyamalan and stars Cliff Curtis (PUSH, SUNSHINE) Dev Patel (SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE) and newcomer Noah Ringer.

Not being a fan of the TV series and considering Shyamalan’s only good film was THE SIXTH SENSE, I was understandably ready to ignore AIRBENDER. Since watching the latest trailer, however, I may have to re-evaluate that position. The set design, special effects, scope and action set-pieces displayed in this latest trailer are very impressive and it seems Shyamalan may have somewhat of a sleeper hit on his hands.
THE LAST AIRBENDER is released on the 2nd of July this summer.
