USA Today has revealed the first two images from M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender based on the Nickelodeon cartoon "Avatar: The Last Airbender."
The image you see above features Dev Patel of Slumdog Millionaire fame playing the film's bad guy, Zuko, a "firebender" who can manipulate flames and the image at the bottom of this post is of Noah Ringer, a 12-year-old playing Aang, an Avatar who can manipulate weather, because he usually shaves his head to keep him cool for tae kwon do. Ringer didn't need a lot of manipulation to get into the part as he keeps his head shaved and is an expert in martial arts.
The Last Airbender is the first film in a planned trilogy revolving around Aang, a young hero who has the ability to manipulate the elements and stop a ruthless nation from destroying the three other nations.
The film will be released by Paramount Pictures and has a July 2, 2010 release date. Along with Ringer and Patel, the film features Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone and Jessica Jade Andres and is directed by M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense).
