Olivia Colman & Alexander Skarsgård Discuss Their Roles in ‘Wicker’
Skarsgård and Colman have discussed their roles in the film, and there is a lot of excitement surrounding it. “I’ve never read anything like it before. It’s in my top three scripts that I’ve loved and I’ve done,” she told Variety in an article published on September 29. “It’s beautiful, funny and original. And yes, the only way you can sell it is by having a picture of Alex as a very sexy basket.”
The film is adapted from the book “The Wicker Husband” by Ursula Wills-Jones and directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson. Skarsgård also shared his thoughts on the role, which transformed his appearance. His woven body was created by Wētā Workshop, Variety reports.
“To be honest, I found it terrifying. I feel way more comfortable playing dark, twisted, demented characters,” he said. “This was a departure, and yeah, I was confused in the beginning about how to approach this. He’s so sweet, so tender and caring, and all those things that I can’t relate to personally.”
The experience of the film was so different for Colman, but it brought her closer to Skarsgård. “I’ve never done it before, but we’re in that magical world where we’re just talking to each other,” she said. “We got on very well, and giggled a lot. It was lovely to play those two people. Well, one person and a basket.”
The film will be released on October 23, and fans are already sharing their excitement online.
