Jackson Rathbone, aka, Jasper Hale, is telling all about the third 'Twilight' film in a new interview.

Rathbone told MTV, "I'm really excited to start filming 'Eclipse.' I got a chance to read the script, and we get to go back into Jasper's backstory. They actually had to ask me about my equestrian experience. I told them I can gallop and trot and all that. I used to ride. It's been two or three years since I've been on a horse, but I'm excited to get back up on the saddle."

In 'Eclipse,' Jackson says they will shoot some Civil-war era scenes, including the one where his character becomes a vamp, and when he meets his true love, Alice Cullen, played by Ashley Greene in the films.
