After the premiere of the new movie from The Twilight Saga, vampires have dominated many conversations of young locals.
Jackson Rathbone, who plays Jasper Hale in the “The Twilight Saga:
Breaking Dawn — Part 2,” was at the Four Seasons Hotel and Resort on
Friday to discuss why the saga was such a phenomenon to begin with.
“I think what Stephenie Meyer was able to create was putting out that
there is the duality that we experience in life, which is love and
fear,” Rathbone said. “You have this character that falls in love with
someone she should fear. I think that when love conquers fear, it is
something that is so innate in our human sensibilities that we are
immediately attracted to it.”
“There are a lot of love stories out there, but there is not that
sense of having to conquer fear. To have the sensibility and
connectivity that you can fall in love and be love for eternity is
something I firmly believe in and that people look for in life. So to
me, that’s what draws people to it.”
Rathbone could not reveal much about the highly anticipated battle scene, but he believes it is going to leave fans speechless.
“I love action sequences. It’s really fun getting to utilize that
vampire strength and speed because we didn’t get to do it a lot,” he
said. “In a lot of the ‘Twilight’ films, we didn’t get a chance to
really dive into what makes a vampire movie so great. So it was amazing
to get a chance to dive in there.”
The battle sequence took about six weeks to film, some of which did not make the final cut.
When it comes to Rathbone’s relationship with the rest of the cast,
he said that they have all grown closer over the course of the films.
According to Rathbone, there is always a lot music involved when the cast gets together.
“I remember back on the first “Twilight” we would all jam together
and Nikki Reed and I would write together. She wanted to learn how to
write music and play songs. Rob and I actually played open mic night
close to the hotel. When we get together there’s a lot of music,” he
said.
Rathbone’s last day on set was not full of tearful goodbyes, but rather an emotional farewell to his character.
“For me, I had a nice moment taking off the white makeup and the
contacts and putting Jasper’s boots away. I really took the time to say
goodbye to the character because he’d been such apart of my life for a
long time.”
