Jasper Hale new Moon jackson rathbone New Moon’s Jasper Hale, played by the multi-talented Jackson Rathbone, has a new interview where he chats a bit about his thoughts on New Moon compared to Twilight–

“We have a bigger budget, we have a little more pressure to keep that feeling going, but the nice thing is that you’re delving more into the story now with ‘New Moon,’” he said. “As the films progress, you get deeper into the lore and they mythical world you’re establishing with the werewolves and get more into what the werewolf society and legacy is. It keeps getting deeper.”

    I can't wait to see it Jackson, thanks for the tease *quietly prays that the next director does something with that horrid hair*
  • peanutbutter_cheesipoo <3
    Haha. Yeah someone has to do something with the hair....
    but it has kind of changed since twilight...
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    Jackson forgot to talk about the biggest change from Twilight to New Moon..

    His hair.
  • Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker
    Uh, it's awful, isn't it??
  • IndiesR
    I really dont like his hair in NM. It looked much better in Twilight! They need to get his hair right for the rest of the series, cause his current NM look will not do. LOL
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    I hopeDavid Slade plans on having a little conference with the make-up committee.
  • IndiesR
    Oh they should....that mess should be rectified! STAT!
  • HeartTheCullens (TeamUnicorn)
    lol I agree....... i think his Twilight hair was more reminiscent of the time he came from and all that good jazz...
  • destined to be a cullen
    me too.. i want his twilight look.. everytime i imagine "jasper", all i can remember is his twilight look..
  • Hard_N_Sparkly
    seriously! do u like it? im not sure if I prefer it from Twilight..i think i need to see the the movie first to make a decision
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    *throws up in mouth a little bit*

    lol, i definetly do NOT like it. it looks like Alice got bored and put his hair in curlers!

    hehe.
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    LMAO! I think we need to hold the Eclipse stylists hostage until they get it right.

    Our list of demands:
    1. Better hair
    2. Trendier clothes (i.e. no schoolboy V-neck sweaters!)
    3. CIVIL WAR UNIFORM!
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    Let's start the planning now!

    Um.. and I cannot WAIT to see jackson covered in scars.. so sexy...

    *drools*
  • Marisa_21
    look at how horrible his hair looks
  • EnglishCullen
    i know!
    its looks soooo different!
    and vampires hair isnt supposed to grow!
    oh well, he still looks hot!
    :)
  • Jaypat
    LOL! I know, why didn't he? It's the elephant in the room!!!! LOL! That has to be the reason he got a mohawk right after filming!!

    Where's Bean?!!! She would love this.
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    I'm right here doing my happy dance :D

    **happy dance**
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    haha, bean is probaby putting on her battlegear for the comment I've just made about his NM hair.

    *waves white flag*

    LOL
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    Nah, you're safe - I don't like the granny wig either!
  • the_nina
    Oh I thought he had the mohawk for Avatar and that his hair was a wig?
  • Jaypat
    You're right. It was a wig in NM.
  • OMG I love Jackson, but I absolutely HATE his hair in this movie. At least from the pics that I have seen. What was the hairstylist thinking?
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    I think people are saying that his hair was a wig- which would explain a lot. so..... they need better wigs?? LOL
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    Yeah, it is definitely a wig. Jackson's natural hair is still dark and they had some close-up pics a while back where you could see the wig hairline.

    Thank goodness Jackson's lovely real hair is still lurking under those blonde curls!
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    .. and honestly.. jackson can have whatever hair he likes- that face of his is too darn cute, nothing can deter from it!

    :0)
  • eva6kora
    Well I hope his wig won't fly off, cause he says there is lot more action in that scene ;-)
  • jasperluver247
    i am the one and only Mrs. rathbone got it chicky?
  • I don't THINK SO, "chicky"!!!  Trust me, Jackson likes to spread his love around...right Bean??
     
