Jackson Rathbone Interviewed For College Papers for Airbender

Various College Newspapers had a conference call with Jackson Rathbone to talk about his upcoming role in The Last Airbender. Santa Monica College’s The Corsair was one of the lucky publications.
“The name Jackson Rathbone isn’t one many are familiar with, which is shocking considering Rathbone plays Jasper in the “Twilight” saga, is a member of the band100 Monkeys, and is an indie producer and director.
Rathbone recently finished filming the “The Last Airbender” with director M. Night Shyamalan. The film, based on the Nickelodeon animated TV series, ties the four elements (air, water, earth and fire) together after a brutal war is launched. A century has passed since the destruction began and little has been done to change the situation. Rathbone’s character, Sokka, works alongside the four elements to reestablish peace in the world.
Following is an excerpt of a conference call interview that Rathbone had with nine colleges across the country in regards to the film.
Santa Monica College: How did you prepare for your role as Sokka?
JR: There were two months or so of intense Kung Fu training in Los Angeles for three hours a day. We had two weeks of rehearsals in Philadelphia where we ran through the scenes and the process was very natural. Shyamalan is a very natural director; it was very easy to work with him.
Northwestern University: Since you were so busy filming, what did you do when you had free time?
I never really like to have free time. While I wasn’t filming the movie, I was also performing with my band, as well as starting to produce a film with a bandmate, Jared Anderson. I was also busy getting the trailer ready for that project as well as new songs with the band when I got home at night. I don’t really tend to have much “off time.”
