Jackson Rathbone to Star in ‘Truckstop’

Jackson Rathbone is set to star in a new film ‘Truckstop’

Variety reports:

Jackson Rathbone (“The Last Airbender”) and Jennifer Lawrence (“Winter’s Bone) are set to topline indie drama “Truckstop.”WME Global Finance, headed by Graham Taylor, is handling financing in conjunction with Kevin Iwashina of IP Advisors.

Rotimi Rainwater is set begin lensing in September.

Film revolves around a man with cerebral palsy who takes care of his dying father while working at truckstop, where he befriends a troubled young prostitute.

Script was penned by tyro scribe Tony Aloupis, with revisions by Steve Grabowsky and Rainwater.

Rathbone’s previous credits include the “Twlight” franchise.

Lawrence toplines Debra Granik’s “Winter’s Bone,” which won the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance and will be released in theaters later this year by Roadside Attractions.

I am sure all the Jackson fans will be happy to see him in a role that hopefully won’t have him wearing another dodgy wig!

Hopefully he will wear his own hair this time around….that whole “grandpa-look” isnt that good on him But on the other hand….no matter what he wears, hes still the most perfect guy in the world..

Congrats on first!

What? They've forgotten him?
How can they forget a man with such a charisma and smile? Yes, his role in Twilight and New Moon was small, but he's also a member of the cast and he was great!
I'm so waiting for The Last Airbander and I hope that this role shows his great skills as an actor all these other people who see him only as a Twilight guy.

Sounds like a role of substance. So excited for him!

That sounds like quite a storyline. I wonder who he'll play.

Love the pic you used, TSH! LOL!

“Look at me, I'm The Clash!”

Jackson's crazy hair in this pic would have been an improvement on the Jasper NM wig…

My, my. This photo is utterly awesome.

I think Jackson chooses to stay away from the madness. He loves his music and would rather play a gig than show up at every hollywood event. I love him for that. He looks so hot in this picture. Very Sex Pistols.

LOL Poor Jackson. That wig was so sad. *shakes head* However, it was Jackson, so it really didn't matter. He pulled off the Orphan Annie wig because he his hot no matter what.

Congrats to one of my favorite avis ever! *swoon* LOVE that pic.

I think Jackson is about to get a new fanbase after Airbender. Little boys will be dressing up like him for halloween and taking martial arts classes. I hope so. He so deserves it.

Your avi is stunning. I have probably told you that already.

Hopefully the lead.

Yeah, he still looked gorgeous. I'm hoping the Eclipse hair will be better….

Well, by now we have all seen the new Jasper hair. HAWT!

i agree. try the hitler look!! (search it on google or on this site if you can) it is very very funny.

He shouldn't pull faces like that. It'll spoil his looks. Anywho, sounds like another interesting movie. Hopefully he'll get a good part, cos he so deserves to take advantage of his star that is probably more like a meteor at this point, and get some damn good roles, with character and substance. Not just the pale guy with the dead poodle on his head and the squirrel in his mouth. A very general overview of Jasper, I know, but Jackson doesn't get nearly enough to satisfy his acting tastebuds. Watch him in Conflicted- THAT is what he is capable of, given the right leeway. Sorry, I'll shut up now, I didn't mean to go on this long

sounds like a very meaty role. i gather Jackson's the lead…. my sister has severe CP. it'll be interesting to see Jackson's portrayal, i doubt it'll be very crippling like my sister's.