    **mumbling to self**
     
    I just LOVE when a grey face comes on and tries to challenge us regulars.
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    more like, what was his wig designer thinking?

    hehe :0)
  • 4thewolf
    Yes, I think it's more poofy because then ther'es more to blow around and look crazy wild in all the action scenes. Adds a bit more movement when being thrown around.
    LOL
  • RobRocks
    Okay....WHERE THE HALE IS BEAN???????????? BEAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LMAO
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    I'm here RobRocks! Once again, a Jackson post appeared while I was at work. Boo work!
  • Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker
    Bean must be occupied watching Jackson sniff his tie. I'll bet she'll be on here shortly...she has a 6th sense for all Jackson news!
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    **drags self away from staring at Jackson sniffing his tie**

    Oh, hi Kimmie! What's that? Jackson news? Sweeeeeet! ;)
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    She'll wake up and see we've all been calling for her, LOL.

    Here Bean (claps three times). Hereeeeee Beanie Bean..!

    :0)
  • Hard_N_Sparkly
    1st!
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    well, congrats on first!! :0)
  • EnglishCullen
    congrats on first!
    :)
  • Hard_N_Sparkly
    yay!!! my first time!
  • EnglishCullen
    wooooo jasper!
    that action shots brilliant!
    :)
  • MCJesus
    JACKSON!!!! heck yes, I'm loving it :D
  • Oh I do adore that man! He's amazing!

    I can't wait for Eclipse...time for Team Jasper to really shine!! XD
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    my roommate is reading Eclipse now, and she said she's switched teams from jacob to jasper, because she loves a southern gent who can fight. LOL
  • Haha I used to be completely Team Edward! Then I watched the movie and read the books again and I was like "Nah Edward's boring...TEAM JASPER!!" lol

    But I love that...a southern gent that can fight...classic!! Plus, he's a man in touch with his feelings...isn't that like the holy grail for women?!?! XD
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    No! All my old av pics are coming back to haunt me! I used to have that lovely pic.

    *sigh* Happy memories!
  • Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker
    You did, I thoroughly enjoyed looking at it too!
  • Huh? I'm confused!
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    I used to have the same pic of Jackson as my av pic a while back. And a couple of days ago I found someone else is using another pic of him that I also used to have. So it's a bit like 'the Jacksons of NMM past' for me! lol :)
  • Oh I see! Haha I love that photo shoot! He looked so amazing...not that he ever looks bad though!
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    lol, I love all the cullen boys- they are so dang sexy, and the actors really bring them to life for me. If I absolutely had to pick, it would be Edward.

    Everytime I watch Twilight, it's like seeing Rob Pattinson for the first time!

    *swoons*
  • Hehehe I feel that way about Jasper and Jackson. I get excited when I watch something that he's in lol
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    *gasps*

    you got an avatar! i love it!

    and you are now officially hooked on nmm.org

    :0)
  • Oh I know I am...I even linked nmm.org on my blog...how sad is that?!?!
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    not sad....AWESOME!

    LOL

    If it makes you feel better- I've got some friends from here that I've added on FB- so the Twilight cyber community grows!
  • Haha I've done the same thing with people that I've met on Twitter. One friend, who I now adore, I met on Twitter by searching for fellow KStew non-fans...the weird thing is...we're exactly alike!! lol
  • RobismyRomeo (RIMR_)
    I've yet to jump on the twitter bandwagon- it looks so confusing to me, LOL

    you and your twitter friend sound a lot like me and flpImtree95-- she and I have soo much in common, that it's a little creepy. LMAO
  • I love Twitter! I'm completely addicted to it!!
  • Jackson_Rules
    jackson is so pretty lol! cant wait to see him have more camera time in NM!! :)
  • Don'tDrink&RunWithWoodenStakes
    Jacksoooon!
    I still don't like his hair though haha but never mind.

