EXCLUSIVE: Q&A With Twilight's Jackson Rathbone
11 May 2009 | Comments (0)
Radar Online
In an exclusive interview with RadarOnline.com, Twilight cutie Jackson Rathbone opened up on everything from his love of Vanilla Ice to which of his co-stars can bench-press the most weight. And he also shared a super-cute family photo, taken when he was just a tot!
RadarOnline: Your character in Twilight, Jasper, is so withdrawn and cold. Do you think fans are a little hesitant to approach you in public? Especially compared with some of your castmates?
Jackson Rathbone: People rarely recognize me, which is actually pretty sweet. I try to change my look in every role I take on: clothing, hairstyle, walk, facial expression, and the way I speak. Sometimes it's subtle and sometimes it's not, but as I am not a blonde in real life, people often do the double look before approaching me.
RO: You said in a recent interview that all the Cullen guys worked out together in the hotel gym during filming. So tell us: who can bench press the most?
JR: That would be Kellan [Lutz]. He truly is Emmett.
RO: You live in a house with other members of your band, 100 Monkeys, in Hollywood. What’s the hardest part about being roomies with two other guys?
Kellan Lutz on the making of Twilight and working with Edi Gathegi

FORGET tween fans screaming for snaps and signatures - for the stars of Twilight, it's the mothers that really get their vampire blood curdling.
As hundreds of die-hard devotees flocked to get their DVD copies of the super-successful book-turned-cult-movie autographed yesterday, Kellan Lutz (who plays the brother of heart-throb Robert Pattinson in the film) revealed teenage girls aren't - surprisingly - the ones to look out for.
"It's the mums who are the most full-on, I think some of them actually make their daughters stay home," Lutz told Confidential yesterday.
"And, bless their hearts, they come in these big groups and battle to give us the best presents, (like) candy, picture frames, flowers, baskets of stuff."
'Twilight' hunk Kellan Lutz's secret passion, Rob Pattinson's nerves, Taylor Lautner's bod

