James Cameron’s long-in-development SF project Avatar (previously reported as Project 880) has been greenlit by Fox, with a planned April start and release in the summer of 2009. In the meantime, Paramount has its own Avatar project: Avatar: The Last Airbender, a cartoon series on Nickelodeon, will get the big-screen live-action treatment with M. Night Shyamalan writing, directing and producing as part of a three picture deal with Paramount’s MTV Films and Nick Movies division.