    I knew that the piano scene is longer (we all did), but I'm glad he said it. Of course it's longer, you could see how sloppy job they did with the trailer because they rushed it. I know it will look amazing when they finish editing.:) I had goosebumps from that little piano scene, I can't imagine how it's gonna be in the theatre.

    I'm so glad David Slade was misquoted when he said that they're going to focus on the origin stories of several characters. I knew it wasn't Jacob...it didn't make any sense. I was afraid they're going to put in some made up unnecessary stuff and ignore the rest. Eclipse is already complicated and there's a lot of stuff going on.
    I'm so glad we'll see him more in Eclipse. I can't wait to see Jasper's story.
  • Kassielovesthecullens
    I am glad we'll see more during this piano/jasper scene as well. It's one of my favorite parts of the book cause it's the turning point that leads to all the emotional stuff. LOVE IT!
  • the_nina
    Does Jackson look like he got a lot skinnier from Twilight to New Moon? I hope he's taking care of himself.
  • TeamShirtlessEdward
    His hair looks horrible compared how it looks in Twilight. And yeah, he does look a little skinner.
  • LovesJasper
    DEFINITELY liked Jasper's look in the Twilight.....not too excited about his "change".

    SILL LOVE YOU JACKSPER!!!
  • JoUK
    All I think bout when I see that still of Jasper is SpongeBob!
    I neeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed iiiiiiiiiiiiitttttttttttttttttttttttt!
    LOL!
  • JASPER! I LOVE YOU! I don't like the New Moon hair though =(
  • ancha85
    Love him! A Texas boy whose a cutie pie in and out!
  • 4thewolf
    "skipping in and throws arms around ancha"
    HI, chili peppa!!!!! what's going on!!
    *whispers*
    People are becoming very antagonistic towards grey-faces around here.. I will shred anyone who touches, you, but you might want wolf-boy to upload you an avatar..
    But it's up to you, I will still love you just the same...
    Hm.. I see you're biased towards Texans there. There's so much more to him than just the Lone Star State..
    lol
  • ancha85
    Hey girl! (Big hug from TEXAS!)
    And yes he is so much more than the Lone Star State...
    But haven't you heard EVERYTHING is bigger in Texas?!
    Heck yeah!

    I asked the the College boy (I have a college age son, if you can believe it!) to help me figure out about the avatar...
    How do you like it?

    Now THAT is one beautiful wolfboy!!
    (Mine is too, but I'm a prejudiced mom!)
  • Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker
    And don't forget that everything is BETTER in Texas too!!
  • ancha85
    Ain't it the truth!!
  • 4thewolf
    Ooh, CHILI, that is tre' cool!!!!!! Yes I have heard that everything is bigger in Texas. Does that mean if we stick Jake there for a while, there will be more of him to go around.LOL
    Aww. your boys are so so nice!! (calculates how long chili's sons will have to wait before 4tw's daughter is old enough to date.. dang 14 years... way too long)
    So, when is your twi-con stint and how are you doing on your prep work for that?
    LOL
  • ancha85
    Hola, Wolfiegirl!

    No, I don't think that Texas will make Jake any bigger. (He's doing really well on that by himself, don't ya think?)

    However, I have come up with an "Eveel Plan"! We need to get Jake to Dallas or New York and get something with his DNA, so that we can get Dr. Evil to clone a Jake for each of us!
    All we need is a hair or something like that (maybe his toothbrush after he stays at your house?!) and we can clone him, like Peter is talking about with Rob!

    And while he's at it, I'll get Dr.Evil to clone ME, so that the 16 year old can officially come out into the real world. Her and Jake could then grow up and be together forever!!

