Another interview with Jackson! He mentions ‘The Amazing Mr. Jones’ near the end of the interview and confirms he’ll be starring in it.
Emmanuel Itier: How did you come to be part of The Last Airbender?
Jackson Rathbone: It started about three years ago. M Night [Shyamalan] and I kind of hit it off right then and there, but he wasn’t certain about me. He said he liked me and would keep me in mind. Then all of a sudden, a year later, he called me in for a different character. Then it was just a matter of balancing it with Eclipse. They’re both amazing companies, and they worked really closely together. A lot of Summit execs have been at Paramount previously, so there’s a bond there and it all worked out.EI: What’s it like to open these two huge movies the same week?
JR: It’s definitely an experience. I’m blessed to be even in one movie and get seen! Honestly, I’ve done projects that nobody has seen — and I’m kind of glad they didn’t, about some of those projects!