Los Angeles Times by Elizabeth Snead
"Twilight" hunk Kellan Lutz attended a fashiony event Tuesday night -- the swanky private dinner party at the Chateau Marmont -- hosted by tennis babe Maria Sharapova to launch the Maria Sharapova Sporting Collection for Cole Haan.
Besides the dishy dimpled Cullen vampire, the bash was populated by celebs including the uber-hot stylist Jen Rade, stars Nicole Richie, Ellen Pompeo, Josh Hartnett, Kerry Washington, and the women who are the buzz of this week's gossip blogs, Samantha and Charlotte Ronson.
But no sign of Samantha's crazed ex, Lindsay Lohan, even without that buzzed-about restraining order! Bummer. Wouldn't that have been drama.
But more about that later. …
First, let’s talk “Twilight.”
Kellan told the Dish Rag that he was going snowboarding this weekend.
“I love snowboarding but I can’t tell that to the studio because I’m not supposed to be snowboarding just before shooting.”
Well, no one from Summit's gonna read The Dish Rag, so you can relax.
After the snowboarding, which we're not going to ever mention again, he has two weeks of shooting on the set of “New Moon.” But it’s pretty low-stress.
“This one is not about the vampires at all. It's more about the werewolves. Taylor's going to be great. He’s really stepped up to the role and he deserves it.”
He revealed that Taylor has bulked up about as much as he can. Why?
Seems his height precludes him adding any more girth or it will look very strange and bulky onscreen.
Then Kellan heads back to the set in August for “Eclipse,” the third film.
He says that there was a huge sense of relief experienced by all the stars, but especially by Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart.
“They had so much weight on their shoulders before the first one came out.... So much anticipation.... Now they are more relaxed they have an idea of what to expect and they know that lots of people like it so it's all good.”
On the success of "Twilight," Lutz admitted, “Its kind of like a dream to work on a movie like this that has been so well-received it's just awesome. It's so great to have so many fans that love it.”
The star says his workout regimen hasn’t interfered with his candy habit
“Twilight” star Taylor Lautner may have made headlines with his bulked-up body for sequel “New Moon,” but he’s got another star to compete with in the abs department Kellan Lutz, who plays Edward’s brother, Emmett Cullen.
In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Lutz explained how he’d gotten what Seacrest called an “eight-pack.”
“I love to swim,” Lutz said. “I have a pool in my backyard.”
And the muscular star said his workout regimen hasn’t interfered with his candy habit.
“I have a candy drawer and I’m terrible with it,” he said. “Gummy bears, gummy worms, chocolate, everything. I eat so much.”
Despite the star’s good looks, it’s his on-screen brother in the vampire saga, Robert Pattinson, who’s gotten much of the attention of “Twilight”’s female fans, and Lutz knows why.
“His accent and his crazy hairdo gets the girls swooning,” he said. “I don’t have those locks.”
“Rob’s kind of shy,” he added. “ He’s such a humble guy, it’s hitting him hard.”
Indeed, the “Twilight” stars have found their profiles skyrocketing in the wake of the film’s popularity, making it hard to leave the house.
“We all (hung out) before ‘Twilight’ came out, we would go to the karaoke bars and just hang out and relax and now it’s like we can’t go anywhere without being hounded,” he said.
For now, he’s just going to the set. “New Moon” has just begun production in Vancouver under director Chris Weitz.
“Working with Chris Weitz and being with the cast again, it’s great,” Lutz said. “We did rehearsals all last week.”
Is ‘Twilight’ Star Kellan Lutz the Next Jason Bourne?
17 Mar 2009 | Comments (0)
MTV by Larry Carroll
He’s got the looks of Matt Damon, the muscles of Jason Statham, and can deliver a line way better than Jean-Claude Van Damme. So, does “Twilight” star Kellan Lutz have what it takes to become Hollywood’s next big action hero?
“I’ve got ‘New Moon’ shooting in April, and besides that I’m focusing on the film side of stuff: Reading a lot of scripts and checking out what the next big action movie is,” the 24-year-old actor (his birthday is March 15th) revealed to us when he stopped by the MTV studios recently, discussing his upcoming plans. “That’s the way I want my career to go.”
The timing certainly seems right for the burly, charismatic actor. Between taking down Cam Gigandet in “Twilight,” his first lead role in the upcoming sports drama “Warrior,” and the increased physicality of Emmett Cullen’s role in “Eclipse,” Lutz’s action star credentials will be on full display during the next year. Aside from Channing Tatum (“G.I. Joe”), it’s hard to think of any young action heroes right now and veterans like Statham, Damon and Will Smith are all circling the big four-oh.
“I want to be James Bond one day, I want to be Jason Borne,” Lutz explained of where he’d like his career to go in the years ahead. “I want my own franchise in the action world.”
Asked if he’d want to incorporate martial-arts moves into his acting like many of the modern-day action stars, he said: “I’d love to. I love Jason Statham, and I love Matt Damon and how they’ve done their stuff. They aren’t the big, beefy Bond-types like Daniel Craig. He’s also amazing at what he does, but these guys are smart guys.”
Lutz said he’d jump at the chance to similarly play a smart, fast, modern-day franchise star. “[Bourne and The Transporter] have a knowledge behind their weaponry and car-driving skills, evading CIA agents or whatever it’s nice to [play] that average Joe who has all the special ops up in his head, but can still win in a fight,” Lutz said of his dream role. “And I’ve been boxing for years, and have been doing Jujitsu. It would be nice to show that stuff.”
Do you think Kellan Lutz has what it takes to be the next big action hero? What existing character Bond, Bourne, The Transporter could you imagine him playing?
Kellan Lutz Spills About Eclipse Director
10 Mar 2009 | Comments (0)
Reelz Channel
