Don’t forget to tune-in to Super Bowl XLIV this Sunday on CBS to see a 30-second TV Spot for M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender.

You may not know her name, but 15-year-old actress Nicola Peltz – who stars in the upcoming M. Night Shyamalan fantasy The Last Airbender in the role of Katara – could be changing that very soon. Here’s why, according to People.com:

• M. Night gives her a rave review.
“I told the studio I didn’t want to make this movie without her,” Shyamalan tells PEOPLE. “I said that only once before in my career, and that was when I met Haley [Joel Osment] in the Sixth Sense auditions.” They’re buds off-camera, too: He came to Peltz’s 15th birthday party with his daughters.

We know that he’s previously called the Last Airbender trilogy his Lord of the Rings.  Now he’s also comparing it to Star Wars and The Matrix with good reason to do so.

For M. Night Shyamalan, it was his then 7-year old daughter who hooked him on the Nickelodeon series “Avatar: The Last Airbender.”

“She made us watch as a family and all four of us were hooked, “ Shyamalan said. “I was like, ‘This would make a killer movie.  And my wife who really has been kind of in neutral about my career was insane about it. Insane about it: ‘You have to do it. This is it. This is the one.’ ”

Reed sent word that ComingSoon.net has released two new banners for The Last Airbender.  Man… these are AWESOME.  That is all, enjoy!

According to Advertising Age, Paramount Pictures has purchased ad time during this year’s Super Bowl for The Last Airbender. Paramount also bought time for their other summer tent-pole film, Iron Man 2, as well as Martin Scorsese’s Shutter Island. Last year’s Super Bowl pulled in an impressive 97 million viewers. That is a huge amount of exposure of Airbender if the ratings this year are the same. The commercial will likely only be between 30 and 35 seconds long, and will air sometime during the first or second quarter. Super Bowl XLIV will air February 7th on CBS.

The Last Airbender is one of my most anticipated films of 2010, and not just because M. Night Shyamalan directed it.  I’m a big fan of the series, and have watched the entire run a few times.  Now, courtesy of LastAirbenderFans.com comes pictures of some incredible stuff we’re going to be seeing in the film.  Seriously, this is going to be epic.

Paranormal Activity director Oren Peli was interviewed by DNA India, and mentioned Shyamalan.  Not only that, but listed all of Shymalan’s films seemingly off the top of his head.

Have you seen any Bollywood movie? Which Indian actor/director do you like and why?
Not the exact Bollywood film but I am a true fan of Indian-born film director M. Night Shyamalan and have seen all his films be it The Happening, or Lady in the Water, or The Village, Signs, Unbreakable, The Sixth Sense, Wide Awake or Praying with Anger. I love the way he has some sort of twist in the end or surprise ending in his films and often use an event from the main character’s past as a major connection to what is happening in the present.

“The Sixth Sense” director M. Night Shyamalan has a pretty good track record for launching child stars in his thrillers, but “The Last Airbender” (which bows next July) posed a special challenge since it was based on Nickelodeon’s popular “Avatar” cartoon.

“Typically I’ll find the actor and then mold the part to fit the child, but this was a pre-existing character, and I had to hope that this person existed,” Shyamalan tells Variety.
