Skateland Review
The movie starts with was seems like a normal family. A teenage boy and his almost two perky sister and his happily married parents. The first few minutes of the movie show his life. The teenage boy goes to work, then comes home to have dinner with his family. Then it shows his friends. Enter Ashley Greene.
I have to admit when I first heard about this movie I was cynical. I assumed it would be carbon copy of the movie Adventureland. A film done a few years ago by Kristen Stewart in which she plays a teenage among a group of teenagers who work at a theme park.The theme and story line is pretty much the same, but Ashley and Kristen are both two different types of actors.
Ashley manages to take a character like Michelle. A smart girl who knows exactly what she wants in life and makes her seem vulnerable. Throughout the entire movie Ashley manages to hold herself well and give a very emotional performance as this character.
I can personally relate to Michelle as many can. She falls in love with her best friend as and it leaves her having to make difficult decisions. This movie though cheezy at times. Is overall a pretty good find. The story line is pretty good and the cast over all give really amazing performances. If you like stories about love, relationships and friendship you will like this movie.

"On The Teen Beat" Interview With Ashley Greene Skateland And Breaking Dawn
Q: How did you like all the '80's details in the film, particular your hair and costumes?
AG: They were very fun, certainly a departure from anything I've ever known. I'm very I think simple in my fashion, my hair and makeup and all of that stuff. I mean, it was fun. I looked exactly like my mother which was the funny part. I sent my mom pictures and her and my dad were like, 'This is crazy and uncanny.' So it was fun to be able to do. Honestly, when else am I going to be able to wear blue eye shadow.
Q: Your character is the kind of music aficionado in this movie. What kinds of music did you end up appreciating and liking as a result of this movie?
AG: As much as I hate to admit I didn't really know who The Cure was. I know, I know, but I do now. I do now. The director made me a compilation. I think that I had twelve CD's of '80's music. So The Cure was definitely one. I think Joy Division was another big one that I kind of now have an appreciation for. But I was sadly not well versed in '80's music before I did the film.
Q: It wasn't the Totally '80's compilation set was it?
AG: No, it wasn't. It was a bunch of burned CD's.
Q: In what ways was Michelle, your character, like you and in what ways do you think you're different from her?
AG: I'm definitely hardheaded and I think of myself as a strong girl. I'm kind of no nonsense as well. I'm driven. Right out of high school I moved to L.A. to kind of pursue my dreams and do what I wanted to do, and of course had the plan and path to go to college like everyone else and then decided that if I didn't do this I was going to regret it. So I kind of bit the bullet and did it. I think there's a lot of similarity there. I think differences are probably how much she's into music. I don't know that I would've had as much patience as she did with Ritchie Wheeler. I think that might not be one of my strong points. So that's kind of a difference between she and I.
Q: Can you talk about working with Shiloh Fernandez? You two have great chemistry in the film.
AG: It was really, really fun working with Shiloh. It was fun and easy. I kind of knew from the chemistry read that it was going to be great and easy from the second that we started bantering and working back and forth. We butted heads a few times on set, but I actually have an appreciation for that because we're both artists and I think that we both, in the same scene, sometimes have different views on our characters and what we would do. I actually really appreciated that because we'd butt heads and then we'd come to an understanding and go from there. I think that we actually learned some things about ourselves and our characters in the process, but he's still a very close friend of mine and it was a really positive thing that I took out of the film.
Q: At what point did you film Skateland in the Twilight series? Was it before or after the second one?
AG: It was before, right before New Moon. It was a while ago. This is something that I filmed like two years ago.
Q: The after-effects of the earthquake and tsunami in Japan temporarily halted filming of "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" in Canada’s Vancouver area. What’s the latest update on the filming?
AG: Everything kind of got turned upside down and inside out. We got the least of the brunt of things. We have to be thankful for that. But really, it’s more about that we had to pick up and move to a different location and switch scenes around, but we are certainly moving forward and carrying on. It’s not really going to affect the film too harshly.
Q: Do you have any comment on the disasters that have hit Japan?
AG: I’ve certainly voiced my opinion — as have a lot of my other friends — about raising money for Japan and being with them and praying for them, because I think it’s something unpredictable and horrible and unexpected and really unfortunate and heartbreaking. I certainly send out my prayers and my thoughts to the people and to their loved ones and lost ones. And hopefully, we as Americans are going to do everything we can to help them rebuild.
Q: Did you and Shiloh ever get a chance to talk about working with Catherine Hardwicke, even though he made Little Red Riding Hood long after this film, what she was like?
AG: Yeah. Shiloh was actually one of the frontrunners for Twilight and so whenever we were doing Skateland we certainly had discussions about her and I think that we kind of have the same opinion on her, that she's just fantastic. She's wild and crazy and eccentric and very fun to work with. He kind of after the Twilight process remained friends and in contact with Catherine and I know that she really did like Shiloh for the film and he didn't just quite fit. So I think it's really cool that it did come back around and that he was able to work with her on Red Riding Hood.
Q: Have you seen the film?
AG: I haven't seen it, no. I really want to. I mean, it looks very cool and beautiful. I'm going to see it, absolutely, and kind of support him. I'm very excited for him that he finally got to get out there and do something.
Q: What about working with a writer/director on this film. Does it make it easier when you have questions on the film, working with Anthony Burns on this?
AG: Definitely. He kind of had all the answers and because it was kind of based on their adolescence and they grew up in this small town. Some of these characters, the character that I played is actually a person that exists that they know, who I met while I was filming Skateland. So, yeah, that's definitely helpful and they know everything.

