J-14 exclusive interview: Jackson Rathbone on Attacking Kristen Stewart

J-14: Jackson, you in particular have a much more crucial role in this movie. What was it like for you to go lurching at Kristen Stewart and be fought off by Rob Pattinson? Was it as intense as it looks?

Jackson Rathbone: Yeah, it was as intense as it looked and a little bit more actually. I don't want to give too much away but both Kellan [Lutz] and Peter [Facinelli] had to hold me back through that scene. It was one of those scenes that we talked before and I really wanted to go all out and it was great getting to work with the guy doing the stunt stuff with Rob, Peter, and Kellan, because they actually held me back. They actually stop me from getting hurt because if they hadn't held me back I would have taken Kristen down.

J-14: Kristen would have been a goner, huh?

Jackson: Oh yeah!
