Jackson Rathbone reveals the violence of ‘New Moon’
Yeah...well at 40, you're gonna be bald!
Jackson Rathbone of Twilight fame drops some news regarding the “birthday attack scene” in Twilight’s upcoming sequel The Twilight Saga: New Moon.
WARNING – POTENTIAL SPOILERS
Rathbone, who plays the bloodsucking Jasper Hale, recently told MTV that the scene where his vampire character attacks Bella (Kristen Stewart) has a wee bit more of the ultra-violence than the trailer shows.
“It’s definitely longer. It’s really about the moment where Bella is realising what kind of world she’s into,” Rathbone explained. “What happens when everyone you love turns around on you and suddenly could kill you? She’s in that world right now, and she’s kind of scared by it.. I was going pretty method.”
That happens to me every Thanksgiving and, inexplicably, Arbor Day.
The actor goes on:
“We choreographed it – so I wasn’t too worried about attacking Kristen – but I told the guys to hold me back, because you want it to look real.
“You want the audience to feel that frightened sense that I gave Kristen. I felt really bad, man. There was a couple of moments where she was like, ‘I thought you were going to hit me that time!’ I come so close, it’s pretty intense.”
I haven’t read the series so if a Twilighter could enlighten me as to the amount of graphic violence written in the book, I would be grateful.
New Moon opens in theaters nationwide on November 20th.
