Twilight's Alice stuck in the 80s

The first pics of "Twilight" cutie Ashley Greene in her new flick "Skateland" (premiering at Sundance), said to be a love letter to the 80s (might it be as good as Greg Mottola's "Adventureland"!?) has hit the Web.

Firstly, here's the synopsis for the new flick : ''Skateland'' explores the rupture of charismatic Ritchie Wheeler, brother and sister Brent and Michelle Burkham, and wise-cracking lady-killer Kenny Crawford's 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.
