M. Night Shyamalan | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Jackson Rathbone has stood up for his Last Airbender director, M. Night Shyamalan, in a new interview.

The 25-year-old actor, who attended the now infamous press conference where Night lashed out against a reporter, chatted with MTV News about his director.

“The critics in the U.S. … I just don’t think they really like M. Night Shyamalan anymore,” Jackson said. “I don’t know why. It’s sad because he’s such an amazing director and an amazing person.”

“Overseas, internationally, they still love him and think his work is genius,” he added. “It’s just one of those things – art is subjective.”

M. Night Shymalan didn’t hold back when he addressed a reporter in Mexico City at a Last Airbender press conference earlier this week.

After the reporter asked if Night felt like he was trying to win his audience back after they’d lost faith in his work, he retorted, “I think if I thought like you I’d kill myself.”

“Everything you said is the opposite of my instinct as an artist,” Night added. “The way you just thought, I literally would kill myself.”

The 39-year-old director, who cited massive success in France, Spain and Japan, continued, “I’ve literally turned down more money in my life to do things because I just don’t believe in it.”

Director M. Night Shyamalan and the cast of The Last Airbender attend a photocall on Tuesday (July 13) at Villamagna Hotel in Madrid, Spain.

Jackson Rathbone wore a fun bandanna for the shots as he posed with co-stars Nicola Peltz and Dev Patel.
