Bending.

Avatar: The Last Airbender was an Emmy-winning animated television series that lasted for a good three years before it was finally ended in 2008 with the downfall of the Fire Nation Empire. None expected to see a new Avatar series on the TV screen for a while.

A live-action fantasy film directed by M. Night Shyamalan titled The Last Airbender might be able to satisfy our taste for more element bending action.

Personally I have never quite enjoyed M. Night Shyamalan's films, at least the ones I've seen -- being Signs and The Happening.

However I am putting faith into James Newton Howard, the eight time Academy Award-nominated film score composer, who will be working on the film's score. His most notable works were on Batman Begins, The Dark Knight (both with Hans Zimmer) and King Kong.

Industrial Light & Magic will be handling the visual effects and animation. Now this is the Lucasfilm motion picture visual effects company founded by George Lucas himself that has done the effects for films such as Star Trek, Indiana Jones & the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull and Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen; which by the way hits screens tomorrow!

My only hope is that movie doesn't turn out to be a cheesy and terribly "out-of-the-series" motion picture.
