In the third film, we get to see Jasper’s backstory – see who he used to be and why he’s having such a hard time transitioning. It’s very difficult to live that vampryic lifestyle. He’s always in pain but don’t know why, until the second film, when you realize that he’s the newest to the family and he’s basically dying of hunger. Jackson: The thing I like about Jasper’s arc is that it’s very developed - you don’t know much about him in the first film. PW: So is it difficult then to play Jasper over the course of five films? It’s important to me as an actor not to get pigeonholed. I try to change my look, my walk, my talk in every single person I play. It’s something I’ve always tried to go for. Honestly, I find it a little more boring than playing the psycho or bad guy antagonist. Growing up, in the theater, I always played these out-there characters, I was never the leading man. I want to spread my wings and play as many different characters as possible. PW: You seem to jump around with your films and characters - never sticking with one genre for too long. We’d help Rob out with songs he was working on, they’d help with songs I was working on, Nikki and I would write song together and Kristen would play a bit too. Sit around, play harmonica and work on some songs. Jackson: Oh yeah, we have a lot of musicians in the cast – it’s fun, we’d have Cullen Family Jam Band Sessions in the hotel. PW: Seems like music is a common theme on your sets - the “Twilight” cast is all pretty musical as well, right? We’d boogie down, and that would relieve some of the tension. Jackson: We’d always blare some crazy pop music in the makeup and hair trailers at the end of the day. PW: Any end of day rituals for releasing the tension? There are a lot of dark scenes but we had such wonderful people around on set, that it created this amazing environment where we could just be honest. Jackson: I think when you enjoy the process of filmmaking, it makes the movie better because you love what you’re doing. PW: What kind of affect on your performance does being on set that much have? It was a gut-wrenching scene to watch and I thought Hanne Steen did a great job making that honest and real. But I definitely wanted to be there that day. Jackson: Well, I like to be on set as much as possible, even if I’m not in that particular scene, I love watching. PW: The last 20 minutes are easily the hardest to watch, what was it like on set that day? Jackson: I gave the script to a friend and he said that almost made him wretch, and that’s when I knew I had to make this movie. PW: When did you know “Dread” had the ability to evoke this kind of response? PopWrap: I’m not going to lie, this film actually made me physically ill at the end. We also talked about more palatable subjects, like what “Twilight” fans can expect to see in this summer’s hotly anticipated installment “Eclipse”! I recently caught up with “Dread” star Jackson Rathbone and found out that my visceral reaction is exactly why he signed up for the film in the first place. If it’s the latter, I understand, but feel bad since you will miss one of the more intriguing movies that’s ever been included in the AfterDark Horror Fest. Now, that will cause one of two reactions for you: either “Dread” will be bumped to the top of your NetFlix queue or removed completely. As someone who has been watching horror movies for the better part of his 28 years, I can’t believe I’m about to write this sentence: I found the ending of “Dread” to be so unsettling, shocking and upsetting that I nearly vomited because of the film’s last act.
