It was pretty disappointing last night in terms of Super Bowl movie trailers. The Wolfman, Alice in Wonderland and Prince of Persia all had ads but there was nothing really new about them compared to previous trailers. The only new trailer was for The Last Airbender. The movie is based on the extremely popular Nickelodeon cartoon Avatar: The Last Airbender but they had to drop the Avatar in order to avoid confusion with a certain other movie. I’ve never seen the show but from what I gather there are different warring nations that control different elements such as water and fire. Our hero is the only person in the world who can control the power of wind and air. The movie is being directed by M. Night Shyamalan, who I don’t trust as far I can throw him but it might be interesting to see how he fares with an adaptation of an established franchise instead of his rapidly diminishing original fare. Check out the trailer below and the movie is coming out this summer.
