Movie fans have yet another reason to get excited about this year’s Tribeca Film Festival: yes, ladies and gents, the festival will pick up where Calvin Klein underwear left off in showcasing Kellan Lutz’s shirtless body. Kellan’s new film “Meskada” (premiering on April 22) has a dark crime-related premise, but what most young female fans will be interested in is the bedroom scene when Kellan considers the after life, while semi-naked.
“You ever think about what’s after … life?” Kellan ponders, posing the loaded Q to a female friend (Grace Gummer) suffering from reoccurring zombie dreams (no seriously, she is). But more important than Kellan’s consideration of life’s larger mysteries is that he manages to deliver ALL his lines in the scene without moving his neck. Hopefully he wasn’t suffering from one of those awful cricks, and if so, he has since recovered.
SEE OUR EXCLUSIVE CLIP AFTER THE JUMP!
Kellan plays small-town detective Noah Cordin, who’s trying to solve the murder of a boy in a highbrow idyllic town called Hilliard. Noah has a lot on his plate, seeing as how the killers left him zero clues at the crime scene, excepting a scrap of paper related to Noah’s hometown, Caswell. Noah returns to the town, as the case becomes harder and harder to solve; Caswell’s economic troubles simultaneously worsen, and the two towns – Hilliard and Caswell – grow increasingly strained.
You’ll have to see “Meskada” yourself to experience the film’s interesting climax, but until then hold yourself over with Kellan’s pensive side with our exclusive “Meskada” sneak peak. Find out if Noah Cordin can pull it together and crack the case at this year’s Tribeca Film Festival.
