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

Eclipse JASPER 280x373 Jackson Rathbone: I Loved Bringing Out Jaspers Dark Side jasper hale jackson rathbone 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.^^

Hey doll-you back for a bit?

It really explained why she felt the way she did toward Bella. She was never given a choice, like Bella. I think Nikki is going to be amazing in these scenes.

don't worry u can do one for yourself, 2 ppl torturing this one is better than one. Besides she already ruin 2 of our movies and i am sure there would be 3 or even 4 if she writes bd.
http://www.myspace.com/myedward1901 IrrevocablyObsessed

Lol it's fair payback.

If we get three people then it'll be even.

Wait…scratch that.

Let's get one person per thing that she's screwed up in the movies.

Damn…that's a lot of dolls thenn… o.o

when we end with her, she wouldn't want to see any twilighter near her
http://www.myspace.com/myedward1901 IrrevocablyObsessed

I just wanna stab her with a pitchfork.

Yes that is the REAL Jasper Whitlock hair! Alice does NOT approve of the New Moon and ESPECIALLY the Eclipse hair! <<<<<< Jackson's natural hair dyed blond is much hotter than the fugly wigs. ^^

Jasper is my favorite character, Jackson is so talented, I'm sure he will do an even better job in Eclipse <333
OJ

Yeah, his hair is ok there- although he kinda looks like a weird Sweeney Todd in the pic, however- but I think it's my fault for looking at normal Jackson pics too much, and now he just looks strange with blonde hair. A man made for darkness in all situations. Anyway, as usual, I'm really looking forward to the backstory and especially the uniform. And the horse! I have a happy image in my head right now…*happy sigh* And this dark side he speaks of. I am intrigued, curious and slightly dirty-minded. Pray show us a little of what you mean, Jacksper