Talking to MTV recently, Twilight's Kellan Lutz may have said too much about just who will direct Eclipse. Speculation that Drew Barrymore is in the running is ongoing, and we'd love to see the series back in a lady director's hands. But from what Lautner says, it seems a male director was set to do the film and then said unnamed male director fell out.
"I actually heard rumors that they did have a third director, and he fell out, and then they saw more people," Lutz told MTV, "I would say [the name of the third director] if I could remember it. But I know it was a guy." Lutz went on to say "I don't think there's any difference between male or female directors."
Of course, there is a big difference between men and women when it comes to directing: far more films, especially big films, are directed by men than women. Last year, the Los Angeles Times' Patrick Goldstein noted that only two (Mamma Mia! and Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2) of the summer's 30 major studio films were directed by women. Whatever happened with Catherine Hardwicke, it can't be ignored that she made a highly successful film. Given Eclipse's subject matter and audience, Summit should really take the opportunity to give the directorial duties to a talented woman director for the third movie.
Kellan Lutz Adds Mystery To Search For ‘Eclipse’ Director. Is Male Director On Tap For Third ‘Twilight’ Film?
09 Mar 2009 | Comments (0)
MTV By Larry Carroll
Over the last few months, a lot of cyber-ink has been spilled writing about the revolving door of “Twilight” series directors. And a lot has also been written about the belief by some Twilighters that women filmmakers are better equipped to depict Stephenie Meyer’s tender love story between a vampire and a human. All this made it even more interesting when I interviewed Kellan Lutz recently, and he revealed that Summit did in fact have a filmmaker in their sights for “Eclipse” that wasn’t Drew Barrymore.
And to paraphrase Austin Powers: It was a man, baby!
“I actually heard rumors that they did have a third director, and he fell out, and then they saw more people,” Lutz said of the director for “Eclipse.” “I would say [the name] if I could remember it. But I know it was a guy.”
It’s no secret that “New Moon” director Chris Weitz won’t be directing the third “Twilight” movie or that sometime around when this mysterious male director dropped out, Summit’s search considered Drew Barrymore.
Regardless, Lutz said the argument that only females should direct “Twilight” films is nonsense. “I don’t think there’s any difference between male or female directors, as far as who can relate,” insisted Lutz, who plans to have a pajama party at his apartment for friends on March 20th the night that the “Twilight” DVD is being released at midnight. “There’s no big difference of who can do what, or who is better with romance. I did like how Catherine [Hardwicke] did ‘Twilight,’ because it is that Romeo and Juliet type of movie.”
Clearly, the mysterious male “Eclipse” director couldn’t have been a name in the class of Spielberg, Fincher, Del Toro or the like, since Lutz couldn’t recall his name. But still, it’s interesting that Summit is willing to continue with testosterone-driven helmers behind the camera and now Twilighters everywhere will always wonder who that mysterious dropped-out dude was.
Summit Entertainment's newest film, Push -- starring Dakota Fanning (pictured) -- may have been the main event at its premiere last night in Los Angeles. But the studio still trotted out several Twilight actors to walk the red carpet, and the upcoming sequel New Moon was definitely on everyone's mind -- including whether Fanning would slip on evil Jane's fangs. "Dakota Fanning would be great as Jane," said Ashley Green (goodie vamp Alice Cullen). "I really hope that rumor becomes reality." Fanning, however, said she wasn't quite ready to bite. "I think it is too soon to say for sure whether I will or won't be in [New Moon]," she told EW.com. "But it would be really cool to do it. I am a very big fan of the books. I read them all and Jane is an interesting part. We haven't really sat down and talked about it. So we will see. It was a good experience working with Summit. I guess I now have an in at the company."
Meanwhile, Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen) told EW.com that much like future werewolf Taylor Lautner, he's been hitting the gym in preparation for the April shoot. "Bring on the wolves," grinned Lutz. "Emmett can take 'em." Lutz also says he's read the New Moon script, and it's "amazing." Fellow Cullen clan member Greene also said she'd just gotten her hands on the script. "I felt like a spy reading it," she said. "It does come very close to the tone and the events that are in book 2. There are a couple of things that were changed which I think make it more interesting for the visual medium but nothing that will upset fans of the books. I think it is safe to say that it will make everyone happy."
Perhaps there's a little Cullen clan favoritism going on at Summit, however, since actors Rachelle Lefevre and Edi Gathegi -- i.e. members of the Bella-and-Edward-hating vamp clan -- both said they hadn't seen the New Moon screenplay yet. "They are guarding the script like it is gold," said Lefevre, who added she's already planning how to get into the mindset of the vengeful Victoria: "I have to figure out how to channel that much hatred and grief healthily because that is a pretty dark place to go." There may be another reason, meanwhile, that Gathegi's in the dark on New Moon: He recently told producers he'd signed on for a spring Broadway production of the August Wilson play Joe Turner's Come and Gone. "When I told [Summit] I was going to the stage," said Gathegi, "they said, 'No you're not. We need you.' And I said, 'Cool. Let's try to do both.' We start the play in February and go until June. They are in, like, day 3 of negotiations to figure out if I can do both." But don't worry; Gathegi says he's committed to playing Laurent. "Worst case scenario," he says, "I get to hang out with my vamp friends and be in what is destined to be a huge movie released [on] Nov. 20." (Reporting by Carrie Bell)

