New tv spot for Nikelodeon, and an international trailer showing some very interesting new footage...

Also! 2nd full length trailer for your enjoyment.







New full length trailer released!



Okay, so, there's a movie coming out this summer by the name of The Last Airbender. It's based off of the best show Nickelodeon has ever had. I've been DYING to see the trailer for this show, and it's finally out, though a couple days early. This is just the 30 second Superbowl Spot. There's set to be a 2 minute trailer attached to Percy Jackson. Enjoy!



I would have preffered a closer look at the main cast, but it's shaping up to look pretty awesome.

Edit: For anyone that hasn't seen it, the first season is available to watch instantly on Netflix, and you can have the rest of the series delivered.

tough to judge too much from a 30 second teaser, but at least the visuals look alright.

Thank you, this was the response I was looking for. ALSO, check the clip again, and at the :09-11 mark, look at the top left of the screen for a glimpse of Appa!! He'll be directly left of the fireball.

I was worried about this movie but this trailer is making me all hyped up again. It looks great. I hope the music is just as memorable as it was in the original series

As long as M. Night Shloboshlippendoodel does not give some "What a TWEEST!" moment in the end, I'm gonna go and watch this.

The only point of contention I have is the phrase "world consumed by darkness". They're FIRE Warriors, for pete's sake, not some mooks afraid of a tan!

I hope so too. That's my only real concern with this teaser is the metal stuff going on that gives it a 300/watchmen feel to me. The music was really fitting in the series and hopefully they'll keep that feel in the film.

I hate to admit that the trailer looked cool... but it did look cool.

Trailers always do though, so I'll continue to reserve judgment until I see the final product.

Even if it sucks, I'm still comforted by the fact that the three seasons of Avatar: The Last Airbender were all mind-numbingly awesome, and hopefully this movie will convince the people I know to give the series a chance.

The score is being done by James Newton Howard, and it's been stated that he's doing all original work. His resume is pretty impressive, and he worked on the Dark Knight. Not as composer, but as an artist.

Agreed. Everyone should try this series out.

Eh, looks alright. I'll admit though, I was never all that taken with the show. And yes I watched every freakin' episode. The characters were all annoying, especially Aang and Katara. And Toph. Well pretty much everyone was annoying except for Iroh.

You had to be at least a little taken if it convinced you to watch every episode.

Weird, It thought M.Night only wrote OR directed this. It certainly looks cool, I'll give it that. But I've never watched any of the cartoon, so I'm going in blind at the moment.

Not sure if it's such a good idea to heavily promote M.Night's name all over this, either. Personally, I've liked all of his movies except Signs, but I know public opinion of him isn't exactly high these days.

I've seen a couple episodes of the series, granted the American dubb not the original with subs, and I never cared for it. It just seemed like Dragon Ball (not Z) mixed with a little Naruto. I could see the appeal for younger anime fans but as a generation that grew up on Akira, Ghost in the Shell and Appleseed, it never caught a hold on me.

Now THIS movie? Looks fucking sweet. The cgi bending looks perfect for a live action equivalent of the anime. Other than The Happening and Signs, I've liked M Nights movies so this looks promising.

There is no other version. Avatar was made in America. (Well, technically, I guess it was made in Korea.) Avatar is one of those shows where you really have to watch it from the beginning. It goes from being an entertaining show for kids into a fantastic epic story right about halfway through the 1st season. So if you can stick with it, I'd give it a shot. The second season is GOLD, and the third season has....it's moments. What I love the most about this show, was that the creators had a set beginning, middle and end, so it doesn't drag on forever, and you never feel like they've lost their focus.

It also has some of the best animation I've seen.

Wow, that actually looked great... even if the story sucks at least we'll get some great visuals.

Out of curiosity, though... are they going to stuff the whole Avatar story into one movie? Three seasons into one film, that is? Or will this movie be more like, I dunno, a re-imagining of season one?

Because I'd love to see Ba Sing Se, or the library of Wang Shi Tong.

One movie per book, so this is Water. No Toph, Azula, or Dai Li until the next movie :(

Yeah, it was mildly interesting. That's why I said I wasn't all that taken, not not taken at all. And there were good episodes, like the one with the moon princess. But every time it felt like the show was getting somewhere, it would break off into goofiness.

It's not an anime. It's an American-made cartoon.

I loved the show (and own all of it), but I just can't be convinced by a trailer where every clip in it is a second or less.

I'm more concerned that I haven't liked a single Shyamalan movie since Unbreakable.

Mostly I worry that Aang is going to be all serious and kung fu stoic. No, that doesn't contradict the last post I made--light-hearted and fun is okay, but having your protagonist's IQ drop about a thousand points from fight scene to city street scene is annoying.

Yeah, i mean a guy that was raised in what amounted to a secluded monastery would totally have street smarts...

Of course a film would be more serious, so it's probable that he won't be as exaggerated...

I was waiting for someone to respond with that. You don't have to have street smarts to have intuition and the ability to figure something out. Besides it's all of them, not just Aang.

So your complaint is that they didn't see stuff you saw a mile away because you're familiar with certain tropes employed in the genre?!

Yeah I liked how they kept the light heartedness going in the heat of battle showing how he would still make some mistakes and wasn't an all serious badass.

Where does the intelligence drop that much besides the sense of humor? I know really smart people who have the sense of humor of a three year old. I dont think it seems out of character. Plus they are kids and are not going to get some things no matter how smart they may be with other things.

The third film better portray the true mastermind behind the Fire Nation invasion. The cunning, the strategic savvy, the charisma, the ruthlessness, the mercilessness of... the Melon Lord!

I'm still dubious. The early reviews are not very kind to it. I'll still rent it but I'm not getting my hopes up.
