Alexander Skarsgård Talks Transforming for 'Wicker' Alongside Olivia Colman
Skarsgård said the film used practical effects and little CGI to create his wicker character as the R-rated comedy now plays in theaters.
- 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."
- Co-Stars Colman, 52, and Skarsgard, 50, began filming intimate scenes just two or three days into production. Colman noted humor—including a bed-breaking incident—kept the scenes from feeling awkward and more like "real life, I think."
- Skarsgard told ABC News he was "overwhelmed" by the trailer's reception when it debuted in July. He stated, "People really respond to this world that our writer-directors had created," highlighting the indie film's unique appeal.
- 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.