Camelot Rolls a Deal With 'Skateland'
Distribution Division Obtains Foreign Rights to Sundance Selection
LOS ANGELES, May 20, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Camelot Entertainment Group, Inc. (OTCBB:CMGR - News) ("Camelot") announced today that Camelot Distribution Group ("CDG") has acquired a Sundance and SXSW official selection, Skateland, starring Shiloh Fernandez (Cadillac Records, The Girl with the Red Riding Hood) and Ashley Greene (Twilight Saga). CDG obtained all foreign rights to the film, while CAA holds domestic representation.
Skateland is a Freeman Film production written and produced by Anthony Burns, Brandon Freeman, and Heath Freeman and directed by Anthony Burns.
"The teenage female demographic is driving a larger portion than ever in box office and home entertainment sales, illustrated by The Twilight Saga and Dear John," stated President of Distribution Jamie Thompson. "After screening Skateland at Sundance, we immediately saw its potential within the market niche."
"We are excited to be working with Camelot on foreign distribution," stated Brandon Freeman, President of Freeman Film. "It is clear that Camelot shares our passion and enthusiasm for Skateland -- coupled with an established platform and a focused strategy, we are confident in their success."
Set in the early 80's in small-town Texas, Skateland follows the summer of life-changing events for 19-year-old skating rink manager Ritchie Wheeler. The soundtrack includes music by New Order, Blondie, Def Leppard, Talking Heads, and A Flock of Seagulls.

Mtv: Ashley Greene Explains Why She Doesn't Skate In "Skateland"
Svensk översättning efter videon.
Even if "Skateland," the Anthony Burns-directed drama starring "Twilight" actress Ashley Greene, isn't entirely about skating, it's a sure bet that you will see certain actors skating over the course of the movie. Just don't expect to see Greene, who plays leading lady Michelle Burkham, strap any wheels on her feet.
"I don't [skate] actually, which is probably a good thing," she confessed to MTV News at South by Southwest. "I used to rollerblade, but the four-wheel roller-skate thing is a whole different experience."
According to the actress, Greene wasn't unwilling to skate in the film, but her early experiences as a clumsy child made her nervous to get into the rink.
"I'm pretty coordinated, but I'm a little terrified of falling and breaking things," she said. "I was a pretty clumsy child, so I'm always very aware that I'm a little bit accident-prone. But I wouldn't have minded jumping on some skates."
Although skating was off the table, Greene was able to fully embrace another important aspect of "Skateland" — the 1980s setting. Born in 1987, Greene admitted to having a limited connection to the decade, but filming "Skateland" opened her eyes to the time period.
"It was actually really fun," she said. "I didn't really get to experience the '80s except as a 1-year-old, so it was really cool to be able to go back and learn a lot about it. And the music — Michelle, my character, is really into bands like the Smiths and the Cure and stuff like that, so I actually did get to learn a lot while doing this."
