It seems that the film adaptation of Nickelodeon’s popular series The Last Airbender is coming along nicely as evident in these pictures released by USA Today.

In the hands of infamous twist writer/director M. Night Shyamalan, the film will feature 12-year-old newcomer Noah Ringer as Aang and Slumdog star Dev Patel as the fire-bending villain Prince Zuko.

The film is being targeted for release next July.
