Nah, hopefully all of his flops have convinced him that it's time to ditch the "twist" style.. I doubt The Last Airbender will have a twist tothe story so it could work..

[h2]First Look: The Cast of The Last Airbender[/h2]
Posted on Wednesday, December 10th, 2008 at 4:17 am by: Peter Sciretta

Entertainment Weekly reports that M. Night Shyamalan has found the cast for The Last Airbender, the live-action adaptation of the popular Nickelodeon anime-inspired series Avatar.

Karate star Noah Ringer (discovered in a Texas open casting call) will play Aang, the Avatar (the spirit of the planet manifested in human form), the last surviving Airbender and a monk of the Air Nomads, a race of people with the unique ability to manipulate the air around them. He is assigned with the task of keeping the Four Nations at peace.

Jackson Rathbone (Twilight's Jasper Hale) is in talks to play Aang's friend Sokka, a warrior of the South Pole's Southern Water Tribe, a race of people who can control and manipulate water.

Nicola Peltz (Deck the Halls) has been cast as Sokka's fourteen-year-old sister Katara, the last remaining Waterbender of her entire Tribe.

Pop/R&B singer Jesse McCartney is in talks to play the Fire Nation's evil prince Zuko. Exiled from the Fire Nation by his father, Zuko is sent to capture the Avatar in order to restore his honor and right to the throne.

The Last Airbender is being targeted for a July 2nd 2010 release.

...although Jesse McCartney is gone.
it's the dude from Slumdog now


just a little bit of color now...

 

[thunderchunk69]

as long as they gave white people the main roles....

Just, kidding, don't know anything about the show/movie

 

[jpioneer]

Another role for Ben

 

[swyftdahoe]

Hmm.. on imdb, Dev Patel (Slumdog) is listed to play Zuko though.. But damn, this is Disney Channel casting..

On a tangent, I had heard that M Night was going to direct Life of Pi.. looks like that's no more but I'm almost certain they have to cast Dev Patel asPi Patel.. Perfect age and no more famous a brown actor right now..

 

[cronicmole]

This will not end well

yeah...He was a replacement.

 

[swyftdahoe]

Well, anyways.. this movie could work and since there's less emotional ties to the story/characters since it hasn't been around forever, casting can bemore flexible than it was for DB.
I just hope M Night captures the spirit of the tv show.. It was different ya know? Definitely didn't feel like a Disney show or anything..
