First Look at M.Night Shyamalan’s Last Airbender

Writer and director M. Night Shyamalan is back on the scene after last years disappointing thriller The Happening. The director who is best known for The Sixth Sense and Signs is working on a new film set to be released next summer. The film titled, The Last Airbender, is about the adventures of the successor to a long line of Avatars who must put aside his irresponsible ways and stop the Fire Nation from enslaving the Water, Earth and Air nations. Sounds like a weird story but I would expect nothing less from the guy who brought us Lady in the Water and Unbreakable. Shyamalan is a skilled storyteller so I look forward to his next cinematic adventure. USA Today has published two new photos from the movie featuring Noah Ringer and Dev Patel (Slumdog Millionaire.) Check out the photos after the jump.

The Last Airbender hits theaters July 2, 2010.
