Shyamalan's Cast for The Last Airbender?

December 10, 2008

Entertainment Weekly is reporting that writer/director M. Night Shyamalan has found his cast for The Last Airbender:

After an open casting call in Texas, Shyamalan discovered karate star Noah Ringer and offered him the part of Airbender's 12-year old hero, Aang, an Avatar with superpowers who must stop the Fire Nation from destroying the world. Twilight's Jackson Rathbone has been asked to play Aang's pal Sokka, while Nicola Peltz (Deck the Halls) will star as his sister Katara. Genial singer Jesse McCartney, meanwhile, is negotiating to play against type in the role of the Fire Nation's evil prince Zuko.

Paramount will release the big screen version of the Nickelodeon series on July 2, 2010.

Zuko is supposed to be a bad ass...why Jesse? He can sing to his enemies and maybe that'll fight them off...

why is shyamalan doing this.....he better not stick in evil killing trees and bush dogs. His stories are as poor as his direction lately. Only plus he has is possible Jame Newton Howard scoring the film for him.

I think this might be to little to late for Shyamalan's career. The start of his fall was The Village and it's been down hill since then. It's going to take awhile for him to get back into people's good graces.

Said it before...will say it again: Keep your eyes on Jackson Rathbone, whatever your feelings are about Twilight, he's gonna get bigger.
