Jackson Rathbone’s The Girlfriend: More Than Meets the Eye

It turns out that there is a lot more than lighthearted romance going on in Jackson Rathbone’s project that also heavily involves his 100 Monkeys bandmates. Director Justin Lerner spoke with MTV about an, up until now, not revealed plotline about the film’s main character, Evan Grey:

“The Evan Grey (played by Evan Sneider [who]also inspired the character) is a man in his twenties with down syndrome[sic] who wants to find love from a woman, and the film (appropriately titled) is about his journey to find a girlfriend. During the course of the tale, Evan comes into some sort of means — which we assume to be money — that he uses to help the girl he’s loved since high school (Shannon), who is currently a single mom.”

100 Monkeys is providing songs for the soundtrack. When asked about the role of music in the film Jackson Rathbone (who is also a producer on the film) said, ““I don’t know if you’ve ever seen a film before it’s finished, but a lot of times you watch a film half way through the cutting and there’s no music and you’re just like, where’s the emotion,” he said. “Once you add the music, it just really takes you along for the ride. Even back in the silent picture days you had somebody playing the piano.”

Jacob’s Transformation Clip on ITunes

The clip could actually more correctly be called Paul and Jacob’s Transformation since you see both of them morph. After, seeing it we also know why both Chaske Spencer and Alex Meraz said Kristen might be tiny, but that she can hit hard. Each of them got bruised from the scene. http://www.itunes.com/Twilight Photo credit: His Golden Eyes

Also, for all you Twitter people, Summit is going to release the Eclipse logo when they reach 200K followers on their new Twitter account.  The logo will be unveiled on at first exclusively on Twitter.

There’s also an interesting article up on The Movie Fanatic about how some studios are cracking down on stars using Twitter. They are afraid that all the secrets of their films will be let out.  It seems to us that Summit has taken the opposite approach here embracing the media and their stars, like Peter Facinelli, David Slade, who use it to tempt us without giving away the entire plot.

What do you think about the whole Twitter craze?
