In a recent set visit Producer Frank Marshal and Director M. Night Shyamalan spoke about The Last Airbender and their plans for a trilogy, and it’s timetable for completion.

“We’re shooting them one at a time, because they’re being written one at a time,” says veteran producer… Frank Marshall. “Night is now working on the script for the second movie, but he hasn’t had time to write the second or third ones. He’s looking at the arc of all three. One of the things we’ll be doing is using the sets, ships and elements for each different nation in this film and incorporating them into movies two and three. We’re not waiting. There just isn’t enough time. Night will finish this movie, then the script and then we’ll prepare for the next one. I think it’ll probably happen over six years.”

M. Night went on to talk about his view of the story of The Last Airbender.

“THE LAST AIRBENDER will be a very entertaining movie, a really fun summer film,” says Shyamalan. “But underneath that, it’s serious and talks about genocide, balance, our connection to the planet and all those things that interest me if you’ve seen the other movies that I’ve made. It felt like an important film.”

Noah Ringer and Dev Patel also got a chance to speak about their experiences.  To read the full interview head on over to TheLastAirbenderFilm.com