‘Twilight’ Siblings Ashley Greene And Kellan Lutz Reunite As Love Interests In ‘Warrior’

Today, we have breaking news for “Twilight” fans that is best classified as good, bad and possibly a bit weird. And all of it comes courtesy of fast-rising, in-demand young star Ashley Greene.
The good news: Ashley is joining Kellan Lutz in the lacrosse drama we broke the news on last month. “It’s called ‘Warrior,’ ” Greene beamed when we caught up with her at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association Salutes Young Hollywood event.
“It’s been amazing,” the 21-year-old, who plays Alice Cullen in the vampire series, said of her life since the massive “Twilight” opening. “It’s been super busy. I just finished another film, and I started working on one today with Kellan of all people!”
Mania Exclusive: Kellan Lutz, vampire bro of TWILIGHT

Mania By: Leslie Morgan
"Good to see you you’re not as pale as you were" I jokingly say to Kellan Lutz who plays Emmet Cullen in the new movie 'Twilight', based on the novel by Stephanie Meyer.
Lutz’s character is a vampire and part of a family of vampires that live in Washington. My joke referred to the fact that in the film Lutz is incredibly pale and that contractually anyone playing vampires in the movie had to stay out of the sun as much as possible.
"Well I actually just get back from New York so I’m like where’s the tan?" Lutz is someone who seems to like the outdoors and being active so was it a challenge to not go out in the sun?
"I'm from the Midwest so I love the cold and I don't care to go to the beach that much so it was really nice to be in the woods. I had never even heard of a tanning booth till I got to the west coast."
'Twilight' Star Kellan Lutz Looks Forward To Emmett's 'New Moon' One-Liners

Lutz is thankful for his castmates, who are all rising to fame together: 'We really are quite a family.'
He's a star of movies, television and music videos. He elicits shrieks of joy and gift baskets everywhere he goes. With "Twilight" still holding strong at the box office, it sometimes feels like this is Kellan Lutz's world and we're all just living in it.
This past weekend, we caught up with the 23-year-old heartthrob as he prepared to rock out at the KIIS-FM Jingle Ball. And although it was just hours before he would learn that his director won't be returning for "New Moon," he assured us that the best days for the Cullen clan have yet to come.
Kellan Lutz Talks About Playing Emmett in 'Twilight'

He's handsome, enthusiastic, and women love him. And with a supporting role in Twilight as the burly big brother Emmett, Kellan Lutz is building up a huge fan base, one he embraces. When I sat down with him for our one-on-one interview during Twilight's Los Angeles press junket, he was just finishing off autographing a batch of posters for fans. If Twilight hits as big as many expect it to, then Lutz may want to rethink how he signs his name. His autograph is elaborate, with each letter fully formed. That may have to change once he gets bombarded with requests following the film's November 21st release.
"I like signatures," confessed Lutz. "I remember growing up just having fun doing it for no reason. I'd always want to sign a check when I was younger so I was like practicing…"
For now Lutz says he'll stick with actually spelling out his name unlike Robert Pattinson who takes a shortcut by just signing his initials. But Lutz admits there may come a time when he rethinks his position. "I love it but it's like I'm going to be doing all these conventions where, you know, we have to sign minimum of 600 and a minimum of 1,000. And it's like, 'Wow, it took me an hour to do 50,'" laughed Lutz. "So I don't know, I might have to get creative. But I like it and I'm learning to try and do it without looking in a way."

