Roundtable Discussion with M. Night Shyamalan
Tuesday, March 30th, 2010 by Specter
Teddy from Last Airbender Fans got to sit down for a roundtable discussion with M. Night Shyamalan. The hour long discussion shows Night’s knowledge of the Last Airbender series, as well as his plans for the three movie arc pretty clearly. Here’s an excerpt.
As someone who has typically created your own stories, was it difficult to write this even though you were a big fan of the series? What was that like?
Liberating. The problem with being auteur-ish is you struggle so much to hold on to your vision. That’s a great thing and it’s a bad thing. You can’t see it from a perspective, and be able to judge it honestly. Maybe I wouldn’t be able to have a conversation about the tonality because I’m so “it has to be this way.” I love the show and I love almost everything in the series, so I know why I would put it in, but I have the perspective to say “okay, by pulling out one line here it becomes more meaningful.” So I think it’s been a good thing. I really enjoy working on the movie, which is the main thing. I think you’ll feel that. It’s not work to me, analyzing it and getting the balance right.

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.
