The last few movies from M. Night Shyamalan have been sub-par at best (and by last few, I mean since "The Sixth Sense"), and it seems he may have gotten the hint that the whole predictable horror-thriller with a "shocking" twist had worn itself out (unfortunately it took about 7 movies, including an R-rated attempt, to prove this). Now, it seems he's trying his hand at a new genre.
"The Last Airbender," which is based off of the kid's anime cartoon "Avatar," is planned on release for summer of 2010, and it looks as though Shyamalan is finally donning something other than his typical shocker horror. Will it give him new life in cinema? Quite possibly. We can only hope that he's trying something different and learning that making a good movie is different than making a movie with an insane twist (especially when everyone sees it coming). Although, part of me is still expecting the hero to end up being the villain, in some outrageous twist that only Shyamalan can provide. Check out the new trailer below.
