‘I’m just lucky they live in two different dimensions,’ the actor tells MTV News. By Rick Marshall Jackson Rathbone Photo: MTV News Jackson Rathbone is a busy guy these days. With featured roles in not one but two of this week’s biggest releases, the “Twilight Saga: Eclipse” and “The Last Airbender” actor is doing the press rounds and fielding questions from just about every media outlet in the world. Don’t worry, though, MTV News still managed to ask him the most important question of them all: Who would win in a fight between his boomerang-wielding “Airbender” character Sokka and his “Twilight” vampire Jasper? Given the magnitude of the question, it’s no surprise he had to stall for time and defer to “Airbender” co-star Nicola Peltz when MTV News posed the question. “Sokka, no question,” Peltz said. Pressed for an explanation as to why her “Airbender” character’s brother, who can’t “bend” water and doesn’t have any special abilities other than a good throwing arm, could hold his own against the “Twilight” bloodsucker, Peltz reiterated that Sokka would be the victor if the two ever faced off. “Definitely Sokka,” she said. “He has a boomerang!” Rathbone, on the other hand, took a more neutral — though decidedly less fun — stance on the debate. “I’m just lucky they live in two different dimensions, two different worlds,” he said, going the safe route. “It’s an honor to be a part of these two big franchises that seem to have captivated the world in one form or another, and I’m just privileged to be able to do what I love to do.” With “Eclipse” arriving in theaters Wednesday (June 30) and “The Last Airbender” premiering Thursday, it looks like audiences will be able to decide for themselves soon enough. Which of Jackson’s characters do you think would come out on top? Sound off in the comments!

‘The ones with Tobey Maguire came out when I was 10 years old,’ he says of growing up on Spidey flicks. By Kara Warner Josh Hutcherson Photo: Michael Tran/ Getty Images Josh Hutcherson may still be a relative unknown in Hollywood, but he began making headlines recently when his name surfaced one of a handful of actors still in the running to play the title role in Columbia Pictures’ “Spider-Man” reboot . MTV News caught up with “The Kids Are Alright” co-star, and asked for some scoop on the Spidey audition process. “You can’t prepare for that and it’s so big,” Hutcherson said. “To be on a list with some of the people I’m being considered with is an honor. These actors are so good. It’s such a big movie. I grew up watching the original — the ones with Tobey Maguire came out when I was 10 years old — so it would be an honor. It’s just really cool to be considered for that.” Hutcherson couldn’t give up any more details, but he did reveal that he’d been put on the studio’s official audition tape, along with a host of other hopefuls. “They put so many people on tape, like, everybody I know is auditioning for it and going out for it,” he said. “They’re just trying to figure out exactly what they want.” Other actors rumored to be vying for the Peter Parker role include Jamie Bell, Andrew Garfield and Frank Dillane. Beyond “Kids,” Hutcherson’s feature film credits include 2009’s “Cirque du Freak: The Vampire’s Assistant,” director Jon Favreau’s “Zathura” and “Journey to the Center of the Earth,” with Brendan Fraser. He’ll soon be seen in this fall’s “Red Dawn” remake with co-star Chris Hemsworth. Who do you think should take on the Spidey role? Share your casting ideas in the comments!

When David Slade was announced as the director of the third Twilight film, Eclipse , it seemed like a risky proposition: he had only made two other movies ( Hard Candy and 30 Days of Night ), and both indicated a sensibility that might be too aggressive for the romantic Stephenie Meyer series. Perhaps that’s exactly what the franchise needed, though, as Slade’s turned in a well-received installment that’s a good deal more propulsive than Chris Weitz’s sluggish New Moon . The day after Eclipse’s Los Angeles premiere, Slade was still riding high from the audience’s reaction as he talked to Movieline about the tough shoot, his thoughts on the controversial Breaking Dawn , and the follow-up he definitely isn’t making next.

‘Twilight’ star in talks to play ‘high school bad girl.’ By Adam Rosenberg Ashley Greene Photo: Didier Messens/ WireImage “Eclipse” opens Wednesday (June 30), and the stars of the “Twilight” series are preparing for some time away from Stephenie Meyer’s sparkly vampire universe. With the two-part “Breaking Dawn” not shooting until the end of this year, the actors are free to pursue other projects. Ashley Greene is taking advantage of the break; she and “Hung” star Thomas Jane are both in talks to join Miley Cyrus and Demi Moore in “LOL.” The Hollywood Reporter reveals that Ashley Hinshaw and George Finn have joined the cast as well. “LOL” is a remake of the 2008 French movie “LOL (Laughing Out Loud),” directed by Lisa Azuelos. The story follows Cyrus as a teenage high schooler, recently dumped by her boyfriend (Finn), who must deal with her divorced mother (Moore) and a range of other issues in her life. If cast, Greene will play a “high school bad girl” while Jane will play Cyrus’ character’s father. Greene has a very busy schedule these days. In the midst of doing press for “Eclipse,” she recently wrapped her work on the ensemble indie comedy “Butter,” a story centered around a butter sculpting competition in the Midwest. She’ll also star with “Harry Potter” actor Tom Felton next fall in the Todd Lincoln-directed horror thriller “The Apparition.” Jane doesn’t have any other announced upcoming features at the moment, but the second season of “Hung” kicked off this past Sunday. Azuelos wrote and is set to direct the American-language remake of her 2008 film. The French original was her second solo effort as a director. Azuelos wrote and directed the French romantic comedy “Hey Good Looking!” in 2006; she also collaborated as co-writer and co-director with Patrick Alessandrin on the 1995 feature “Ainsi soient-elles.” Check out everything we’ve got on “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse.” For young Hollywood news, fashion and “Twilight” updates around the clock, visit HollywoodCrush.MTV.com .

Fox is said to be interested in developing a feature film based on the History Channel reality hit Ice Road Truckers — or at least that’s what director John Moore intimated on Monday. “We’ll turn it into a mission movie that harkens back to Towering Inferno , Jaws , or The Guns of Navarone ,” Moore told Deadline. “You got a problem, go solve it.” Indeed, and Moore is the man to do it. Lord knows if anybody has an eye for huge crap sliding out of control, it’s the director of Max Payne and that Omen remake. [ Deadline ]

Of all the reasons to love Dame Helen Mirren — her taste, class, grace, skill, discipline, fearlessness and ageless eroticism among them — 2010 might be the year we get the best look at her versatility. Having already given us the outsized wife of Leo Tolstoy in The Last Station , the Oscar-winner arrives in theaters this week as the flat-accented, fur-clutching, no-nonsense brothel madam Grace Bontempo of Love Ranch . October will bring the action-packed intrigue Red , featuring Mirren’s turn as a former CIA spook eluding an assassination rap alongside Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman and John Malkovich. The jury’s out on the latter film, but the long-delayed Love Ranch (directed by Mirren’s husband Taylor Hackford) indeed provides a worthwhile study of grande dame by way of Nevada desert.
