Jackson Rathbone in SNL Magazine!



While looking super hot in his Airbender gear, Jackson is pictured for his movie in The Last Airbender. Below are some excerpts from the magazine:

SNMag: What kind of stunts did you have to do?
JR: Mostly it was hand to hand combat. My character doesn’t have any special abilities…so I’d do a lot of scenes where I fight off guys with swords and spears and all I had to fight with was the boomerang. It’s a little bit nerve-wracking, even when it’s a plastic sword coming at you.

SNMag: What was your initial reaction when you were cast in Twilight?
JR: It’s a great book series and Jasper has such a lush backstory so I was just really excited. But then I started getting calls from my cousins and they were even more excited than me so that kind of upped the ante – playing a character that my family knows and are excited about seeing me portray on the big screen.

SNMag: Did you realize then it would kick-start your career?
JR: I don’t think it really hit me until I walked the red carpet at the premiere of Twilight. That’s when it was first like, "Oh wow, this is going to be a new experience for me.”

SNMag: What’s one of the most memorable fan encounters you’ve had?
JR: We were filming up in Vancouver for New Moon and I was on my way to get Starbucks. A bunch of fans surrounded me and so I was taking pictures and signing autographs and this woman comes up to me with a 2-year-old child and, without saying a word, hands me her kid and steps back to take a picture. It was just kind of awkward because the kid’s looking at me like, “Who are you?” and I’m looking at the kid like, “I’m sorry, man, I have no idea what’s going on either.” So she snapped a photo, took her kid back and walked away. It’s kind of odd to have a stranger shove a child in your arms.

SNMag: Do we get to see a new side of Jasper in Eclipse?
JR: Yes, we get to see Jasper back when he was a human which was back in the Civil War. So I got to ride a horse again - I grew up riding so it was fun to get back to that.

SNMag: Were you at all into vampire movies before you were cast in Twilight?
JR: I’ve definitely been a fan of the vampire genre for a long time. Interview with the Vampire is an incredible film. I’ve always loved the Dracula films. And Nosferatu is a beautiful, well-crafted film from the 20s that still holds up today, in my opinion.

Get more from the interview here.

Summit looks at possible directors for “Breaking Dawn”

In a small article posted earlier today, Entertainment Weekly reported that Summit is rumored to be looking at a select few Academy Award directors to take on the final installment of The Twilight Saga.

“The studio has reached out to at least three top-notch directors, including Sofia Coppola (Lost in Translation), Gus Van Sant (Milk), and Bill Condon (Dreamgirls) to gauge their interest in what is likely to be two movies.”

Though Summit declined to comment and representatives for Coppola and Condon have yet to respond, EW was able to confirm that director Gus Van Sant has been approached.

Chris Weitz's thoughts on directing Breaking Dawn

We still are not sure if or when Breaking Dawn will be filmed, or if it will be made into two films, but we do know New Moon director Chris Weitz may not be involved, according to an interview with MTV News.

“But I think I’m on record saying I have a 2-and-a-half-year-old son, and each one of these movies — especially because it’d be such a long shoot as ‘Breaking Dawn’ — it kind of brings me to the edge of my physical and mental endurance,” he said. “And I just don’t believe I have it in me, and I think that it’s appropriate that someone else go ahead and do it.”

He also spoke about the possible two-part 3-D movie, agreeing that Breaking Dawn should be two films and that 3-D could work.

“I think that 3-D is great so long as it’s not used in a gimmicky fashion and it can supply extraordinary depth to the visual experience,” Weitz told MTV News. “And it’s great because it brings people to the theater, and filmmakers always want people to see things in the largest format possible.”

Chris Weitz's biggest regret with New Moon

HitFix had the opportunity to preview the New Moon DVD Commentary and they revealed this tidbit:

Speaking to Weitz earlier this week, the director laughed about the moment and admitted that he discovered the mistake a bit too late.

“I think it could have been less than an Arcadian fairy tale running through the foresty movement and more of an abstract at Kristen flash on her face,” Weitz says of what he would have changed. “That would have avoided laughter, which wasn’t only heard at the premiere where there are cynics and jaded Hollywood types, but the most packed fan screenings.”

Oscar producers asked Stephenie Meyer and JK Rowling to present this year.

A report from The Los Angeles Times reveals that this year’s Oscar producers wanted Stephenie and JK Rowling to present an award together. However both ladies declined the offer.

The pair even wanted “Harry Potter” author J.K. Rowling and “Twilight” scribe Stephenie Meyer to present the adapted screenplay category, but Rowling was unavailable because of scheduling conflicts and Meyer, who is a Mormon, does not work on Sundays.

“The younger side of the audience has been drifting for years, so we’re more conscious of trying to build a youth element into the show,” Mechanic said.

MTV posts photos of a sensual Rob Pattinson in Remember Me

MTV.com has put two new photos online from the upcoming Summit film “Remember Me” starring Rob Pattinson:

Looking at these two pics, we can safely say that Emilie de Ravin wasn’t lying when she told MTV News last month that she and Rob hit it off right away. “I flew to New York to test with Rob and we immediately got along and had instant great chemistry, which is not an easy thing to come by,” she said. “Obviously you’re acting, but you want to have that connection with somebody. We had it.”

The film will hit theaters March 12th!
