Posted 3/16/10 5:01 pm EST by in News


The Last AirbenderYou know, being the editor of Splash Page isn't all about free comic books and chats with Hollywood types, folks — sometimes it's even cooler than that. Case in point: last week's brunch with "The Last Airbender" director M. Night Shyamalan.

On Thursday morning, the celebrated filmmaker sat down with a select group of news outlets for a friendly, frank discussion of his upcoming live-action adaptation of the hit Nickelodeon animated series "Avatar: The Last Airbender." Scheduled to hit theaters July 2, the film is the first chapter in a three-part story that has the "Sixth Sense" director tackling his first big-budget, effects-driven adventure.

Shyamalan took a break from post-production tweaking to discuss all things "Airbender" with our small group, and while the video will be posted soon, I can offer you a quick peek at what the conversation covered — after all, you provided some of the questions! Read More...

Felicia DayWith prominent roles in Joss Whedon's television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and his online musical "Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog," actress Felicia Day already has a lot of fans — but for many people (myself included), it's her ongoing web series "The Guild" that first won her a place of honor in our geeky little hearts.

Chronicling the adventures of gamer Cyd Sherman as she navigates the troubled waters of real-life drama and relationships in both the online and offline worlds, "The Guild" has been described as a "love letter to gaming." Day stars, writes and produces the award-winning web series, which recently saw its third season released on DVD.

And now she's bringing it to the comic book world.

MTV News caught up with the hardworking actress/filmmaker to chat about the upcoming "The Guild" comic hitting shelves March 24 from Dark Horse Comics. Day wrote the script for the three-issue series, which will feature art by "Street Angel" creator Jim Rugg. Read More...