    Dr. Evil better watch it though, cause he better not make us any "Mini Jakes", like he made "Mini Me", cause he will have the wrath of the Wolfpack Girls come down on him, and he can't handle that!
  • ancha85
    How about your Twi-con question...
    So far so good! The other Panel leaders and I have been exchanging emails and planning.
    We have about an hour to present, and then have another hour to actually do a lesson with our audience, in an interactive way.
    I think my part is going to be on how Twilight has gotten so many reluctant readers to read, and what we, as teachers, can do to encourage them.
    I can't wait!
  • 4thewolf
    OOh..cloning could be fun.... LOL... then again.. that would be a little odd to have that many Jakey cakes running around.. PPl would keep thinking their Jake was cheating b/c there would be a whole generational population explosion of cloned Jakes and they'd be seen everywhere. (no really, I wasn't out with someone else!!! it was another Jake, I swear it!)

    Yes, no mini-me Jakes.. I like 'em tall. LOL
  • ancha85
    Oh Lord... Did ya have to find a kink in my plan?
    Lord, having so many Jacobs around could cause quite a stir... He would be everywhere, which could cause quite a bit of confusion.
    Hey, maybe we could just create one for me and you and not give out the DNA sample to anyone else?
    Oh, that wouldn't work, everyone will want to get a Jake of their own...
    I feel the rain start to come down on my parade.
    This is Peter's fault, he shouldn't have suggested the clonning Rob idea in the first place!
    *pouting now*

    And about me using "y'all', I know to "yous guys" in the North "y'all" sounds all Southerny and sweet, but us Texas use it for good AND bad, as in
    "Y'all better watch it or we're gonna take you down!!!"

    See wolfie, I'm teachin' you to speak Texan!
  • 4thewolf
    Sorry.. holds up umbrella. Hate to crush anyone's dreams. You just keep thinking about your personal Jake. I'll take old-enough-Seth.. to leave room for all the Jake lovers out there..

    LOL

  • 4thewolf
    That sounds good, do ppl choose your panel ahead of time so you have an audience that specifically is listening for that, or how does that work?
  • ancha85
    Yeah,
    There will be several different breakout sessions at once, periodically through the day. People chose the ones that they are most interested in to go to. I think there is room in ours for about 200-300 people.
  • 4thewolf
    That is so totally cool, peppa girl!! I'm so proud of you....

    *pat pat*

    lol
  • ancha85
    I just now realized... Wolfie, you said that "your daughter" will be old enough to date? You never told me you had a daughter? That is so awesome!
  • 4thewolf
    Yes, my wolf pups are amazing.. So.. if your younger son won't mind waiting um.. you konw 14 short years, my daughter is quite pretty and her volatile nature would be quite the interesting challenge..

    LOL
  • ancha85
    Aww... how adorable!
    Well, if Andrew (my wolfboy) gets his wish and becomes the next pack member, it won't be difficult at all for him to wait for her. Look and Quil and Claire!

    And on the volatile nature thing... Andrew is half Hispanic (which includes Aztec!) and half Italian and Irish, so I think he can handle "volatile"! He sees it all the time, though really he is pretty "chill" himself, considering the gene combo he's dealing with!
  • Jess
    I like his new moon hair!
  • i can't wait to see Jackson, of course Robbie, the cast in this new and improved movie
  • jasperluver247
    I love jasper and i think that he is one of the most awesome characters in the twilight series. i am even doing a portrait of him and so is jayla_pattzlap. i would put it on the site if i knew how
  • JasperIsLove
    hey i dunno if you guys have heard of this yet, but there's this wicked cool website called fanfiction.net!
    its twilight fans who wrote their own fiction stories that are related to twilight and even have the characters in them! all the stories are original, theres even a story all about Renesme and Jacob's relationship!!!
    you have to check it out THEYRE SO GOOD!!!
    you might think its weird that people are adapting and changing the twilight story and characters, but it actually works. all the writers are so talented and they do such a great job, the stories get me so hooked!
    while you're there, check out my best friend's story, her account is DrivesLikeACullen and her story is called Broken Dreams. make SURE you leave her a review just really quick, because she loves hearing what other twilight fans have to say (;
    heres the link:
    http://www.fanfiction.net/u/1879890/
