After what most people called The Last Airbender the worst movie every by M.Night Shyamalan, he has some plans to make a sequel. Critically, the movie got bad reviews and ratings pretty much everywhere. But the box office take this movie took, suggests it wasn’t all that bad a movie.
The Last Airbender has grossed around $250 million worldwide and there seems hope that a sequel would be made, but does anyone want to see it is the big question.
MTV caught up with him during a press junket for his Night Chronicle thriller ‘Devil’, Shyamalan was asked whether he thought a sequel might ever happen. “I don’t [know], because there are so many factors they take into account,” said Shyamalan.
“I guess it will get into an area where it becomes a discussion — like pros and cons,” he added. “Should we make ‘Transformers 8?’ — that kind of conversation.”
Still, with two more “Night Chronicles” movies planned, Shyamalan said he’s concentrating on his thriller work these days — but he’d still be thrilled to do another “Airbender” movie, given the chance.
“Really, I’m just writing my next thriller, and if I get the call, that would be great,” he said.
So what do you think? Want to see another Airbender film?
The next Airbender? No no no no no no. What we should be trying to do is erase the last one, not make another. MNS has definately gone downhill with this, I’m afraid that journalist in Mexico city was right and if MLS intends to keep making crappy films like this, maybe he should take his own advice – it’s professional and filmographic suicide anyway. Cheers!
I’d still like to see another two movies. I loved the aminated series…epic.
I’m my opinion the first half an hour of the movie wasn’t the best but after that I started to warm up to it.
Look at Star wars episode 1, 2 and 3. First one, bah. Second, hmmm. Third, what?! Awesome! Now if they can pull off and second and third movie as awesome as episode 3, Star Wars, everyone’s happy.
