Twilight’s Ashley Greene is trading in her vampire fangs for roller skates. That’s an even trade, right? Okay, not really, but Skateland is scheduled to make its world premier at the Sundance Film Festival in the U.S. Dramatic Competition.

Here’s the official synopsis:

Skateland explores the rupture of charismatic Ritchie Wheeler (Shiloh Fernandez), brother and sister Brent and Michelle Burkham (Heath Freeman and Greene), and wise-cracking lady-killer Kenny Crawford's (Taylor Handley) seemingly complacent existence as they struggle with the collapse of their tumultuous home lives, the alcohol-induced idling of reckless adolescence, and the wane of their hometown hangout, the local roller rink. A story syncopated with moments of violent turbulence, of heartbreak and of new beginnings, Skateland immerses the audience in the brutal, but beautiful vastness of East Texas blue skies and the emotional claustrophobia of the bible belt. Enveloped by the brooding melodies and incendiary rock riffs of the early 80's, Skateland is a place where aging values wrestle with contemporary pop culture to create a paradoxical balance between old and new.

It’s no Whip It, but it sounds like Skateland has some potential. As always, it’s a monumental event seeing a Twilight star out of her comfort zone and I’m curious to see what Greene is capable of in a meatier role. Check out some of the images below and to see the rest, head over to Quiet Earth.