When folks like "South Park" and "The Soup" and even Kathie Lee Gifford are all talking about your movie, you know you've become a pop-culture phenomenon. And, oh yeah, $70 million doesn't hurt either.
Even the haters wouldn't dare debate the notion that a bright, shining spotlight is now focused on the young stars of "Twilight." The question is: Where do they go from here? On Tuesday (November 25), we took a peek into the immediate future of Robert Pattinson. Looking at his co-stars' calendars, we find a similarly intriguing mix this time filled with pet projects, 3-D slasher flicks and gender-bending dramas.

LOS ANGELES Let this be a warning to all teen girls: Vampire love can make you go deaf. Or lose your voice. At Monday night's world premiere of the movie Twilight, hundreds of fans, the vast majority teen girls, roared, cheered and swooned as stars of the film, opening Friday, made their way down the red carpet at the Mann Village and Bruin Theaters in Westwood.
The most deafening cheers burst forth for star Robert Pattinson, the British actor previously known as poor, doomed Cedric in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. The actor plays brooding "good-guy" vampire Edward Cullen in the film, based on a best-selling books series, and has become the heartthrob of the moment.
"Oh yeah, they flip over him," said Kristen Stewart, who plays Edward's mortal love, Bella. "All he has to do is run his hands through his hair."

Q&A: Twilight’s Kellan Lutz
07 Nov 2008 | Comments (0)
Vanity Fair By Kate Ahlborn
Kellan Lutz, 23, plays Emmett Cullen, the tall and intimidating vampire husband of Rosalie and adoptive brother of Edward. Lutz’s credits include HBO’s Generation Kill and this year’s revival of 90210.
VF Daily: Had you read the ”Twilight books before getting the script?
Kellan Lutz: I hadn’t. I didn’t even know there was a book series. I read the script while I was in Africa and fell in love with it. I loved the vampire story. It felt so new and fresh, not the typical “lets kill the vampire with a pitchfork” idea. It was really unique. They first sent me out for Edward’s role, and as much as I would have loved to be the lead, it wasn’t possible for me to fly back from Africa where I was shooting and audition as many times as they would have needed me to. So I read Emmett and he seemed so cool. Once I was cast, I was flown out to Oregon to start shooting, and my friend [and cast mate] Ashley Greene had all of the books. She asked me if I had read the books, and I was like, “Ha ha, you’re joking, there are no books.” So she gave them to me and I did my homework, I read all three of them. The fourth wasn’t out yet.
17 Questions: Kellan Lutz

Seventeen
Kellan Lutz of Twilight answers 17 juicy questions! 1. When was your first kiss?
I was young, actually, maybe like third or fourth grade. It was during Truth or Dare between one of my guy friends and two of our girlfriends. The girls would put their lip balm on I was obsessed with it! The flavors were chocolate, caramel, and strawberry (that one just took my breath away!)
2. Who's your celebrity crush? Lucky Justin Timberlake has Jessica Biel. I think she would just be the coolest girl to hang out with.
3. What's a girl fashion trend that confuses you? The dress with jeans. If it’s a dress, wear a dress; show your legs!
4. What's the chick flick you secretly love? I really loved Tristan and Isolde and Atonement.
5. What's your TV guilty pleasure? "Judge Judy." I'm obsessed with it. I’ll wake up every morning, hop in the shower, and turn my TV around to watch it. My brother will knock on the door, say ‘You still in the shower?’ And I'll be like, ‘Yeah, yeah, this is a good one!’
Vampire pals hang out in the 'Twilight'

