Avatar: The Last Airbender

[Lu]

XD Avatar is just epic in general. I hope, HOPE the movie is good; I have high hopes for it so far. But then I think I'll enjoy it whatever happens because it's Avatar xD As long as they keep to the basic storyline and get the characterisations right, I'll be happy. Amazing effects would be nice, but not essential.

Aww, no new clips


But there was a TLA poster up in one of the theatres here

hijIIJSIAUIJS!!!! YOU SAW A POSTER?! I'm so jealous.
I'll probably freak when I see one, then I'll have to try and cover it up because none of my friends/family know about my little obsession will all things Avatar related xD Hah.

There was one new scene in there...When Aang's escaping from, what looks like, the Fire Nation ship at the beginning and he air bends himself out of the room.

The poster was one of the promotional ones


Oh, and have I mentioned that I hope they keep the original Avatar theme in? That would be so awesome ;D

[Lu]

^Oh, that would be epic

How amazing does this sound? (if you don't already know, it's a possible new trailer)

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 fangs 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!

The person also took a photo:

^Obviously a Kyoshi warrior

When they said it quickly goes through all the element bending at the start of the trailer, it totally reminded me of the Avatar cartoon opening titles. ;D
And we FINALLY get to heat Noah speak! AT LAST.

Is this a reliable soure? Because if it is, then it would be awesome because that trailer sounds epic

[Valerie ☆]

Those pop out posters at my theater are pretty spectacular. I wouldn't be surprised if we get a trailer. Even a small one would do. But it better be a good trailer.

[Simba]

Does anyone have the latest trailer (the one that we got in Feb) downloaded? They deleted it off YouTube. >_>

[Lu]

^ I have them downloaded, I'll try and find the download links for you...

I think it is...I found it when I went on an Airbender news hunt ;D

It's apparently going to be released with Iron Man 2.

I still want the UK release date for TLA to change. I mean AUGUST?! C'mon Paramount! Everyone would have downloaded it by then.

Valerie - AH! I want to see some posters. Damn the UK for not advertising this ANYWHERE. >_>

[Simba]

Thanks Lu, I appreciate it

Here's the poster in one of the theatres here- it's in bad quality because I took it from my phone.

That's amazing! I want to see an epically awesome poster like that. *shakes fist at cinema's*
Hardly anyone knows about A:TLA here, I've slipped it into conversation with family and friends a couple of times, seeing if they know what it is, and their faces really do resemble this emoticon:

I fear I may be the only one for miles. XD Here's to a trip to the cinema on my own when it gets released!

[Simba]

I know how you feel, everytime I say "So do you guys watch Avatar?" people go "OMG I LOVED THAT MOVIE JAMES CAMERON FTW" and I go -__________________________-
