Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies have greenlit the live-action epic adventure M. Night Shyamalan's The Last Airbender, which will launch over the Independence Day weekend in 2010, opening on Friday, July 2, 2010.

Shyamalan, the visionary creator of the Oscar®-nominated The Sixth Sense, Signs and the upcoming The Happening, will direct and produce the epic action-adventure based on a script that he penned.

"I was drawn to the series because of its influences: one being Hayao Miyazaki, said Shyamalan. "I've always been a huge fan of Miyazaki's work. He is one of the greatest storytellers in the world and makes anime films in Japan. His combination of spirituality and super natural elements have brought depth and meaning to his art form. In 'The Last Airbender,' I see an opportunity to make a live-action version of a Miyazaki film."

"We're delighted to be partnering with Nickelodeon to bring M. Night Shyamalan's vision of 'The Last Airbender' to the big screen and to audiences of all ages," said John Lesher, President, Paramount Film Group.

"M. Night Shyamalan's exciting vision for a film with the potential of 'The Last Airbender,' is another perfect fit for the Fourth of July holiday weekend that we have used to launch such blockbusters as 'War of the Worlds' and 'Transformers,'" said Rob Moore, Vice Chairman, Paramount Pictures.

Based on the hugely successful Nickelodeon animated TV series, the live-action feature film is set in a world where human civilization is divided into four nations: Water, Earth, Air and Fire.

The Fire Nation is waging a ruthless, oppressive war against the other three nations. The film's hero, the reluctant young Aang, is the "Last Airbender" -- the Avatar who, according to prophecy, has the ability to manipulate all of the elements and bring all the nations together. Aided by a protective teenage Waterbender named Katara and her bull-headed brother Sokka, Aang proceeds on a perilous journey to restore balance to their war-torn world.

"Iron Man" should be fun, "Wall-E" touching, and who knows what to expect from the likes of "Hancock", "Wanted," "Caspian" or "Hulk".

Yet when polls and general chatter about this Summer's movies comes up, there are two which stand far above the others in terms of anticipation - "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" and "The Dark Knight".

Now it looks like both will also stand above the other films in terms of runtime. Hollywood Elsewhere reports that the new Indy clocks in at 140 minutes, easily beating the 127 minute runtime of "Last Crusade" in 1989. Composer John Williams confirms this as well, saying that the film has seven reels at about 20 minutes each.

Early screenings for the film are also being kept tight. The film has been screened only once so far, and the studio gets to see it next week. After that, the only other screenings will be the premiere in Cannes (expected on the 20th) and press screenings in major international territories the week of release - at the earliest only 2-3 nights before the film's release on May 22nd.

Meanwhile early word on "The Dark Knight" is that Chris Nolan's cut clocks in at nearly three hours and it's unlikely to be cut down much further despite the studio's desire for a more manageable 150 minutes. Nolan's "Batman Begins" came in at 140 minutes so a slightly longer runtime for the sequel doesn't seem surprising and the immaculately conceived Devin Faraci over at CHUD thinks that, and I tend to agree, it'll probably come in at about 165 mins.

Responses to the articles have been interesting in that many seem surprisingly concerned about the Indy runtime, yet have absolutely no problem with a three-hour Batman. Very early buzz on Indy already warns to 'keep your expectations in check'.

andrew zimmern's show is absolutely terrible. so he'll eat a bug? big deal - some people have to eat bugs because they have nothing else to eat...

he should watch anthony bourdain's show once in a while to get a lesson in conveying the interest and passion of foods from other cultures well over a medium which is taste- and aroma-free...

what the hell does that mean? I'm expecting it to be on par with the other films in the series, which were all very good.

Does that mean that I should expect it to be less than very good? I don't expect it to be better than the others. What are they assuming that people are going to expect?

It better not suck. They would have done better to not even make it if it's going to suck. Or not release it.

I hope it isn't one of those Hollywood money-making schemes where they hire a bunch of cheap hacks to make the movie and expect it to be carried to success by star power and the reputation of the other films in the series. That would be a slap in the face of the viewers, and a terrible thing to do to a now-legendary character and story.

Sometimes I think that the film industry does not think very highly of it's audience. They constantly underestimate us, thinking that we will watch anything just because it's there. :p

Sorry, I kinda drifted off topic there...

I would have to think that with all their spooky machine-technology they would be able to find a way to prolong it.

Well here's what I think. The machines were using the humans as an energy source. If they kept all humans in a coma, wouldn't they need to expend energy on the means by which to keep them alive? For example, live support systems.

If the humans are living and breathing of their own accord, having their brains constantly stimulated by the "experience" of living, then they will be creating much more energy (at a total guess) than they would be in a coma or a sedated state.

However your point about the animals is a good one. I guess this could be explained by the war that occurred between the humans and the machines that Morpheous mentions, in which the humans blocked out the sky in an attempt to destroy the energy source of the machines. I would think that at some point during this war, many of the animals would have died off. I mean, especially considering that the humans retreated to live underground.
 
oh man, how am i supposed to survive waiting until THURSDAY for my new samsung 46 inch lcd tv to arrive?!?!?!?!!?
 
so the tv arrived on tuesday and it's incredible.

last night, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was on tv, and my digital tv decoder (inside the new tv) picks up the digital channel it was on quite well. Not so much some of the others (accursed ancient building antenna! :X), but anyway, i compared the quality of the official release DVD to the broadcast and the broadcast was better!
did not expect that.

actually you didn't. earlier this evening while having some sitcom on tv, it goes off and i come back to the room and come across some godawful new tv show with flavor flav that was full of horrible one liners and even more awful acting. and of course, flav, which tops the cake of terribleness.

it is called under one roof. i beg everyone to find this show and watch it in order to better appreciate everything you hold dear. and all aspiring movie and telly producers and actors should watch to realize that indeed, anyone...anyone at all can be a star.

both prequels were horrible. i loved the psychological terror of the original. the other two leaned more on jump out at you scares and way too predictable story lines. sad.
 
totally agreed^ i considered (strongly) editing my post to pluralise the word "prequel" but got distracted before i could.
