Jackson Rathbone: “I Loved Bringing Out Jasper’s Dark Side”

As time grows closer, we are seeing more  sneak peeks, interviews and merchandise appear for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. This time it’s hottie Jackson Rathbone who plays human blood thirsty Jasper Hale in the saga. Here Jackson tells about Jasper’s back story.

PW: So is it difficult then to play Jasper over the course of five films?
Jackson: The thing I like about Jasper’s arc is that it’s very developed — you don’t know much about him in the first film. He’s always in pain but don’t know why, until the second film, when you realize that he’s the newest to the family and he’s basically dying of hunger. It’s very difficult to live that vampryic lifestyle. So he’s having trouble adjusting. In the third film, we get to see Jasper’s backstory – see who he used to be and why he’s having such a hard time transitioning.
PW: So “Eclipse” will flashback to his time in The Civil War?
Jackson: Yeah. We do a little segue/backstory in “Eclipse”,when he was turned during the Civil War. We get to see his more aggressive tendencies. When you’re first turned into a vampire, that’s when you’re at your most ravenous, most vicious – so you see Jasper go through that. It was a lot of fun to bring out the darker side of Jasper.

I cannot wait for this film! I’m particularly interested in Rosalie & Jasper’s stories the most.  FYI that’s the real Jasper Hale hair.^^

ASHLEY GREENE TALKS DIRECTOR DIFFERENCES TO IESB

IESB has a brand new interview with Ashley Greene where she talks about missing her chance to go to Sundance with Skateland, the directing differences between Chris Weitz and David Slade and what she wants to do in her future career. Read more below:

Q: For The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, did David Slade give you a syllabus or mission statement, the way that Chris Weitz did for The Twilight Saga: New Moon? Ashley: No, he definitely didn’t give us that. But, each of the cast did sit down and have hour-long, sit-down conversations with him, probably two or three times, going over the whole script and us highlighting anything that we wanted to talk about. He went about it a different way, but he was also very open about forming some type of collaboration. The directors have their own vision. They don’t want to change our characters, but their vision may be a little different. Obviously, David Slade has a little darker spin on it than Chris Weitz may have had, so we had to find a way to mold them together.
Q: Have you read the new novella that Stephenie Meyer has coming out?
Ashley: Are you talking about the fifth book (Midnight Sun), that didn’t come out? I read some of it, probably during Twilight, before that whole thing happened and it got out.
Q: Not that book, but the novella that she’s coming out with, The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, before the release of Eclipse?
Ashley: No, that I haven’t read.
Q: Coming off of Twilight and being concerned about being pigeonholed in this type of genre, is there another genre that you would really like to get the chance to explore next?
Ashley: Yeah. I have a very different story than most people, about how things happened for me. It happened very quickly, and so I’m getting all of this recognition and I really haven’t done a lot. There are so many things I haven’t done yet. I love film. I love everything about the adventure of it, and I want to do it all. I’m like a kid in a candy shop right now. I want to do everything I haven’t done yet. I think I’ve covered drama. I definitely want to do a comedy. I think a musical would be really fun. I’m itching to do an action film. You do a movie and, even if it’s not a comedy or it’s not an action film, you get a little taste of it, and then I want to do it full force. So, we’re trying to choose the right projects that let me do things and create a career, rather than sticking to one thing.

New York Post’s Popwrap Interviews Jackson Rathbone

Popwrap talked to Jackson rathbone about his horror flick Dread hitting DVD, but the conversation also drifted to his music and the Twilight movies.
“As someone who has been watching horror movies for the better part of his 28 years, I can’t believe I’m about to write this sentence: I found the ending of “Dread” to be so unsettling, shocking and upsetting that I nearly vomited because of the film’s last act.
Now, that will cause one of two reactions for you: either “Dread” will be bumped to the top of your NetFlix queue or removed completely. If it’s the latter, I understand, but feel bad since you will miss one of the more intriguing movies that’s ever been included in the AfterDark Horror Fest.
I recently caught up with “Dread” star Jackson Rathbone and found out that my visceral reaction is exactly why he signed up for the film in the first place. We also talked about more palatable subjects, like what “Twilight” fans can expect to see in this summer’s hotly anticipated installment “Eclipse”!
PopWrap: I’m not going to lie, this film actually made me physically ill at the end.
Jackson Rathbone: Oh, excellent. That’s what I was hoping for!
PW: When did you know “Dread” had the ability to evoke this kind of response?
Jackson: I gave the script to a friend and he said that almost made him wretch, and that’s when I knew I had to make this movie.”

