Alexander 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!
