'Avatar: The Last Airbender' Flick is Shyamalan's New Project

buddytv · 05-14-2008, 03:00 AM

Fans would be thrilled to know that Avatar: The Last Airbender has made enough waves in the entertainment industry to have a film adaptation to its name. In fact, they’d be happier to know that M. Night Shyamalan, the man behind the success of the film The Sixth Sense, has enlisted his talents for the making of the live-action film adaptation, which is set to be released on July 2, 2010. According to Variety, the production team has titled the film “The Last Airbender,” dropping the “Avatar” to avoid confusion with James Cameron’s upcoming flick of the same name, which is set to be released in December 2009.

Avatar: The Last Airbender was inspired and influenced by Japanese filmmaker Hayao Mizahaki, whom Shyamalan believes is one of the greatest storytellers in the world. Shyamalan adds that “In 'The Last Airbender,' I see an opportunity to make a live-action version of a Miyazaki film.”

They will never be able to make an Avatar movie as good as the TV show. No matter what, fans will be disappointed. You just can't make stunts to the extremity of those in Avatar look real without animation. Too bad...
