Aim High

On August 1, a new web series will debut online that will have the Twi-hards all tied up in knots. No, this web series doesn’t star Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart or Taylor Lautner; but it does star one of the other actors in the mega-franchise: Jackson Rathbone

Aim High is about Nick Green (Rathbone) a high school student with a side job as an international spy. Nick is one of the US government’s 64 trained teenage operatives and just blew a hit he had on a Russian mercenary named Boris the Bear (Clancy Brown).

He is juggling the ripple effects of that along with his secret love for Amanda Miles (Aimee Teegarden from Friday Night Lights). The major problem there is that she’s got a jealous boyfriend (Jonathan McDaniel aka Lil J) who just so happens to be the swim team captain. Other cast members in the web series include Rebecca Mader (Lost) and Greg Germann (Ally McBeal).

The web series is directed by Thor Freudenthal and produced by McG. Again, the web series will debut on August 1 and will be released as a DVD sometime later this year.

You can see a trailer of Aim High here.
