Alexander Skarsgard and his viral 'Wicker' transformation
- Directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, Wicker arrives in theaters today, Oct. 23, featuring Olivia Colman as a fisherwoman and Alexander Skarsgard as her wicker husband.
- Alexander Skarsgard's wicker character was created with prosthetics by a team at Workshop rather than CGI. The actor had two weeks before filming to practice with the mask, which he called an "extraordinary moment."

- Based on Ursula Wills-Jones's 2008 short story, the film serves as social commentary on love and relationships. Colman described the production as a "handcrafted film" exploring the "whole gamut of human emotions.
