M Night Shyamalan to direct sequel to The Last Airbender

[Kane]

So apparently, he's directing a thriller first, then he's working on The Last Airbender 2

Not only has he garnered critical acclaim for the TV series Wayward Pines, starring Matt Dillon and Juliette Lewis – but is back to his thrilling best with new documentary-style horror The Visit.


The director has also confirmed that he will be behind the sequel of Avatar: The Last Airbender, despite the film getting panned worldwide.

The fantasy film starred Noah Ringer as lead Aang, Dev Patel as Prince Zuko, Nicola Peltz as Katara, and Jackson Rathbone as Sokka, but it failed to impress fans of the Emmy-Award winning Nickelodeon show.

However, Shyamalan has exclusively told Metro.co.uk that The Last Airbender 2 won’t be his next project.

‘It takes so long to make those CGI movies,’ Night explained, ‘It’s hard because it takes two/three years and I don’t get to make two of my own movies so there’s always a struggle of choosing someone else’s material over my own.

‘Right now I’m going to go do another one of my own first, another thriller.’

The thriller must be the project scheduled to star filming this November his his hometown of Philadelphia. His leading man from The Village, Joaquin Phoenix, was in negotiations to star in Shyamalans’ new flick.

Let’s hope that worked out!

The actors who played the teenage characters in this movie are all adults at this point.

This is widely considered one of the worst movies of all time.

Why does M Night insist on tapdancing on the grave of one of the greatest animated shows ever?

Never knew that. Thought his last few movies were complete bombs.

It's become the "cool" thing to hate him.

 

[Hejdå]

Did nobody tell him about his last movie or....?

 

[Milk N Cookies]

So has anyone gone to see the movie with the creepy grandparents or has it yet to come out?

 

[Lucky Millionaire]

TLA was one of the WOAT films I've ever seen and I liked the show

Not "bombs"per se. The biggest bomb was lady in the water. 70 million budget and only made 72 million. Movies have to make 2-3 times their budget to be profitable.

The happening was actually succesful. After earth and last airbender may have become profitable on dvd/blu ray.

Apparently he's a HUGE fan of the series...

I'd hope that if he has such a big respect for the source material that he'd reboot it, cast an actual Asian lead for Aang, and actually make it FUN.

Yeah, because he's an awful director.
