Dylan here with will most likely become the most frequent news in the Avatar World from now on with Season 3 winding down, we have some insights into "The Last Airbender" from 2 new interviews with M. Night. They can be found here and here.
On what the rating of "The Last Airbender" will be, he comments: "'It will be tough to keep it PG from PG-13,' he said about doing a PG family film. 'It will be tricky. I don't know how to make a PG movie so that's going to be much harder, because with R, everything was no problem.'" He talks a lot about the CGI within the 2 interviews, commenting that it will be prevalent in the movie, and he wants to make in emotional and have depth.
Among the 2nd interview is my favorite quote of both of them: "I wish I could put my finger on what it is like to say, 'Oh, it's gonna be like Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings,' but it's not really like that. It's its own thing. We have been striving to find the right balance between a fantasy world, and anchoring it in a reality you can't quite put your finger on, but you know it's real."
I think that the quote "I have been offered more movies in the last six months than I have my entire career combined," is very telling into how passionate M. Night is about Avatar. He's turned down other movies for making "The Last Airbender."
In terms of production news: "We are well underway and we are going to start building sets in August and I am just really excited." Thanks to Nico for the links. -Edit- Here's another interview -Edit- Filming will take place in Vietnam and Greenland. Storyboards for the movie are complete. See this article and another.
