It’s finally arrived: only a few days after its spot at the Superbowl, the full theatrical trailer for The Last Airbender hit the internet last night. At a little over two minutes, it expands on the some of the footage we’ve already seen in flashed with other bits and pieces that are entirely new. Some of the acting (”I knew you were real. I always knew you’d return”) occurs as a bit wooden, but on the plus side, some of the effects shots look gigantic and the choreography is superb. Check it out below:

As of yesterday, a new 30 second teaser for M. Night Shyamalan’s live-action adaptation of Avatar: The Last Airbender emerged online following its spot on the Superbowl. Check it out below:

It contains only a few tantalising shots and a single line of voiceover, but it’s enough to make me more excited for The Last Airbender than for this year’s other comparable upcoming fantasy-actioners, Clash of the Titans and Prince of Persia. The choreography and the effects shots seem to suggest that Mr. Shyamalan has envisioned a vibrant and exciting fantasy world that does the scope of the source material justice. According to the trailer, we’ll find out for sure on July 2nd.

It’s very brief, basically just showing some clips of Aang training in a temple. Embedding of the video has been disable so you’ll have to click here or the picture below to view it.

Of course look for more footage to show up online after the show airs.  Check your local listings for show times.

If you get to catch the show, let us know what you think on the Forum.

In additional Airbending news, DeeDee Ricketts, who is in charge of extras casting for The Last Airbender, is on the hunt for extras for the roles of villagers and soldiers. For villagers, she is searching for men and women between the ages of 17 and 80 and of white, Korean or Japanese ethnic background; for soldiers, white men between 18 and 40 with blue or green eyes. Shooting for these extras will begin next week and continue for several weeks.

As Transformers is going to be available in IMAX format, and as IMAX theaters generally only show trailers for other IMAX-available movies, this in turn raised the issue of whether The Last Airbender would be shown in the hallowed ultra-super-mega-huge form. Marshall stated, “I’m not a big fan of blowing up 35mm for IMAX screens. An IMAX movie should be shot and composed in 70mm…” While this isn’t a definite indictment of IMAX, it does seem that The Last Airbender’s chances of making its way to the super-cinema are slim.

Nevertheless, it now appears that we’ll get our first glimpse of Aang and co. in two months’ time. For further discussion, head over to the Forums

It looks like M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender is moving along pretty well.  Recently he cast several actors in some of the key roles of the film.  If you all remember that open casting call for Aang that was held a while back, that produced 12 year old Karate Champion Noah Ringer.    I searched for some photos but couldn’t find any.  Hopefully more will surface as the production moves along.

In other roles we’ll be seeing Nicola Peltz (Deck the Halls) as Sokka’s sister Katara, singer Jesse McCartney is in negotiations to play Prince Zuko, and Jackson Rathbone (Twilight) will be Sokka.

And speaking of Jackson Rathbone, MTV recently spoke with him about his upcoming role in the film.  Check out the video below and go HERE to read a text interview.
