"Airbender" stars coming here

Jackson Rathbone and Nicola Peltz will sign autographs Saturday.

Just announced: Jackson Rathbone and Nicola Peltz, two young stars of the M. Night Shyamalan flick The Last Airbender, will appear at Saturday's "Taste of Philadelphia" festival at the Great Plaza at Penn's Landing.

They will appear at 12:30 p.m. and sign autographed posters at 1 p.m. (You need a wristband to get in line for the autograph; they'll be available at 11 a.m.).

The film, shot here in spring 2009, opens July 1.

The visit will do double duty for Rathbone, who plays Jasper Hale in The Twilight films. He also will be appearing on stage at the Piazza at Schmidt's in Northern Liberties at 7:30 p.m. Saturday for a Q&A followed by a 8 p.m. screening of The Twilight Saga: New Moon. Saturday happens to be an eclipse -- hence the title of the next Twilight movie.

Previous Airbender coverage is here and here.
