While we wait patiently (or not so patiently, ha) for the official release of the trailer tomorrow, here are the recent radio interviews Jackson has with 100monkeys.

With 13 weeks until “New Moon” hits theaters, Jackson Rathbone has plenty to keep him busy. Beyond work on “Eclipse” and “Avatar: The Last Airbender,” Jackson is starring in and producing the 2010 film “Girlfriend.” Hollywood Crush was lucky enough to speak with Shannon Woodward, who was just cast as the film’s titular girlfriend. Shannon will be playing Candy, the former high school sweetheart of Jackson’s character.

Orlando Bloom did it a few years ago with “Lord of the Rings” and “Pirates of the Caribbean.” Samuel L. Jackson sort of had it going on with the “Star Wars” and “xXx” films. And Ian McKellen might have been the king, as he balanced the “LOTR” and “X-Men” movies for years… in his 60s! Now, could Jackson Rathbone be the next actor to pull off the rare simultaneous-double-franchise trick?

“Aw, man I got to do a lot of fight scenes in ‘Airbender’,” the affable “Twilight” star explained to us when we asked about his recently-wrapped upcoming blockbuster based on the “Avatar: The Last Airbender” TV cartoon show. “It was fun for me, because I grew up a little bit in Texas, and did a little Texas football. So, that little contact is good every once in a while; it kind of lets the aggression out.”

I’ll hopefully have more updates for you tomorrow.

You may know him from the mega-hit Twilight. Now, actor Jackson Rathbone is plugging his latest film right here on 69 News. He sat down with WFMZ’s Eve Tannery to give us a sneak peek of his new flick, M. Night Shyamalan’s “The Last Airbender.”

Jackson Rathbone: “It’s just this epic fantasy kind of like Lord of the Rings. It’s a battle between good and evil and I play a young warrior who with his sister finds The Last Airbender whose going to save the world.”

The Last Airbender has been filming in Berks County. You can catch Eve’s interview in its entirety, plus a performance from Jackson and his band, on Monday, only on 69 News Sunrise.

Iidaa let me know that Jackson’s Criminal Minds episode airs this Thursday (04.06.09) in Norway, on TV2, so make sure to catch that if you haven’t already! :)

According to slashfilm, the teaser trailer for The Last Airbender will be attached to Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen! Hopefully Jackson will be featured — let’s cross our fingers! The link has a few photos from the film — no Jackson, but still fun to look at!

Looks like Mr. Rathbone just snagged a new role for himself!

Hot Japanese director Sion Sono is set to make his English-language debut with Lords Of Chaos, about Norway’s black metal music scene, which has Twilight’s Jackson Rathbone lined up to star.

Based on Michael Moynihan and Didrik Soderlind’s book of the same name, the film depicts true events and revolves around the black metal sub-culture that spawned a wave of murders and Church arsons across Norway in the early 1990s.

Rathbone will play the lead role of The Count, often referred to as Norway’s Charles Manson, who brutally stabbed a black metal musician to death in 1993.

Stuart Pollok of LA-based Saltire Entertainment, Ko Mori of Eleven Arts and Oh Jungwan of Korea’s Bom Productions are producing the film, which starts shooting in Norway in mid-September.

Rathbone plays Jasper in Summit’s Twilight series and is currently shooting the lead role in M. Night Shyamalan’s $140m (€103m) The Last Airbender for Paramount Pictures.

Sono has a growing fanbase overseas thanks to films such as Suicide Club, Exte: Hair Extensions and most recently Love Exposure which won FIPRESCI and Caligari prizes in Berlin this year.
