Many “Twilight” fans are counting down the hours until the next movie in the series “New Moon” opens tonight at midnight, but one local family has already seen it because their son, Jackson Rathbone, is one of the stars.
He’s got numerous fan sites, paparazzi following nearly his every move and even a budding music career, but his family says, he’s just the same old guy whose proud of his west Texas roots.
Jackson Rathbone plays Jasper Hale, one of the Cullen’s, a clan of vampires in the “Twilight” series, but his humble beginnings were on the local stage.
Actor Kellan Lutz has learned to be careful what “Twilight” fans wish for — especially when handcuffs are involved.
“As much as we’re all joking with the fans and meeting them and trying to have their experience be a great one, there are a lot of things that go unnoticed with us right away,” says Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen in “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” opening today.
“Mainly there are a few that Jackson [Rathbone] and I have come to terms with, with the fans asking if they can handcuff themselves to us. We think they’re joking, we’ll be like, yeah, just do it and then they whip out the handcuffs and we’re like, ‘Whoa!’ ”
Double whoa to marriage proposals for Rathbone, who returns as Jasper Hale in the second vampire romance based on Stephenie Meyer’s novels. The list of those willing to wed is a long one. “I’m looking for my first ex-wife right now,” Rathbone joked, in a phone interview.
In the December issue of Fangoria, they have a special article about the film (and other films from Horrorfest 4). They’ve posted a preview of it onto their site which you can also read below.
It’s one of the more complicated scenes to capture in the new Clive Barker film DREAD. Actors Jackson (TWILIGHT) Rathbone and Hanne Steen must play slightly drunk while getting hot and heavy during a romantic date in the countryside. At one point, they climb onto the hood of their car and release back into the wild a once-injured crow Rathbone’s character has rescued. Except the crow isn’t playing ball.
Director of photography Sam McCurdy (of the DESCENT duo) is perched on a crane, ready to move upward with the bird as it hopefully flies toward the camera. The crow wrangler has assured everyone this will happen. But it persistently doesn’t, and continually resetting the shot is getting very time-consuming and patience-testing—especially as writer/director Anthony DiBlasi only has 28 days to shoot this adaptation of Barker’s acclaimed BOOKS OF BLOOD short story during a cold November. Luckily, the location of this problematic sequence is only a brief walk away from the main center of DREAD operations, so something else can be filmed quickly in the meantime.
The interviews keep rollin’ in! This time, one with Tampa Bay Online.
It’s here, so let the vampy chaos begin.
“New Moon,” the highly anticipated second film in “The Twilight Saga,” hits theaters Friday and promises even more swooning opportunities for its passionately devoted fans.
Smothered in heartbreak, “New Moon” is a far different beast than “Twilight,” focusing on Bella’s (Kristen Stewart) recovery after her vampire boyfriend, Edward (Robert Pattinson), leaves her broken-hearted and leaning on her (newly ripped) werewolf pal, Jacob (Taylor Lautner), for emotional support.
Big changes were made when approaching this next installment. Director Chris Weitz replaced “Twilight” director Catherine Hardwicke, Lautner had to fight to keep the role of Jacob, and actress Rachelle Lefevre (who plays Victoria) was replaced by Bryce Dallas Howard for the soon-to-be-shot third film in the series.
We spoke to a few Edward Cullen siblings — aka “Twilight” stars Kellan Lutz (Emmett), Nikki Reed (Rosalie) and Jackson Rathbone (Jasper) — about “New Moon” and their experiences with being apart of this series.
Here’s another pretty good interview with Jackson, Kellan and Nikki. Near the end of the interview, he talks about not having a twitter, myspace or facebook account. So if you’re following or have a “Jackson” added on either of those networks, IT’S NOT HIM!
BC: I am curious if there were any funny incidents that happened on the set. Like did anyone flub their lines?
Jackson: Well, we had a couple of things happen. It was funny because in the house we were filming the very serious, very dramatic birthday party scene, the owners were very concerned about their hardwood floors. So the entire crew and cast had to wear these hospital scrub-like booties that you had to tie around your shoes. So it was just kind of funny to see this bunch of vampires in these little boots.
BC: OK, I hope that they filmed from the ankles up so that no one sees the booties in the film!
Jackson: Yeah, we did see the movie and no booties were seen!
Kellan: Well, there are “bootie” shots but not of that type of bootie. [Laughs]
Actor Jackson Rathbone is undeniably best known as Jasper Hale from Twilight and the upcoming Twilight sequel, New Moon. But in his heart, he’s just a guy playing in a rock ‘n’ roll band.
Rathbone talked to CHARTattack from the set of Eclipse, the third movie in the Twilight saga, about his life as a teenage vampire heartthrob and his beloved band, 100 Monkeys.
CHARTattack: Twilight came out last year, you’re doing press for New Moon and you’re working on next year’s Eclipse. You don’t feel like your life has just become about Twilight all the time?
Jackson Rathbone: I don’t, actually. I have a lot of things going on outside of the Twilight world.
Being a musician, I have my band 100 Monkeys, so whenever I’m not working on a film, I work with them. We make music constantly and we’re constantly on tour. It’s a pleasure to be part of the Twilight books, but I’ve got a lot of other stuff going on.
As well with film, I’ve got some other movies going on. I’m actually producing my first film this year with my production company. It’s going great because of the wide Twilight fanbase I’ve been able to have people follow my other projects, which is just such an honour. They’re so supportive of all the movies and of us as individuals.
Do you see Twilight as a blessing, or are you afraid of typecasting with such a huge franchise? Any reservations with being part of such a cultural phenomenon?
At first, I was a little bit worried. It was one of my first conversations with my manager when they offered me the role of Jasper — “Is this the right move? Will I get stuck in it?”
But we’ve tried to establish all throughout my career different looks every time I play a character. Not just in terms of hair and eye colour, but the way I walk and the way I talk.
I’ve always been a character actor. When I was in theatre and was learning how to act as a child, I was a character actor. It’s always going to be a struggle, to not be identified as one of the brat pack from the Twilight movies, but at the same time, it’s all about what you do next, I think.
I’m not one character, even in my personal life. I’m a very multi-faceted person — I have my band, I have my music, and I have my movie career. I consider myself an artist more than I do an actor.
Canada.Com posted their interview with Jackson and his co-stars, Nikki Reed and Kellan Lutz. Jackson only talks two times, but it’s still a good read.
Canwest: Has anything surprised you along the way? Were you ready for the craziness from day one?
Kellan Lutz: You hit the nail on the head there darling. (Laughs from the others). Craziness and surprise. From day one, I didn’t know it was a book even, until my good friend Ashley Greene came knocking on my door and gave me the books to read. And I did all this reading
Jackson Rathbone: That was surprise number one he reads.
Kellan: Yeah. That was surprise number two: The Reading. And surprise number three was that I really fell in love with these books and understand why the fans enjoy it so much. They’re captivating.
