Jackson Rathbone Action Figure?

Well no one is running out to make a Jasper Hale action figure that we know of; however, don’t give up hope for an action figure based on Jackson.

It seems that The Last Airbender, the M. Night Shyamalan movie that Jackson filmed all summer that comes out at the same time as Eclipse, is all about action figures.

IESB Ian Somerhalder’s Take on The Vampire Craze

Ian Somerhalder, probably most famous for playing Boone on the first season of LOST, currently is featured in The Vampire Diaries. Christina Radish from IESB asked him why he thinks vampires seem to be in these days.

“Q: What is it about vampires, in particular? Why are vampires so hot right now?

Ian: That I don’t know. A very big element of it is that Twilight did so well at the box office. But, and this is just completely subjective conjecture, in the last five years, the movie industry, especially with strikes and all these things, has started to fall off the map. It’s these big, huge movies, like Iron Man and Batman, that are big comic book series films, that are making these studios all this cash, and the other movies have just fallen to the wayside, which is kind of crazy. The mythology behind vampires was always there, and it’s never really gone away, but now you have this market for it. They’re fun. There’s an element of power. They’re sexy, they’re dangerous, they’re beautiful and there is something that draws you to them. I don’t know who can explain it, but it’s here, and it’s here for awhile. There is something about the non-human of it all, which allows these characters to do things that we can’t do, and there’s a lot of escapism in that.”

Ian mentions Twilight several other times in the interview. Check it out on IESB.

New Moon Soundtrack Rundown

So over the last few weeks there has been all kinds of talk about the New Moon Soundtrack.  Chris Weitz, in an interveiw with Fandango, mentioned that Thom Yorke (from Radiohead), Bon Iver and Band of Skulls have all contributed to the soundtrack.  He also mentions begging the Kings of Leon to contribute a song which would be a fantastic addition. We have also seen tweets from The Used saying they were in the studio recording a song for the soundtrack.  Other than that we have no official word regarding it. However there have been several artists saying they have been “shortlisted” such as Jacqui Ryan and Lee Safar, both from Australia. Below you will find videos and links to each artist so you can check them out.  Let us know what you think in the comments! Also don’t forget the New Moon Soundtrack will be out on October 13th!!

**Please note these songs are just samples of the artists’ work.  We have no idea what will be used on the soundtrack.

Thom Yorke The Present Tense

The three members of Band of Skulls, Russell Marsden (guitar & vocals), Emma Richardson (bass & vocals) & Matt Hayward (drums), first met at college and quickly discovered that having two lead singers and three songwriters in a band was always going to present unlimited possibilities. With their creative process and sonic path fully intact the band quickly established themselves in the music and art community with a series of culturally inspired club nights in Southampton, London and further afield in Moscow and Tokyo.

Band of Skulls Fire

Bon Iver (pronounced: bohn eevair; French for “good winter” and spelled wrong on purpose) is a greeting, a celebration and a sentiment. It is a new statement of an artist moving on and establishing the groundwork for a lasting career.

It wasn’t planned. The goal was to hibernate.

Justin Vernon moved to a remote cabin in the woods of Northwestern Wisconsin at the onset of winter. Tailing from the swirling breakup of his long time band, he escaped to the property and surrounded himself with simple work, quiet, and space. He lived there alone for three months, filling his days with wood splitting and other chores around the land. This special time slowly began feeding a bold, uninhibited new musical focus.
