We added a new page to our gallery featuring pictures of a few set pieces from the Southern Air Temple set at the Reading Pagoda location. These pieces were right behind the building used for making props at the Navy base. There are also pictures of props from outside of the Hangar that was used to film the Northern Water Tribe scenes. Enjoy.

The Last Airbender producer Frank Marshall recently took a break from tweeting about Lance Armstrong and announced that post-production on The Last Airbender is going well, and that they are working on a full trailer for Christmas!

Yay, only 4 more months. What shall we do until then?

Hey guys. All the comments disappeared. Don't know why or how. I made a back up the other week, but that doesn't account for the last 4 or 5 news stories. Commenting is still not working on those articles, but I think you should be able to comment on this. Not that you would want to. Ha.

Gene Simmons recently wrote on his official website:

"Yesterday, I went up to Vox, where I was asked to do the voice of the Dragon Spirit in M Night Shyamalan's forthcoming AIRBENDER movie. This may or may not come to fruition. We'll see."

Looks like he might be trying to be coy about the whole situation. However, it looks like the Dragon Spirit legitimacy question is now answered.

Seeing how last week there was lots of talk of Kataang vs. Zutara, I thought there wouldn't be a better episode than The Southern Raiders.

Summary: Zuko knows who killed Kya, and he is determined to redeem himself to Katara by helping her find the murderer. At the encounter, Katara lets her anger out, but shows mercy to Yan Rah in the end.

What did you think of the episode? Was there more Zutara or Sukka? Tell us what you think below!

MTV Movie Blog got a hold of Jackson Rathbone at a recent Twilight convention and managed to poke him hard enough to get him to talk about playing Sokka in The Last Airbender.

"I got to do this fight scene where I get attacked by three different people at the same time; I’m running through a battle trying to find my little sister, worried about where she is, and this guy charges me with a sword! So, I make the split decision to just tackle him, take him straight to the ground, and then someone else comes behind me and tries to slash me in the back - so I pull that guy over me, and he hits his own guy.”

Rathbone said that he enjoyed being an action star. “It was crazy! I’m attacked by three different people [in that scene], and I have to fend them all off with a boomerang! I’m throwing people over my back, I’m constantly being stabbed at -- it was a blast!"

Jackson noted that he had a lot of fun filming the upcoming film based on the animated TV series, adding that he also got to “ride on Appa, that big beast flying-bison creature.”

We reported back at the end of June that one of the final filming locations for The Last Airbender was at Founders Hall at Girard College in Philadelphia.

The Last Airbender composer James Newton Howard was recently the focus of an All Access 360 Photo Shoot for Yamaha. Although he doesn't talk about Airbender specifically, it was obvious that he was working on composing the music for the teaser trailer while the footage was shot. Howard also talks about his working relationship with The Last Airbender director, M. Night Shyamalan.
