The Last Airbender Trailer

Tags: last airbender movie, last airbender trailer, the last airbender trailer

The Last Airbender is M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming film. The Last Airbender is a M. Night adaptation of the first season of the animated television series Avatar: The Last Airbender. Rumor has it that M. Night plans to make this the first film in a Last Airbender trilogy. So, it’s a kid’s movie and the trailer looks good. Maybe M. Night will land on his feet. I was of the opinion, after stringing together films like The Village, Lady in the Water and The Happening, that he should stop making movies and start making apologies. HD Trailer, synopsis, cast and screen caps after the jump.

From Wiki:

In a world where the four elements can be controlled by people known as “Benders”, the Fire Nation is waging a ruthless, oppressive war to control the other great nations. The only hope for stopping the brutal war led by the Firebenders rests on the shoulders of a reluctant young boy named Aang (Noah Ringer). The last known survivor of the peaceful Air Nomads, also known as Airbenders, Aang is also the world’s “Avatar”. The “Avatar” is the physical re-incarnation of the world itself, with the power to manipulate all four elements. Aided by a protective teenage Waterbender named Katara (Nicola Peltz) and her bull-headed brother Sokka (Jackson Rathbone), Aang begins a perilous journey to restore balance to their war-torn world. Standing in their way are Fire Nation Admiral Zhao (Aasif Mandvi) and Prince Zuko (Dev Patel), the banished prince of the Fire Nation who seeks to capture the young Avatar to regain his honor.
