Director M. Night Shyamalan is preparing to release his first big-budget, effects-driven blockbuster, “The Last Airbender,” based on the Nickelodeon cartoon “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” on July 1. And his next original film is a project for which the stars now seem to be aligning.

The Hollywood Reporter’s Heat Vision blog reveals that those stars include Bradley Cooper, Gwyneth Paltrow and Bruce Willis, who are all “loosely attached” to headline the film. No plot details have been revealed, as is usual with Shyamalan, but the filmmaker has assistants ferrying his script between studio execs, who are observed by those same assistants and are expected to surrender the script immediately after finishing.

“Lady in the Water” aside, Shyamalan’s films continue to make money, though his most recent efforts have fared poorly with critics. And nothing has performed as well as the director’s debut effort, “The Sixth Sense,” which starred Willis and earned almost $700 million in worldwide ticket sales. The actor also worked with Shyamalan on his “Sixth Sense” follow-up, “Unbreakable.” If Willis is cast in this mysterious “Airbender” follow-up, it would be the pair’s first time working together since 2000.

Cooper, who is just coming off of smiling for the cameras in support of this summer’s “The A-Team” and presenting duties at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards, has a big 2011 coming up. He’ll star in the Todd Phillips-directed ensemble comedy “The Hangover 2,” reprising his role from last summer. He’ll also lead a cast that includes Robert De Niro, Anna Friel and Abbie Cornish in an adaptation of Alan Glynn’s novel “The Dark Fields.”

Paltrow is also coming off of a big press push for her own work in 2010 summer blockbuster “Iron Man 2.” She’ll appear later this year with Leighton Meester, Tim McGraw and “Tron Legacy” star Garrett Hedlund in the country music drama “Love Don’t Let Me Down.” She’s also one of the sizable ensemble cast that’s assembled for Steven Soderbergh’s “Contagion,” which also stars Matt Damon, Jude Law, Kate Winslet, Marion Cotillard and Laurence Fishburne.

Bradley Cooper may be a member of The A-Team now, but he could be Double-A or Triple-A in the baseball flick Disney is developing. According to The Hollywood Reporter, he’s attached to star in an untitled dramedy about an injured big league player who gets sent back to the minors — “where the only place he can find lodging is in a senior citizens’ home.”

“There,” the trade continues, “he meets an old baseball guru who helps lead him back.”

Let’s break this down. Immediately, I had two regrets: Paul Newman isn’t around to play the senior citizen (he would’ve been great), and Kevin Costner isn’t old enough. But moving beyond those disappointments, this concept — now being developed by Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps scribe Allan Loeb — definitely has promise. The minor leagues are full of ridiculous fodder (see: Bull Durham), and we love seeing men from two different generations talk America’s favorite pastime (see: Field of Dreams). Plus, the ladies in that senior citizens’ home are gonna love Cooper, and he looks really good scruffy (you know we’re gonna have the too-down-and-out-to-even-shave montage).

Are you digging this as much as I am? Don’t even try to pretend you don’t enjoy a good sports film from the Mouse House: The Rookie, Remember the Titans, Invincible, Miracle, Cool Runnings, The Mighty Ducks. Who would you like to see cast as Cooper’s mentor in the home? Robert Redford seems a natural fit. But I also have a dream of Clint Eastwood playing gruff in a Disney film…

Bradley Cooper and Liam Neeson star as Face and Hannibal in ‘The A-Team’ movie and while it isn’t a brilliant or exhilarating action-packed movie, it packed enough into the weak storyline to avoid people from walking out of the movie theaters.

While, it is never a good sign when the shining point of a movie is an actor’s body and mannerisms, it has to be stated that Bradley Cooper is to be admired for helping to bring in a solid crowd to the movie based upon those two things. From the first minutes of the movie to the last few seconds, Bradley Cooper was a sparkling beacon to the movie.

Unfortunately, ‘The A-Team’ is a movie that plays to more male audiences and as such most of that demographic is not going to be enticed to a movie to see a hot body. While there were some action scenes, they were pretty weak and as stated before the story-line was thin and weak. The movie version of ‘The A-Team’ didn’t live up to the brilliance of the TV series but the actors certainly tried their best.

However, there was one part of the script that left me feeling less than impressed. And that was how the character B.A Baracus was portrayed. It has been a long time since I have really watched the TV show but I don’t even remember B.A being as wimpish and babyish as he was in this movie version.

All-in-all, ‘The A-Team’ was a good entryway back into the franchise and hopefully the sequel will have a better storyline. Los Angeles resident Justin was disappointed in the script and thought that there should have been more hard-hitting action.

Jaden Smith has well learned from the master. His father.

Showing the box-office moves of Will Smith, the 11-year-old kicked a disappointing summer back into gear with a fantastic $56 million Friday-Sunday debut for The Karate Kid.

As for The A-Team, the weekend’s other major release—and 1980s revival… Well, it could’ve used some Smith family magic.

The $100 million-ish adventure looked B-list with an underwhelming $26 million debut.

More results:

• The Karate Kid made its bank from families (45 percent of ticket buyers brought their own karate kids, an audience survey showed), and, interestingly, people who weren’t yet born when the Ralph Macchio original was released in 1984 (56 percent of moviegoers were under 25).

• The A-Team, based on the 1983-87 TV series, never really had a chance of showing up The Karate Kid—not when The Karate Kid cost about $60 million less to produce.

• It’s not surprising that The Karate Kid is the biggest opener of Jaden Smith’s young career. It is surprising that the film debuted larger than all but two of his dad’s movies.

• After three weekends at No. 1, Shrek Forever After ($15.8 million) slipped to third. It consoled itself by surpassing $200 million domestically.

• Iron Man 2 ($4.6 million) could cross the $300 million domestic mark on Monday.

• On the downside, Robin Hood ($2.7 million) fell from the Top 10 before hitting $100 million. On the upside, star Russell Crowe didn’t fall from an Austrian mountain. That, and his movie has made nearly $300 million worldwide.

Here’s a complete look at the weekend’s top-grossing films, per Friday-Sunday estimates compiled by Exhibitor Relations:

1. The Karate Kid, $56 million
2. The A-Team, $26 million
3. Shrek Forever After, $15.8 million
4. Get Him to the Greek, $10.1 million
5. Killers, $8.2 million
6. Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time, $6.6 million
7. Marmaduke, $6 million
8. Sex and the City 2, $5.5 million
9. Iron Man 2, $4.6 million
10. Splice, $2.9 million
