The J-14 New Moon Countdown continues!

For today's exclusive J-14 New Moon special, we chatted with Jackson Rathbone, who plays Jasper Cullen, about what it's really like on set when it comes to vampires vs. werewolves.

J-14 exclusive interview with Jackson Rathbone on Vampires Vs. Werewolves

J-14: Going from Twilight to New Moon, there's definitely a shift in focus from vampires to werewolves. How did that effect the chemistry on the set -- do you feel like you had to take a backseat?

Jackson Rathbone: Not really. It was one of those things when we came back for New Moon, it was like a family reunion because we are like a family. We do eat together, play together, and what not. It was kind of like we came back in for a good two or three weeks, we did our piece and then we left and then the story really got taken over by Taylor Lautner playing Jacob Black -- and he just does an incredible job.

J-14: So it has a totally different focus than Twilight?

Jackson: It's one of those things where you think losing Robert Pattinson for a lot of the movie would kind of be like a down turn but you basically get another, equally inspired, and equally riveting male star in Jacob Black. It's one of those things where Bella is devastated by the departure of her vampire love but you know she gets her spirit rekindled by her growing friendship and her growing love in her and Jacob.

Twilight fans beware -- Victoria might have the power of evasion... but she'll have a totally different look in the third installment of the film, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, which begins filming in Vancouver next month.

Summit Entertainment just confirmed to J-14 minutes ago that Rachelle Lefevre will NOT be returning to film the third chapter of the film series.

Instead, the Golden Globe-nominated star of Terminator Salvation and Spider-Man 3, Bryce Dallas Howard, will take over the role. Rachelle was unable to continue the role due to scheduling conflicts with another commitment.

The character of Victoria is more prominent in Eclipse, as she creates an army of newborn vampires that the Cullens must take down.

The official description of the movie reads: "In The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, Bella once again finds herself surrounded by danger as Seattle is ravaged by a string of mysterious killings and a malicious vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, she is forced to choose between her love for Edward and her friendship with Jacob - knowing that her decision has the potential to ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf. With her graduation quickly approaching, Bella is confronted with the most important decision of her life."

The Twilight Saga: Eclipse will open in theaters on June 30, 2010.

The newly cast wolf pack will be played by Native American/First Nation actors Chaske Spencer, Bronson Pelletier, Alex Meraz, Kiowa Gordon, and Tyson Houseman. In New Moon, the wolf pack will protect humans from the vampires.

All of the wolf pack cast is of Native decent: Chaske is Lakota (Sioux), Bronson is Cree-Metis, Alex is Purepecha (Tarasco), Kiowa is Hualapai, and Tyson is Cree (and he got the part from an open casting call!). They were cast by Rene Haynes, who also cast Dances with Wolves and Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee.

Additionally, Edi Gathegi who played Laurent in the first film says there's a new cast member he's SO thrilled about -- but can't say yet! So stay tuned for more exciting casting info!

J-14 just got off the phone with 90210's AnnaLynne McCord who's up for a part in the Twilight sequel, New Moon. "I would love to be a part of it," she says. She told us she's totally Team Edward! "I gotta go with the vampires."

Not only that, her 12 and 14 year old cousins are totally obsessed with her Twilight celeb-friends! During a recent family get together, AnnaLynne spilled that her cousins started texting, "We love you" to Ashley Greene and Kellan Lutz. Kellan called AnnaLynne back asking, "Did you send me some weird message like how you love me?" AnnaLynne explained how it was her cousins who did that - OMG! how embarrassing!

AnnaLynne's cousins want her to get a part in New Moon so badly they've even started blogs to campaign for her!
