TRUE BLOOD star Alexander Skarsgard is aiming to conquer the big screen, just as he has with the small with number of stand-out turns in recent and forthcoming features. After appearing in significant roles in last year’s STRAW DOGS remake and Lars Von Trier’s MELANCHOLIA, the Swedish-native will next be seen alongside Taylor Kitsch and Liam Neeson in Peter Berg’s alien-actioner BATTLESHIP.
News today has Skarsgard signing on for Warner Bros’ debut feature HIDDEN, which comes from their newly formed genre label Primal Pictures. He will headline the horror/thriller about a family, holed up in a bomb shelter after escaping an outbreak of a deadly disease. Twin brothers Matt and Ross Duffer will adapt their own screenplay, for a release expected late next year.