LA Times by Gina McIntyre
Their vampire characters shun human blood. The young actors are a similarly civilized group, having spent so much quality time together.
Robert Pattinson has all the traits of a Hollywood heartthrob -- photogenic features, a lovely British accent and a starring role as the brooding but devastatingly handsome good guy vampire Edward Cullen in “Twilight,” the big-screen adaptation of the first installment in author Stephenie Meyer's wildly successful young-adult book series due in theaters Nov. 21.
The only thing that doesn't quite fit? Pattinson is one seriously self-deprecating guy.
"I can't watch myself on screen," said the 22-year-old actor, who previously appeared as Cedric Diggory in the "Harry Potter" films. "When my parents say, 'Oh, did you see this photo?' I immediately start going, 'Don't tell me about photos!' I haven't watched anything since the premiere of 'Harry Potter.' And that's because I couldn't find a way out.

LA Times by Denise Martin
20 days left...
As promised, here is the early edition of the paper's Sunday story on "Twilight." Times writer Gina McIntyre spent a sunny afternoon -- read: scorching hot at 100 degrees F -- with the actors who play three Cullen sibs: Robert Pattinson (Edward), Kellan Lutz (Emmett) and Nikki Reed (Rosalie).
She learned about Robert's "embarrassing" on-set injury...
For the movie's action sequences, the actors experimented with stunts and wire work, which Pattinson admits did not play to his strengths. "I got injured on the first shot of the first day," he said. "I wasn't even doing a stunt. I was just trying to pick up Kristen and I almost tore my hamstring because I hadn't been doing enough squats. It was very embarrassing."
...and what the boys did to wind down...
"When we did have those hard days," added Lutz, 23, "we would go back to Rob's room. He had a couple of guitars in there and a lot of great music. It was really fun being able to relax and have the cast come together, having that time just to bond and not really be actors but friends."

Saturday Night Magazine By Carla Thorpe
Lutz has been building buzz with roles in Stick It, Prom Night and the new 90210, but the 23-year-old heartthrob’s career is about to spike when he appears as big bro Emmett Cullen in the highly anticipated romance/vampire/action movie, Twilight.
How was your experience working on Twilight? Was there a lot of pressure to live up to the novels?
I loved every part of working on Twilight and honestly nothing about doing the movie felt like work. I mean, we shot in one of the coolest locations in the US, I worked with a lot of my friends, we had the best cast who loved to hang out on and off of set, we had the coolest most creative director and we had the best crew. There wasn't that much pressure. Yes the movie is based on the book but I loved the script and I know we will do the book justice and then some.

Taking on the role of Edward Cullen's big brother Emmett , Kellan Lutz is confident that fans of the Twilight book series will be pleased with the film adaptation . "Yes the movie is based on the book but I loved the script and I know we will do the book justice and then some," he said when he talked with Saturday Night Magazine .
Kellan said that he's already encountered fans of the book series, excited to catch a glimpse of the movie version of Emmett Cullen. One night, he and some friends decided to catch a local high school football game.
Lutz reports, "As soon as we got to the hot dog stand, this girl said 'Kellan I love you. Can I have a picture?' She was shaking so much which I thought it was very cute and of course we talked for a bit and took some pictures and we said goodbye."
I can't believe HE REMEMBERED ME! I'm shaking now as I type this.
Kellan Lutz On The Book Rock Of ‘Twilight’ And ‘Harry Potter’

Twilight has one up on Harry Potter, at least when it comes to the music at least one member of the cast of “Twilight” has heard Twi-rock. (Daniel Radcliffe, however, has not heard wizard rock… yet).
“It’s such a cool idea,” said Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen in “Twilight.” “I love this stuff! The Bella Cullen Project, they’re doing awesome.”
Lutz counts himself equally a fan of HP and Twilight, and is glad to see that wizard rock has opened the door for book rock. “I think there’s a lot of potential with all the fans that are out there,” he said. “How much they care about it, how passionate they are, it’s really cool to see.”
'Twilight' Tuesday: Kellan Lutz Recalls How He Almost Wasn't Cast As Belligerent 'Goofball' Emmett

Like his character, the actor can't wait to sink his teeth into a good fight.
PORTLAND, Oregon When it comes to "Twilight" Tuesday here at MTV, we try to operate on one simple motto: Ask, and ye shall receive.
