Jackson Rathbone’s ‘Girlfriend’ Trailer and Photos

If you haven’t seen the trailer, here’s the official trailer for Jackson Rathbone’s new film “Girlfriend,” which premiered at the 2010 Toronto International Film Festival on September 12th.

Per MTV:

Twilighters who find themselves on Team Jasper probably have only one complaint when it comes to Stephenie Meyer’s franchise: They want more of the peaceful-one-minute, violent-the-next vampire who attacks Bella and sets the “New Moon” plot into motion. Jackson Rathbone, the actor behind Jasper Hale, is set to remedy that grievance with “Girlfriend,” a romantic drama that will find the actor leaving the world of vampires behind but continuing to play a character that viewers will find both trustworthy and potentially dangerous.

“Girlfriend” follows the story of Evan, played by newcomer Evan Sneider, a man with Down Syndrome who comes into a hefty lump of money after a tragedy occurs in his life. He decides to give it to the down-on-her-luck Candy, played by Shannon Woodward, a single-mother who he’s loved since they were young but who has problems of her own. One of those problems is her ex-boyfriend Russ, played by Rathbone, which leads to the creation of a very volatile love triangle.

This is director Justin Lerner’s first feature film, and he describes it as a “harsh, modern-day take on the ‘Beauty and the Beast’ fable.” The movie is a real world story set in Middle America which will bring Rathbone’s character into a very bizarre and unconventional love triangle. The “Girlfriend” project came about when Lerner met one of Rathbone’s “100 Monkeys” bandmates Jerad Anderson at the Sundance Film Festival last year. He passed the script along to Rathbone who loved it, and decided to produce the film with Lerner.

Looks like a tearjerker to me! Thoughts?

Jackson Rathbone 100 Monkeys Performance-Video and Photos

Those ‘Twilight’ kids sure do spend a lot of time together. WTF? Are they trying to replace the Brat Pack? Sorry, Nikki Reed will never come close to Molly Ringwald, or even Ally Sheedy.

So here they are, in Vancouver last night at a 100 Monkeys show. In case you aren’t female or in case you don’t live within a 100 mile radius of one, Jackson Rathbone (aka Jasper Hale/Cullen) is the lead guitarist and singer of the band.

Nearly the entire cast came out to listen to Rathbone and his band including everyone’s favorite ‘we’re not a lesbian couple’ couple, Nikki Reed and Kristen Stewart. They can be seen in the video in the front row. At first, I was pretty sure Nikki was having a seizure, turns out that is what she calls dancing. Feel the beat, girl! I have been to many a ‘White Girl Dance Party’ myself. KStew was more subdued and opted for taking pictures of Rathbone as he played. FYI, the paps have way better cameras than that. You should really just invest in some of those pictures.

Others in attendance were Taylor Lautner (anyone else wondering how the 17 year-old got in?), Peter Facinelli, Kellen Lutz, and Ashley Greene who apparently spent her time there playing touch my hynie with Lost’s Ian Somerhalder. Oh! Me likes! It’s like my two favorite things in the world are merging: ‘Lost’ and the ‘Twilight Saga’. Somerhalder is in Vancouver shooting the new series ‘The Vampire Diaries’. I guess fictitious vampires dig Canada, eh?

Notably absent was Robert Pattinson. I don’t think he’s so much the dancing/pose for pictures in a crowded bar full of Twi-hards type.

What do we think of Rathbone’s singing and playing? He’s pretty decent, though the audio is poor. When you’re that pretty, it really doesn’t matter though, does it?
