There seems to be no member of the Skarsgård family who is afraid to make themselves unrecognizable for a role. Stellan Skarsgård Baron Harkonnen Like Bill Skarsgård, he still has many nightmares Pennywise and his Nosferatu. But Alexander Skarsgård, who recently turned himself into the main character Murderbotthere’s a surprisingly sexy addition to the list: a man woven from rattan to attract Olivia Colman’s character. Wicker.
the first trailer for Wicker Following its well-received world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year, it’s here, and it looks cute, funny, and a little dirty.
Wicker It seems that the creator brings new context to a relatively familiar story: a lonely outsider finds love, and everyone who is used to seeing him as an object of ridicule can’t bear to see him happy. Of course, this particular explanation of his has some magical elements.
“A boldly comedic tale of sex, marriage and the absurdities of social convention, Wicker It tells the completely original love story of a fisherwoman (Olivia Colman) who is commissioned by a local basket maker (Peter Dinklage) to sew her husband,” reads the official synopsis. Jealousy, infatuation and upheaval that threaten the very fabric of village life.”
The press release reveals that Skarsgård’s braiding ability was achieved entirely through the use of practical effects, which makes it all the more impressive. Wicker Directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson (Save yourself!) and based on Ursula Wiles’ short story “The Wicker Husband”.
Wicker It opens in limited theaters on October 23rd, opening nationwide on October 30th.