Former Bella Cullen Project Singer Releases CD

By Twilight_News |
Before there was ever a Twilight movie, back in the days when people said “Stephenie who?” there was a Twilight all girls band. In fact, back in those days there were only two bands that hooked into Twilight, they were The Mitch Hansen Band and The Bella Cullen Project. Mitch is still going strong, but the Bella Cullen project amicably broke up late last year.
Chandler Nash, one of the former members of The Bella Cullen Project, now has a CD out. According to a press release from her management:
“Few 17-year old musicians can claim veteran status with a straight face.  Dallas singer-songwriter Chandler Nash is one.  Her previous band, The Bella Cullen Project (formed with two friends at a sleepover when they were just 13), released 2 full-length original albums; enjoyed over 1 million MySpace plays; performed live nationwide; and was featured on MTV, ABC’s Nightline, and in Esquire, People and CosmoGirl magazines.
Yet, as she embarks upon a solo career, this Dallas singer-songwriter remains eager to evolve her craft.  “I just want to keep playing,” Chandler enthuses.  “Since I was 6-years old I’ve always wanted to be a musician.  Even if it doesn’t work out, I’m still going to play music even if I’m just a wedding singer or something!”
Moving away from her old band’s folky sensibilities, Chandler is now melding diverse influences into contemporary, robust pop/rock expressions flecked with lurking country heartache.  On her debut, the aptly-titled Solo (released through Interscope Digital Distribution)

, increasingly accomplished songwriting connects through her emotive, lithe-yet-lived-in timbre.   “I like a little bit of everything,” mulls Chandler.  “[But] my favorite artists are kind of oldies like Billy Joel, The Beatles and Elton John.”

While many young, ambitious artists let themselves be molded by producers and Svengalis, Chandler writes for herself, from the heart.  She has already composed or co-written nearly 40 songs and, with her adult life just beginning and endless new experiences imminent, fans can expect that catalog to swiftly swell.
“If something big happens, then I’ll write about it,” she explains.  “That’s why my songs mean so much to me – because I pull from my own experiences.

There’s this one song [on Solo] called ‘Gotta Get Out Of Here’ that’s about my best friend since I was 6 or 7.  We stayed close through our freshman year, but then some tragic stuff happened in her life and we lost touch.  She’s always been on my mind, so I wrote about that.”
Live performance is a pillar of Chandler’s passion and, despite still being in high school, she performs regularly, both solo and with a full band.  “There’s just something a little more intimate about doing an acoustic [solo] set, because you get to talk to people more and it’s very raw – it’s just you and your voice.  But it’s easier when you’re playing with a big back-up band to kind of let go and let the music take over and really connect with all the people in the audience.”
Though Solo is now showing the world how far Chandler’s come as an artist, she retains a charmingly wide-eyed outlook that sets her apart.  “Of course I have huge dreams,” she concludes.  “I just want to go further but, even if I don’t, it doesn’t matter to me so long as I’m playing.  But I hope that it gets bigger and that I can tour around the country and get a bigger fan base, and maybe play at venues that I’ve been dreaming about playing since I was younger.”
The 7 track EP is now available in the following digital stores:  iTunes, Amazon mp3, MySpace Music, Rhapsody, Lala, Shockhound, Zune, Nokia and Amie Street with the physical CD coming soon to Amazon On Demand.

Kellan Lutz Movie Updates: Name Changes and New Co-Stars

Kellan Lutz is going to be busy squeezing in films before Breaking Dawn starts shooting. The roles range from romantic comedy to the gods.
According to ET, “Romantic comedy heaven is made when a ‘Twilight’ hunk and a pop star are cast as love interests. That is just the case in ‘Love, Wedding, Marriage,’ starring Kellan Lutz and Mandy Moore as newlyweds…James Brolin and Jane Seymour have been tapped to play the parents…Actor Dermot Mulroney will be calling the shots in his directorial debut… reports The Hollywood Reporter. Though the movie may take on a different name, ‘Keep It Together,’ it has sent out save the date cards for April 19 to begin filming in Louisiana.”
According to Monsters and Critics, “Relativity Media has changed the title of its Greek mythology film from “War of the Gods” to “Immortals,” and announced that John Hurt and Isabel Lucas have joined the cast. Henry Cavill, Stephen Dorff, Luke Evans, Kellan Lutz, Joseph Morgan, Freida Pinto and Mickey Rourke have already been cast. The film follows the young warrior Theseus (Cavill), who leads his men into battle with the immortal Greek gods to defeat the gods of the Titans. Tarsem Singh is directing the film, which began shooting in Montreal this week.”

Florence Welch on Eclipse Soundtrack Possibiliites

MTV Australia talked to the Aussie-based UK singer Florence Welch about her Eclipse soundtrack ambitions.

“The singer has hinted that she may be recording a track for the next eagerly awaited vampire film ‘Eclipse’.

The movie is yet to be signed off, but she admits she could be following in the footsteps of artists including Muse and Paramore.

Talking to NME, she said, “I would do a song for the Twilight soundtrack, but it’s not confirmed yet…”

Here’s a sample of her work. What do you think?

For $10,000 a New Moon Script Could Be Yours

Remember Casey Ray, the hairdresser who went dumpster diving at a St. Louis hotel and found a New Moon and a Remember Me script?  Well, she’s back. Only this time she’s not suing Summit (which she later dropped)or complaining about getting into the premiere costing her oodles of money. This time she is selling the New Moon script that she found that was autographed by the entire cast, her invitation to the New Moon after party, and her ticket to the New Moon premiere.
Question: So what is the minimum starting price for all of this loot that is slated to go up on EBay?
Answer: $10,000 according to the St. Louis Business Journal (who have been following Casey Ray’s story all along.)
Just recently a group auctioning a Robert Pattinson signed guitar couldn’t get the $5,000 minimum asking price for it and the guitar alone was worth half that.
So, the question is $10,000 for a script signed by the entire New Moon cast, and a couple of add ons (granted unique). Do you think she’ll get her asking price and more, or will it go bust?
