The Last Airbender

The film was intended to be the first part of a trilogy, with the next two films being based on books 2 and 3. While the film ultimately made a modest profit at the box office, about $150,000,000 was spent on production with another $130,000,000 spent on advertising, which would bring a total of $280,000,000 spent on one movie. Therefore, The Last Airbender did not gross enough to have Paramount green light the last two sequels. However a new live action remake series of the original animated show is in development for Netflix.

During a large battle scene between the Fire Nation and the Northern Water Tribe, the camera pans to reveal a Fire Nation soldier fighting with no one.

The closing credits feature Aang, Katara and Zuko bending their respective elements of water, fire and air (no earth bending is demonstrated).

Also released in a 3D version.
