Peep: Drool-Worthy 'The Last Airbender' Photos

By Sharmaine Jones

Lucky fans in Florida got to meet Sokka and Katara from “The Last Airbender” last week (June 22). Joined by his co-star Nicola Peltz, Jackson Rathbone took a break from his “Twilight” duties to pose for pictures and sign autographs at Adventura Mall in Miami.

“The Last Airbender,” directed by M. Night Shyamalan, is about a 12-year-old boy named Aang who figures out he is the lone Avatar. The Fire Nation wages war against the other “benders” and in order to defeat them, Aang must master all four elements and defeat the Fire Lord to restore balance to their world. We can't wait!

On his journey, Aang is accompanied by “Sokka,” a pessimistic jokester played Rathbone, and “Katara”, a waterbending mature motherly figure played by Peltz. Also starring in the movie is “Slumdog Millionaire” Dev Patel as Prince Zukko, and Cliff Curtis from NBC's “Trauma” as Firelord Ozai.

This is not the typical cast for a movie based on cartoon characters of Asian decent. We'll just have to see if Shyamalan can distract us from that fact with awesome special effects.

"The Last Airbender" is set to hit theaters July 1, 2010. For more amazing photos from the film, visit MTV Splash Page!
