Last week, theaters welcomed Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief to the box office; and warmly, we might add. More importantly to us, however, was that the film included the newtrailer to M. Night Shyamalan’s upcoming film The Last Airbender – longer than the trailer shown during the Super Bowl. The story, based on Nickelodeon’s Avatar The Last Airbender, tells the tale of Aang, a 12-year-old boy (played by Noah Ringer) who provides the last hope for restoring harmony to a land consumed by chaos. Take a look at the trailer right here and see for yourself! (more… )

Nickelodeon and Viacom Consumer Products, a segment of Nickelodeon which is a segment of MTV (these companies are monsters!) have recently announced a plan to distribute Avatar: The Legend of Aang branded magazines throughout Germany. The plan promises Avatar fans (no, not that Avatar) can get their hands on the magazines through 2011. Each special magazine comes with add-ons and tie-ins, including a DVD with episodes of the popular anime-like animated series. So, how can you get them? …aside from living in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, or elsewhere with access to eBay? Local kiosks, newsstands, and supermarkets will be stocking the books, ready for eager fans to get their hands on the books. (more… )

Air, Water, Earth, Fire. Four nations tied by destiny. But when the Fire Nation launches a brutal attack on the others, the world sinks into war. A century of battles rage, with no hope in sight, until Aang begins to unlock his true calling, and discovers he is the lone Avatar with the power to manipulate all four elements. Sound familiar? It should! Nickelodeon’s hit animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender is going to get the hollywood treatment in live-action form, thanks to M. Night Shyamalan, Nickelodeon Movies, and Paramount Pictures. The film, starring Noah Ringer, Nicola Peltz, and Jackson Rathbone, hits theaters on July 2nd, 2010, but those at the San Diego Comic-Con got to see an early teaser trailer …which you now can see too, after the break!

Nickelodeon and Viacom Consumer Products are working with Mercopol to bring us tons of products based on Avatar: The Legend of Aang and SpongeBob SquarePants. That’s a great one-two combo! The deal will cover a range of products including toys, backpacks, stationery, alarm clocks, key rings, hair brushes and combs (not for Aang, I’d think! ), and even table and chair sets! The products will start to be available later this year.

The internet has spoken! Buzz is all around that M. Night Shyamalan has begun casting roles his upcoming, live-action film, “Avatar: The Last Airbender”.  The movie, which is based on Nickelodeon’s animated super-hit series, has already cast Aang, Sokka, Katara, and maybe even Zuko.  So exciting!  The flick will hit theaters in July of 2010, but it’s good to hear progress is already being made.
