Jackon Rathbone talks about Jasper in Eclipse

MTV’s Hollywood Crush has a post from their interview with Jackson talking a bit about his character in Eclipse.
Though we don’t learn much about Jackson’s Jasper Hale in “Twilight” and “New Moon,” his background is explored much more in “Eclipse.” “I’m excited for a step up with Jasper’s character,” Jackson said. “It’s been two, three years and now I get to kind of go outside and show a little bit more of what makes Jasper tick. We get to go into his back story — see where he came from, who he was before, what makes him who we see in the first film of ‘Twilight,’ what makes him seem like he’s always in pain, why he’s always in pain … because he is.”
So why, exactly, is he in so much agony? “He’s almost depressed,” Jackson said. “He wants to live a good life. He wants to be part of the Cullen family. He is the newest to this vegetarian vampire way of life, and he’s still trying to be part of that and address his inner demons and what he used to be. It was really fun to be able to express that.”
Jasper also talks about the stunts in the film, working with David Slade and his favorite scenes to film. You can read it all here.

ha, of course I would be the first to comment on this……I am really looking forward to seeing Jasper’s back story. Jackson is an amazing actor and I know that he will take Jasper to a whole new level in Eclipse. This is going to be Jackson’s break-out year for sure!!!
Seeing him in uniform and on a horse is a big PLUS too!!!!!

Jasper’s back story was one of my favorite parts of Eclipse. I can not wait to see how it is brought to the screen. It will be great for those who are not farmilar with the books to see whay Jasper is the way he is, and get his story. And Jackson is going to finally get a chance to shine. Its gonna be good!!!!!!!
