A new photo of Jackson Rathbone as Sokka from the film The Last Airbender, has surfaced. The actor is shown (in what I believe to be) the South Pole with a child from his tribe.

The summer will be a great time for Jackson fans. His two movies, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse opens June 30th and the following week, The Last Airbender hits theaters, July 2nd.

Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz hit Cosmo Magazine’s radar as a Fun Fearless Male for their February issue and the actor stopped by to party with the other guys Monday night in NYC. While Breaking Dawn is rumored to start filming this fall (and will be split into two films - just like the Harry Potter series finale) the Emmett Cullen actor isn’t resting on his vampire laurels. The actor is costarring with another Twi alum, Ashley Greene in Warrior and the latest Nightmare on Elm Street reboot. Oh yeah, and there are those hot hot hot seriously sexy Calvin Klein underwear ads…

Lots more pics of Lutz looking fine when you click the link.

Taylor Lautner has been attached to LOTS of projects lately: Northern Lights, Cancun, Max Steel, Stretch Armstrong, Abduction and of course The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn. What he would or wouldn’t actually film, has been a matter of speculation for months. EW.com is reporting that Lautner has dropped out of Max in favor of Stretch and if the studio gets a director soon, he will film the hot hot hot Abduction before Breaking Dawn.

[...]the studio is frantically searching for a hot, young director to helm this action-adventure that reads like a teenage Bourne Identity. If, however, Lionsgate can’t secure the director in time, Lautner will remain a producer on the film and they will have to find another hot, young thing to star. Interestingly, Northern Lights, the movie that first propelled Lautner’s asking price up to $7.5 million and therefore stalled negotiations on Abduction, is definitely moving forward without the teen star.

What a convoluted mess - after all his hype (and it sure looks like it was ONLY hype!) Lautner will only actually be involved in Breaking D, Stretch A and maybe Abduction. Actually fewer projects for him may be better. I know I was sick of seeing his name for every single action movie - as if there are no other actors available.

Bonnie Wright stepped out to the Lancome and Harper’s Bazaar Pre-BAFTA (British Academy of Film and Television Arts) party tonight at St. Martin’s Lane Hotel in London, England. The Harry Potter actress was lovely in shades of dark gray, silver and cream as she arrived for the event.

Wright, who celebrated her 19th birthday on February 17th, confirmed that she is dating her Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows costar Jamie Campbell-Bower. The duo will be attending Sunday’s (Feb. 21st) awards ceremony along with Campbell-Bower’s Twilight costars Kristen Stewart (who is a ‘Rising Star’ nominee) and Robert Pattinson, who is presenting.

As both the Twilight and Harry Potter movie series wrap up in the next couple of years, the actors are working on their longevity in the business, signing on to new roles. Ashley Greene is costarring with Sebastian Stan in Apparition and now Draco Malfoy thespian Tom Felton joins the cast of the supernatural thriller.

“As far as my character goes, obviously he’s not an evil, jealous wizard,” Tom said with a laugh. “He’s a college student, a very intelligent, confident young man who’s really excited about what he’s getting himself into. At the same time, he has no idea what he’s getting himself into. This character has such a wide range in one movie. He starts off as a real go-getter, and as the story goes on, you really see him turn.”

Felton also mentions one big physical change from what we are used to: no blonde hair.

This movie sounds like it has great potential and I’m looking forward to seeing the Twilight and Harry Potter actors in other roles.

How many movies will Breaking Dawn, the final chapter of The Twilight Saga be made into has been a guessing game for fans of the series for some time. Summit, the studio that gives us the popular movies, had said that there would be only one BD flick even after actor BooBoo Stewart (Seth Clearwater) confirmed what most fans hoped for and had been assumed - there would be two movies.

Previously, author Stephanie Meyer said in an interview with MTV that she knew right where the film should be split - if it were to be made into two films and at that time seemed genuinely happy to have a two part ending to the saga. In January however, it was reported that Meyer could not “decide whether or not [making two movies] is the right thing to do creatively” and perhaps there was tension between the studio and creator. Meyer, who has given few interviews over the past year, issued a denial regarding any problems between herself and movie executives but it did make you wonder what was the problem?

After all the hoopla and behind the scenes drama, two movies will be made. An official announcement is due as early as next week. No director has been chosen (Chris Weitz, New Moon’s man in charge, has passed) and filming/production dates will need to be nailed down for all the actors - especially Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Taylor Lautner, Dakota Fanning and Ashley Greene who have lots of offers and other commitments.

The third film, Eclipse is due in theaters June 2010, and the first full length trailer was rumored to be attached to Percy Jackson & The Olympians: The Lightning Thief, opening this weekend (February 12th) however that has been debunked.

What do you think? Happy with two movies or ready to see Rob and Kristen in other non vampire stuff?

Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are in Park City, Utah at the Sundance Film Festival promoting their other film together The Runaways. The two teen costars popped in to a Joan Jett and the Blackhearts concert at Harry O’s on Sunday January 24th and appeared briefly onstage with Jett and former Runaways bandmate, Cheri Currie.

Fanning is portraying Currie in the upcoming movie and Stewart will be seen as Jett in the pic that chronicles the rise of the all teenage girl band of the seventies.

The flick opens Friday March 19th and will be talked about just for the kissing scene between Stewart and Fanning.

Twilight star Ashley Greene was on the verge of heading back to Florida until she landed the Alice Cullen role and her life has changed dramatically. Her New Moon costar Michael Sheen (Aro Volturri) quizzed her for Interview Magazine on what it’s like to be part of this huge franchise:

SHEEN: Now there’s so much more to this whole Twilight thing than just the films, isn’t there? There’s everything that goes with it—it’s a huge sort of phenomenon. What’s it like being right at the epicenter of that whole thing?

GREENE: [sighs] It’s a really hard thing to wrap your head around. I was working at a restaurant, I booked the role in Twilight, put in my two weeks’ notice, got fitted, flew to Portland, filmed, and then it started getting hype. That helped me get my foot into certain doors before the movie even came out. I did four independent films during the break between Twilight [2008] and New Moon. I haven’t even really had time to sit back and process it all. But when you do finally sit back and think about it, it’s incredible.

The actress has lots of movies coming up: Skateland will show at the Sundance Film Festival in January and she has just found her leading man, Sebastian Stan, for the upcoming flick Apparition. Check out the rest of the interview - Sheen is quite funny with his questions.

Actor Robert Pattinson seems to be the favorite to replace Tobey Maquire in the role of Peter Parker in the upcoming sequel of Spider-Man, “Spider-Man 4”. The movie will focus on the superhero high school years and who’s better than Robert for that role? If the movie producers want to captivate a younger audience, there are only two choices Rob or Taylor Lautner! And Taylor is already set to become Max Steel!

According to OK!, Michael Cera and Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford have also been considered for the role. Meanwhile Robert is busy shooting “Bel Ami” and the last movie of the Twilight Saga, “Breaking Dawn” should also be filmed in 2010.

Cosmopolitan magazine has named Kellan Lutz from The Twilight Saga and Paul Wesley of The Vampire Diaries as two Fun Fearless Males in it’s February issue. Here is an excerpt from Paul’s Q & A:

Have you done anything fearless lately?

“There was a stunt on Vampire Diaries that had me jumping off a building. I said no to a stunt double because I know my fear of heights is all mental. So I did a free fall for 60 feet with a harness that eased me into the landing.”

Below is ETOnline’s behind the scenes exclusive of the photo shoot. The issue is on sale January 12.
