Some person re-posted this. I’m not quite certain where this information came from and I can’t exactly clarify if this is true or not though it does seem official. Here it is anyway.

Yesterday I was called for a screening where Paramount showed us a new trailer for the upcoming The Last Airbender, and I assure you: it will be awesome!

Everything went by so fast, despite the trailer was probably around two minutes. Forgive me that my memory isn’t that good, and forgive my mobile phone for the low quality pic it took.

The trailer started with Aang running through a beautiful, lush rainforest/swamp environment for multiple seconds. Then he arrived at this cave, which he entered. As he walked in the total darkness, you could hear the narrator saying something like: ‘You have a destiny.’

After a title card that said ‘Paramount Pictures and Nickelodeon Movies present’, epic images of the four bending styles flashed by. The only two shots I remember where those of an unknown Earthbending guy kicking two enormous rocks out of the ground and the Fire Nation Prince (I’m sorry, I’ve only watched the show a couple of times) kicking a huge amount of fire into the screen.

Then we saw a fierce confrontation of that Fire Nation Prince and the General played by the ‘The Daily Show’ actor, in which they yelled at each other what was best for the Fire Nation’s future. The narrator had all these lines about ‘faith’ and ‘destiny’ and that there were people after him (Aang?).

Another title card that said ‘this summer’. Then there were more shots: the gang flying on the furry bison, avoiding fireballs fired from the ships below, ladders pushed against a high wall that almost seemed to be carved out of the ice, fighting Water- and Firebenders at the same location, some dramatic character shots (one of them was a really ‘touching/realistic’ shot of the furious Fire Nation Prince marching across the deck of a ship, yelling ‘I want him alive!’ and one shot of one of the girl fighters with the fans jumping out of a tree [see the picture below])

It ended with Aang speaking to a large group of people (reminded me of the scene in James Cameron’s: Avatar where Jake gives an encouraging speech to the natives) where he reminded them of the fact that although he was the restorer of balance, he could not safe the world at his own.

I’ll contact my colleague if he knows some more about what we’ve seen, but for now, this is all I can remember of the trailer. It was funny because it wasn’t scored yet, it was just sound effects, drumbeats and the narration, felt less epic than it would probably feel with a proper score.

I have no clue when this trailer will be out, but I bet that it’ll be very soon. It was supposed to be a surprise (Paramount really wanted this to remain secret until the last moment) but I’m a big M. Night fan, so I thought you’d appreciate it if you’d hear some about this upcoming epic!

Here’s even one photo that was taken by that person.

Another thing, PARAMOUNT IS HAVING ANOTHER CASTING CALL! If you want to be in “The Last Airbender” and you are in Philadelphia on March 13, 2010, why not audition? More details can be found at the flyer HERE.

Special thanks to LaF for the announcement.

One last thing. A friend of mine opened an Ashley Tisdale fansite. Please visit Adoring Ashley HERE. It would mean so much to him and to me if you did.

Another TV spot of “The Last Airbender” was released during the Winter Olympics. Check it out below:

A test screening was held in Pheonix, Arizona of a rough cut of “The Last Airbender”. Two people decided to share their opinions online at Ain’t it Cool.

One of the reviews was a good one:

So I just watched The Last Airbender here in Phoenix, AZ! I thought I’d write a little something up for you guys to put on your site.

First off, I’ll state right from the start that I’ve never seen the TV show that this is based on, though I had heard of it so had an idea as to what to expect. I’ll also state that the movie is still REALLY rough. A lot of effects to finish, scenes to massage, and possibly (hopefully in a few cases) even scenes to reshoot. They’ve got some time, though. (At least the music sounded like a great James Newton Howard original, unlike other test screenings I’ve seen where it’s all music from previous movies.) Because it’s so rough, I don’t think it’s too fair of me to comment on my overall opinion of particular problems I had with the movie as most of them will undoubtedly be fixed by the time it’s released. At least I hope so. I will comment on a few specifics, though.

