Night makes appearance at Nickelodeon’s Upfront

Thursday, March 11th, 2010 by Specter

M. Night Shyamalan made an appearance at Nickelodeon’s Upfront in New York.  There is no word on if he showed any new footage from his Avatar: The Last Airbender adaptation that is coming this summer.  At the event, Nickelodeon presented their new and returning properties to exhibitors and different media.

Nickelodeon got its Thursday-morning upfront pitch rolling with an extended cameo by director M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense), who is helming the theatrical The Last Airbender for Nickelodeon Movies. Based on Nick’s animated strip Avatar: The Last Airbender, Shyamalan’s live-action flick opens July 2.

Have a question for Night about THE LAST AIRBENDER that you want an answer to?  Well, LastAirbenderFans.com’s Nightbender has been invited to a roundtable discussion with Night, and wants your questions submitted so that he can choose the best to potentially ask while at the round table.  Night will be answering the questions on video, to be posted on the website sometime later on.

For more details, follow this link: Roundtable Discussion w/ M. Night Shyamalan, Pt. 1

And for those wondering why I’m not going, to be honest, I don’t know.  But I’ve been pretty busy with marriage prep.  You see, I proposed to my girlfriend of four years on the set of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.  You can read about it at that link.  I’ve had the opportunity to meet Michael Apted, now twice, as well as Andrew Adamson and many other amazing people.  Someday, the opportunity to meet Night will present itself.  If you see him, put in a good word for me.

C’mon Hollywood …don’t give up on Shyamalan yet!

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010 by Specter

From JoBlo.com: Drinking with co-workers the other night, the topic of movies came up (as it always does) and my buddy Adam started listing what he felt were the best movie twists of all time. It was by no means a long list, but was summed up with his favorite being Edward Norton’s character turn in PRIMAL FEAR and then second favorite being that Bruce Willis was actually dead in THE SIXTH SENSE. I agreed with both choices and it got me thinking about M. Night Shyamalan. Shyamalan is now a household name, but his genius when it comes to films is split down the middle for most people (and in some cases resting more on the negative side). With a slew of films on the horizon, I’m hoping he can turn that around.

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.

M. Night Compares Last Airbender to The Matrix, Star Wars

Monday, February 1st, 2010 by Specter

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.’ ”

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.

“I’m sure he’s pulling his hair out somewhere in an edit room, but that’s the process,” laughed Aasif Mandvi, who plays Zhao, a nefarious member of the Fire nation and the rival to Dev Patel’s Prince Zuko.

“There’s a lot of martial arts, there’s a lot of really cool special effects and CGI and action,” explained Mandvi, who stopped by to chat with MTV News during the red carpet premiere of the Jude Law-starring “Hamlet” production on Broadway.

Saturday, October 3rd, 2009 by Specter

CraveOnline interviewed Cliff Curtis about his work on the tv series Trauma and The Last Airbender came up.  Here’s a portion of that interview.

CraveOnline: How was shooting The Last Airbender?

Cliff Curtis: It was wonderful. It was really great and it’s also great that I’m going to be able to work the two. I’m not giving up film. I’m just doing another job that happens to be on television.
