OlderAlexander Skarsgard: 'Excited' to Work on 'Battleship'
Alexander Skarsgard will begin filming on his action flick Battleship starting next week in Hawaii!
The 34-year-old True Blood hunk was asked by MTV what he thinks about being in a film based on a board game. He said, “I don’t really think about that very much. It’s quite different from the board game, obviously. Pete is a great guy — the director, Peter Berg — and I’m just excited to start it, I really am.”
Alexander, who presented at the Emmys over the weekend, stars alongside Friday Night Lights‘ Taylor Kitsch, Rihanna, Brooklyn Decker in the film, which will be released into theaters on May 25, 2012!

Geez..Skarsgard..you must pay your publicist tons for all this boring press. Where’s your bald anorexic partner in crime? Your to hot for her and no one gives a damn about you when your with her. Ditch the witch. :D
I’m not too sure about the movie, I’ll wait to decide once I see the trailer.
its too soon to tell if its worth it or not but im sure more excited about melanholia
“I don’t really think about that very much. It’s quite different from the board game, obviously.” … SOUNDS TO ME LIKE HE’S A LITTLE BIT EMBARRASSED OF THE FACT THAT THE MOVIE IS BASED ON A STUPID BOARDGAME! LOL
@rock n roll queen: MELANHOLIA??? hahahaha. That sounds like a Beavis & Butthead movie. I think you mean MELANCHOLIA. Yeah, I think this movie’s gonna suck the big one.
I can’t believe Alex is already 34!!! Dayummmmm he’s old!
RIHANNA IS IN IT? BATTLESHIP=FAIL
I wonder what Alex is going to turn out like when he’s in his 50s or 60s??? I truly hope he doesn’t become one of those shallow D-bags that dumps his long-time wife and marries someone half his age who could be his own daughter! That’s what his dad, Stellan did. That would be so sad and disappointing. But then again, he might not even be in the public eye by the time he’s that age. Especially if he ages really badly and becomes very unattractive.
@34 Years Old: I know right? I can’t believe he’s 34! I’m only 24 and right now I’m in no rush to settle down but hopefully by the time I’m his age I’ll already be settled down and starting a family not wasting my time like Alex. He should be looking for his future wife not dating around anorexic no-talent c-listers like Bonesworthless.
With Rihanna and that Brooklyn swimsuit model girl this is sure to be a failure. They’re just turning it into one big joke. I really hope Alex can find a way out of this. But it might be too late if he already signed a contract!
@Alicia: I hope Alex looks NOTHING like his dad Stellan when he gets to that age. Stellan is really really not attractive. Everyone has said he has a mean German Nazi face. And I also think that he’s a jerk in real life.
@Tina: What I don’t get is why does he say in interviews how he would like to settle down and he can’t wait to have kids and in fact wants lots of them yet he’s wasting so much time with K BoHo. It’s not like he’s a young man in his 20s. He’s already mid 30s and not getting any younger.
This movie sounds like a joke with that cast. Did Askars really sign up for this knowing pop singer Rihanna & model Brooklyn Deker were going to be in it??? I refuse to believe he would be this stupid and reckless. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME HE DIDN’T KNOW THEY WERE GOING TO BE CAST! PLEASE!
It’s possible that Alex did know and he’s just so desperate to be the main star or 1 of the 2 main stars in a movie that he was blinded by his own ambition and made a terrible mistake. This tends to happen a lot with men, we get greedy and stupid. Just look at all the wars happening right now. Women are better in this regard because they’re able to use their head more.
@Stacey Potash: Isn’t it weird how Alex looks a little bit like Stellan yet Alex has such a sweet charming face and his dad has such a mean nasty face? It’s like so alike and yet so very different. THANK GOD FOR THAT! Lol
ur all putting down Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker but Taylor Kitsch isn’t exactly a critically acclaimed actor. he’s on Friday Night Lights which is a little teen show on NBC. even his name sounds fake. so basically the only real actor on the show is alex skarsgard.
Kinda expect KB showing up in Hawaii, that’s how she gets attention and publicity anyway. BTW, can Rihanna act? Just wondering…
Alex is too dang old to be making popcorn movies like “Battleship” which will supposedly be geared to teens and college students, especially with the cast it has now.
@Suzie: I agree, Suzie. I also think he’s “TOO DANG OLD” to be dating an insecure clingy 20-something-year-old girl with eating disorders who cares more about having the paps take her picture than actually making films. He needs to get himself a real woman with an established career. At 34, he’s a grown azz man not a boy.
To answer #17: She’s done some skits in SNL which wasn’t bad. Like ‘Shy Ronnie’ which you can find on Youtube. But these were just small funny skits not an entire movie. So it’s very different. Honestly, I don’t think she’ll be very good when it comes to making an actual film. She also has a noticeable Caribbean accent cuz she’s from Bermuda. So I really hope they don’t force her to play an American cuz nobody’s gonna buy that with her accent!! LOL
@Mike 69: “ur all putting down Rihanna and Brooklyn Decker but Taylor Kitsch isn’t exactly a critically acclaimed actor.” … I agree that Taylor Kitsch isn’t a very recognizable actor and he’s nothing special. Rihanna is a singer with little acting experience and Brooklyn is a bikini model!! Hahaha. WHAT A HORRIFIC CASTING JOB THEY DID ON THIS MOVIE.
Alex was stupid for taking this role because if the movie bombs (and with such a cast it prob will), it will fall mostly on his shoulders as the oldest, most recognizable, and most experienced actor in the cast. Film critics always put the blame on the main one. That kind of failure would be detrimental to his career. Where the heck are his agent, manager and so-called “talented” father to advise him?!!
@Responsibility falls on him: Dear old daddy is too busy banging young women that are his children’s own age! Stellan’s new gold-digging wife is actually right around Alex’s age! Talk about an F-UP dysfunctional family. I wonder if Alex sees her as a sister or stepmother?? Hahahaha
I think the fact that Stellan wasn’t even around for most of Alex’s childhood b/c he was too busy with his career is where the f.u.h.k.e.d. up dysfunctionality started. Now let’s hope that the old goat doesn’t die soon so that Alex isn’t plagued with the responsibility of having to take care of an infant little brother. B/c I think Stellan’s already like 60 years old!
I don’t know who’s gonna suck more: Brooklyn, Rihanna, or Taylor Kitsch? It’s a toughie.
