An Interview With Jackson Rathbone.

Right now you want to be Jackson Rathbone. The actor is on a serious, serious roll. He plays Jasper Hale in the blockbuster Twilight series and has The Twilight Saga: Eclipse on the way later this year. He co-stars in the much-anticipated fantasy-adventure The Last Airbender (2010), due out this summer, in Girlfriend (2010), an indie drama he also co-produced, and in a very creepy little horror film called Dread (2010), just released on DVD from Lionsgate. Based on a Clive Barker short story, the film casts Rathbone as Stephen, a college student who partners up with Cheryl (Laura Donnelly) and Quaid (Shaun Evans) on a project that chronicles people's greatest fears. However, Quaid pushes matters to the extreme, forcing Stephen and Cheryl to confront their own fears far more personally and viscerally than they ever imagined. ScreenStar caught up with Rathbone as he and his band 100 Monkeys -- yes, he's a musician, too; check 'em out at 100monkeysmusic.com -- made their way toward New Orleans for a concert there, part of the group's ambitious 100-city tour. Dread was the main topic of discussion, but the amiable Rathbone talked about some other subjects of interest as well.

Jackson Rathbone discusses his scenes in Eclipse

The actor who plays Jasper Hale recently caught up with MTV and talked about Eclipse shooting:

“It was just really fantastic to get to delve in there and to get to don all the Civil War regalia and whatnot. That was a pleasure,” he said. “I had to wear this wool suit of a major, cavalry major. “I got the big hat and everything. Hop off the horse, bow to these ladies, and then I get eaten. And then I get turned!”

There will also be flashbacks of Jasper training newborn vampires while he’s still “a bad dude, a bad vampire,” Rathbone said. He added that training from another film, “The Last Airbender,” including wrestling, hand-to-hand combat and weapon play, was useful since there wasn’t much time to prepare for the fight scenes in “Eclipse.”
