Meskada

Kellan Lutz says the Breaking Dawn scene he is most looking forward to shooting is arm wrestling with Kristen Stewart. He also reveals his sexiest woman alive picks. Check it out on PopSugar Rush!

I had a peek at indie crime drama Meskada back at the Tribeca Film Festival, and today I have the trailer to share with you. Nick Stahl stars as a young detective on the case of a boy's murder in his home county of Meskada. When the investigation exposes a chasm between two communities in the county — one wealthy, one not — the bleak movie becomes more about the politics of rich town vs. poor town.

Kellan Lutz takes a break from his vampire teeth to play supporting character Eddie, a citizen tangled up in the mystery. Meryl Streep's daughter Grace Gummer plays a girl with whom he shares a connection (and a steamy sex scene). So does Lutz have anything to do with the crime Meskada revolves around, or could it be one of the other shady characters we meet? Watch the trailer and make your own assumptions when you read more

The Tribeca Film Festival is rolling on in NYC, and this morning I was up bright and early to check out the promised Kellan Lutz shirtlessness in Meskada. Read on to see my review of the movie — and Kellan's abs.

• Who's behind it? Josh Sternfeld, whose first feature Winter Solstice debuted during the 2004 Tribeca festival, both wrote and directed the film. Nick Stahl plays the lead role, with supporting performances from Kellan Lutz, GI Joe's Rachel Nichols, Norman Reedus, and Grace Gummer (one of Meryl Streep's actress daughters).
• What's it about? Nick Stahl plays Noah Cordin, a detective in the rural but prosperous town of Hilliard. Noah is responsible for investigating the murder of a young boy during a botched robbery committed by Eddie (Kellan Lutz) and Shane (Jonathan Tucker). Higher-ups in the Meskada County police department send in an attractive lady detective to help Noah in the form of Leslie (Rachel Nichols). Eddie and Shane, meanwhile, return to their downtrodden village of Craswell, which also happens to be Noah's hometown. Craswell had been on the brink of revitalization with the promised arrival of a new factory and hundreds of jobs, but their collective future gets thrown into question when parties interested in the case flex their powerful muscles.
