Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender – earning the film a solid 7% on Rotten Tomatoes – might indicate that Aang and co. have bent their last on the big screen, the $250 million it has so far banked at the box office suggest we shouldn’t write off a sequel just yet.
Talking to MTV during a press junket for the first of his Night Chronicle thrillers Devil, Shyamalan was asked whether he thought a sequel might ever see the greenlight.
“I don’t [know], because there are so many factors they take into account,” answered the director, adding, “I guess it will get into an area where it becomes a discussion — like pros and cons,” he added. “Should we make ‘Transformers 8?’ — that kind of conversation.”
With another two Night Chronicle’s movies planned, which he will conceive and produce though not write or direct, Shyamalan is very mush focused on his thrillers. He would, however, be open to returning to the saga.
“Really, I’m just writing my next thriller, and if I get the call, that would be great.”
