AMAZING FIRST POSTERS FROM "THE LAST AIRBENDER"

"Yahoo Movies" has just published first two, very lovely, posters (click on them to view them full sized) from fantasy adventure "The Last Airbender", possibly one of the biggest blockbusters awaiting us this summer. Released on July 2 and directed by M. Night Shyamalan "The Last Airbender" follows the Fire Nation which is waging a ruthless, oppressive war against the other three nations. The film's hero, the reluctant young Aang (Noah Ringer), is the "Last Airbender" - the Avatar who, according to prophecy, has the ability to manipulate all of the elements and bring all the nations together. Aided by a protective teenage Waterbender named Katara (Nicola Peltz) and her bull-headed brother Sokka, Aang proceeds on a perilous journey to restore balance to their war-torn world.
Jackson Rathbone plays Katara's brother Sokka, and the most popular cast member Dev Patel ("Slumdog Millionaire") plays Prince Zuko, prince of the Fire Nation. Aasif Mandvi is set to play the role of Commander Zhao, an ambitious and hot-tempered Fire Nation commander. Shaun Toub is cast as Uncle Iroh, the retired Fire Nation general and devoted surrogate parent to Dev Patel's character Zuko. Cliff Curtis is set to play the ruthless ruler Fire Lord Ozai. Keong Sim has been cast in the role of Earthbending Father.

  1. This movie should come with the tagline:

    FROM THE MAN WHO DESPERATELY NEEDS THIS TO TURN OUT WELL....

    I love Shyamalan's early work (Unbreakable is in my top 100), but his last handful of movies have been.... ick.

  2. Oh, than you are a Shymalan fan compared with me :) I've never liked any of his movies, and I also support the tagline: he, and we, really need this to turn out well.

    I didn't like a thing from mr Shymalan, but if he pulls this one off, all will be forgiven. :))