I’m assuming that the story is similar to that of the TV show so I won’t go into it, but it’s very clear – and was made even more clear by the guy speaking before the movie started – that this is the first of a trilogy. (Let’s hope it fares better than The Golden Compass so they actually get to make the other two.) This movie deals with Aang, the Avatar, learning to master water and stopping the firebenders from taking over everything. Aang is played by Noah Ringer who absolutely looks great in this role. For a kid carrying the film as the titular character, he does a great job for the most part. I’m convinced that with a few roughly edited and performed scenes fixed by the time it’s released, he’ll prove he’s worth his salt. It looks like this is his first movie too, so I’m even more impressed.

Shaun Toub plays Uncle Iroh and is totally one of THOSE guys who is in a million things but I never knew his name. Anyway, by far he is the BEST thing about the movie. Great character, great performance. And Dev Patel was also good as the cast out son of the fire lord. A lot of the others were neither here nor there for me, but I had a really hard time watching Jackson Rathbone, who plays Sokka. Talk about overacting. Not a fan of him in this film. Ugh. Here’s hoping they find a way to smooth his performance out, or at least downplay him a bit. (Then I have to keep telling myself that maybe he was cast to draw the tween and teen girls who love him in Twilight. Who knows…)

The action scenes work pretty well, but only one really stood out for me at this time, which takes place in an ancient airbender temple and had some nice set pieces. Plus it was fun to watch Noah Ringer’s double (a woman with a shaved head) performing the fight scenes – they hadn’t gotten around to doing a face replacement yet. The climactic end sequence was hard to judge because some was just so rough. Still, Aang managed to pull off some great work in this scene and when finished, I think it’ll be a great sequence with a definite Part I ending.

Overall, I think they have a fun-to-watch summer movie here. I’d put it more on the Narnia level rather than the Lord of the Rings level, but still it has a nice feel to it and unlike most of the other test screenings I’ve been to, I’m actually really looking forward to watching this one again when released to see how it looks in the end, and hoping I am not as bothered by Rathbone then. I’m hoping it’ll help Shyamalan get out of his rut, because I haven’t liked anything he’s done in quite a while (though I’m convinced that if he made Lady in the Water a children’s fantasy with the characters all kids, it would’ve worked and been accepted). Anyway, there’s my two cents.

And the other one was not so good:

I saw a test screening of “The Last Airbender” tonight at a theater in Glendale, Arizona. They said we were the 1st audience to see this, and based on what I saw, I hope it was the last audience because the movie was pretty horrible. I saw an extremely rough cut of the film (missing special effects and I assume music) but I seriously doubt they can go back and fix the acting.

Whoever cast this film should be taken to task, because, if this was the best group of actors you could assemble, I’d hate to see the ones you rejected. This was some of the most wooden acting I’ve ever seen. The lead child actor was the main culprit and he seemed amateurish compared to some of the others, his two friends weren’t much better. Out of the adult actors, the guy who portrayed Commander Zhao should never be allowed to act again. His line reading was atrocious, especially when acting next to others such as Cliff Curtis (although he’s been better) and Dev Patel . They were actually the only ones coming out of this one unscathed.

There were also some weird scenes here and there interjected throughout the movie. An oddly miss-placed scene featuring a foot massage as well as some corny attempts setting up romances. One scene that I laughed at (but was intended to be serious) is when a certain baddy punches a fish to death. The horror the horror!

The only redeeming value of it was the story which was pretty cool as it dealt with the different elements (Air, Water, Fire and Earth) and groups of people who are able to control it. I’ve never seen the tv show this was based on but I thought it was cool.

M. Night sets this one up for a sequel or two because I guess the Airbender has to ‘learn’ new elements (Fire and Earth) to complete his destiny. I doubt this series will get past this first one.

Well, we’ll just have to find out what the movie is like when it airs this Summer.
