The Last AirbenderIt's been a long time since we've heard anything about "The Last Airbender," M. Night Shyamalan's upcoming adaptation of the massively popular anime/manga series. More than six months ago, the first "Airbender" trailer arrived online, and now with six months until the film's July premiere, we get a pair of cool new posters.

Each of the new images features one of the film's main characters — the last of the airbenders, Aang (played by Noah Ringer), and the film's firebending villain, Prince Zuko (played by "Slumdog Millionaire" actor Dev Patel).

M. Night Shyamalan wrapped production on the Philadelphia set of "The Last Airbender" in June. What's the plot twist-loving director been up to since then?

According to one of the film's stars, Shyamalan is stressing the hell out as he pieces together scenes from a four-month production that is two-and-a half-times bigger than anything he's ever worked on before.

The Last AirbenderFROM MTV MOVIES: The lavish ice palace had gone silent. The Fire and Water nations were no longer waging acrobatic battle between its frosty walls, and from the snow covered steps to the blown-glass chandeliers hanging above the balconies, a beautiful tranquility had descended.

Meanwhile, the production was in full, hectic swing across town, where another massive hangar housed another set for M. Night Shyamalan's gargantuan, fantastical adventure story, "The Last Airbender." Packs of extras wearing Samurai-like battle gear wandered here and there. Workers drilled and sawed and hammered. And Shyamalan and his star, Dev Patel of "Slumdog Millionaire" fame, were in the middle of it all, filming a pivotal fight scene.

Take after take, they kept at it, kept pushing to get it perfect, until the director decided to move on. "We'll live with it," Shyamalan said with a smile as MTV News watched from the sidelines.

Airbender"Unbreakable" director M. Night Shyamalan has long declared his plans to make a movie version of "Avatar: The Last Airbender," the beloved animated series, but it's only recently that the filmmaker has actually taken his shot at the franchise.
