Mary-Kate Olsen to Star in New Film

Today, it was announced that the indie film Meskada will begin production on June 8th in Catskill, New York. Listed among the cast members? Our very own Mary-Kate Olsen!

Meskada follows Noah Cordin, a small town detective, who is attempting to solve a juvenile homicide that happened during a home burglary. The town rallies around the family of the deceased, but as the investigation reveals more and more truths about the town and it’s inhabitants, it becomes unclear as to who the victims are.

Also on the cast list are Penn Badgley of Gossip Girl; Kellan Lutz, who plays Emmett Cullen in the Twilight movies; Vincent D’Onofrio from Law & Order: Criminal Intent; and Cynthia Nixon of Sex and the City.. The film is being backed by Aliquot Films, it will be the company’s second project. Their first was the acclaimed film Knucklehead.

Josh Sternfeld wrote and will direct the film. Josh is a relatively unknown writer and director, with his best known work being 2004′s Winter Solstice.

It sounds like an exciting and interesting project with a hip and stellar cast. I have no idea what sort of role MK has in the project, but I’m hoping more details are leaked soon!

They’re still looking for extras, if you’re in the New York area and ever wanted to be in a film with MK! All the details are here. They can’t pay you, but it would be an awesome experience!
