'Twilight' Stars Go Indie This Summer

Greene stars opposite Shiloh Fernandez (Red Riding Hood) in Skateland, a wistful coming-of-age drama set in Texas in the early '80s, as the closing of a local roller-skating rink marks change in the lives of a group of young adults. (Shades of Stewart's own '80s-set indie, Adventureland, from a couple of years ago.)  Skateland played at Sundance and SXSW in 2010, but is just making its way into limited release now.

 

 

Lutz, meanwhile, plays Mandy Moore's newlywed husband in the comedy Love, Wedding, Marriage, in which Moore plays a marriage counselor who freaks out when her own parents get divorced. The film features James Brolin, Jane Seymour, and Jessica Szohr ("Gossip Girl"), and is directed by actor Dermot Mulroney, known for his starring role in another wedding comedy, My Best Friend's Wedding. Love, Wedding, Marriage opens in select theaters on June 3, and is already available on video-on-demand through IFC Films.

 

 

Finally, Rathbone plays the ex-boyfriend of Shannon Woodward ("Raising Hope") in the tender drama Girlfriend, about a young man with Down Syndrome (Evan Sneider) who is infatuated with a cash-strapped single mom (Woodward). The film debuted last fall at the Toronto International Film Festival and is set for release on September 9.

 

 

Which Cullen clan member's film are you most excited to see?
