Release Date: July 2, 2010

Writer/director M. Night Shyamalan makes his return to the big screen following 2008?s The Happening with The Last Airbender, a movie that feels like it has been in theater previews forever because it has been.

Airbender centers around the story of a being known as The Avatar (not the blue-skinned kind), of whom there is only one in the world that can control the elements of earth, wind, water, and fire and maintain peace between the tribes of the elements. After The Avatar disappears, it is up to a 12 year old by the name of Aang, the new Avatar, to master the elements, embrace his destiny and bring peace back to the elemental tribes after the Fire Nation starts a hundred year war with the three other nations.

Cartoon watchers might recognize the story and characters from the original animated Nick series. Rumor has it that this could be the first of a series of Airbender movies, so there will be a lot riding on the shoulders of Aang this time around.
