MTV: Out of the new characters joining the franchise for “New Moon,” which is your favorite?
Jackson Rathbone: My favorite character in “New Moon” that wasn’t in “Twilight”? I guess my favorite character in “New Moon” is a collective — the Volturi. It’s one of those things that’s really nice to see, these decadent older vampires that run this vampire society, if you will. I think they’re an amazing group of actors that we were able to get for the film, and they are very scary and intimidating. They’re all perfect — I mean, Dakota Fanning is a terrifying Jane; absolutely terrifying.
Heh…how does Jackson know that Dakota is good as Jane? He wasn’t in those scenes….
He most likely saw a cut of the film with the cast.
He and some of the cast saw an incomplete version of New Moon sometime in August.
Jane is my favorite. Dakota Fanning is physically the perfect embodiment of Jane and I know she will play the part well because she is a phenomenal actress.
Agreed!
Honestly, I never understood why some fans were skeptical of Dakota. She’s quite a versatile young actress, and she’s absolutely lovely. In the promotional pictures of Jane, she does possess those angelic, child-like features.
I did worry about the volturi when I first saw the stills, but watching the movie clips and trailers, and seeing them in action gives me goosebumps…CAN’T WAIT!!!
