Check out these stills of a shirtless Alexander Skarsgard in his upcoming film Straw Dogs.

Synopsis: L.A. screenwriter David Sumner (James Marsden) relocates with his wife (Kate Bosworth) to her hometown in the deep South. There, while tensions build between them, a brewing conflict with locals (Skarsgard and others) becomes a threat to them both.

Also pictured inside: The just released poster for the film!

Straw Dogs will be released into theaters everywhere on September 16.

Well…..Good Morning to me! :) Definetly a nice sight to wake up to!

It is disappointing that they are showing little to nothing of James Woods in this. Straw Dogs will mark his only return to the big screen since An American Carol (2008). I wish he would do more mainstream movies like he used to.
Anni

Well what a nice day with those pics ;)

Still can’t believe Kate Bosworth would hop into bed with the guy who played her rapist right away. The thought of rape, even a pretend one makes most of us cringe and sick to our stomaches. Nice looking or not I couldn’t have him touch me so soon after that. Lurie said she was a wreck after those scenes but not enough to keep her”rapist’s” bed. Maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad if it had been a year later . I just can’t watch that movie without thinking of those two actually dating. Gross.
Annie2

I think Kate looks healthy and pretty in those pictures. What happened, kate?
There are no news here, just Alex pixs… like Askarstrash says “he loves to be naked, goddamit!” XD
Annie2

@BosYuck I agree with you, but what about Alexander jumping to bed with the woman he pretended to rape?
I find it gross, gross. Both.
BosYuck

@Annie2:

Probably more of guilt thing on his part.
Mia

Well HEL-LO Mr. Yummy! Such a nice way to brighten up my morning. Sexy to the nth degree! Or as book-Sookie would probably say: hotter than the six shades of hell!!!!! :-)

Mother of god! Girls, we are all very lucky that this boy tried to be known outside of Sweden, cause if he didn’t, we wouldn’t know him and life would be a bit boring without this gorgeous boy! Since I know him I wanna go to Sweden, that country must have more hot boys, but Alex is the one.

Wow, I know I’ve seen all of these before but I never get tired of looking at that gorgeous body and face of his! Sweden has been kind to us. Big thanks to the Skarsgard parents for their good gene pool!

Shirtless is nice, but I do love his hands as well:

@Tucker: Woods is a great actor. I just saw him in HBO’s “Too Big to Fail” which is a really fabulous movie about the economic near collapse of 2008. James Woods plays the head of Lehman Bros. and does his usual excellent job, and the rest of the cast is also A+ across the board, plus a great script. HBO is still replaying it and it also might be available for you on demand. enjoy.

@ladybug: I have yet to find a part of him I don’t love LOL and thanks for the link to more photos
Camille

@ladybug:
I love his hands too. They’re so big and nicely shaped. I know that sounds weird, but some people have gross hands. LOL! I love him in that big knit cardigan.
Mia

@ladybug: What’s not to love, right? Thanks for the pictures. I could stare at this man all day long. I probably would if I had the time LOL!

Has anybody heard any more about Alex possibly filming in Nashville this fall?
Zola24

As usual Alex looks totally hot, desirable, and sexy but I have no wish to view this movie.
Camille

@Mia:
Nothing yet except for the maybe from Skarsgard News. I wonder if that wasn’t was he was signing with the lawyer when he first got to NYC and maybe they’re just hashing out the final details.
Mia

Thumbs down for my comment at #21? Huh?
Camille

@Mia:
Someone has done it to all the comments. Some immature person never gets tired of this. It’s been happening to certain posters for like 2 months now.
Mia

@Camille: Thanks, Camille. I really hope he’s coming. Would be soooo close!!!!!! I think he would enjoy Nashville. It really is the big city with the small town feel.
Camille

@Mia:
It would be nice if he could get something else in before TB starts again at the end of Nov or beginning of Dec. If he finished Maisie close to the end of Sept, he could get another project in, even if it took 6-8 weeks to film if there wasn’t a big lag in between films.
Mia

@Camille: I am keeping my fingers crossed ;-) Would be nice to catch a glimpse of him in the flesh. He seems so down to earth.
Lilla

He’s even more beautiful in person, and very funny.

@Lilla: #29 I don’t doubt that one bit. Aren’t you the one from Sweden?
Lilla

Yes I am! But, I’m in the states now for work. I just left Stockholm a few days ago.
Mia

@Lilla: Welcome to the U.S. Lilla! Hope it’s not all work and you get to enjoy your stay.
Camille

I’m not sure I’d be able to make a coherent sentence if faced with his beauty in person. LOL
Mia

@Camille: # 34 Girlfriend, you and I both! Will have to work on keeping my cool if I ever get to meet him. Wouldn’t want to look like a babbling idiot LOL!
randy

Darn and I was almost an extra in this movie!
chelle

Thumbs down nut back???
Mia

@chelle: #37 Hey neighbor :-) If he is going to be in Nashville, it probably won’t be until around October/November. Hope you’ll get your chance to meet him. I will certainly try in a non-stalking kind of way. If it’s meant to be it’ll happen :-)
Mia

Looks like some of the comments were deleted. It was 40 comments a few minutes ago and now it’s back to 38. Weird.
chelle

I doubt it. I just started my fellowship for trauma /critical care. Don’t think powers that be at hospital will go for that! It would be nice though……he looks like he needs an examination!
Camille

@Mia:
Well you probably have a better chance than me. Being where I’m from, nothing films anywhere close.

@chelle:
It would appear so, since a lot of the comments went down awhile ago. Never ends.
Camille

Alex’s cover for BlackBook. KB did one too and she’s wearing a tux just like him. Obviously this was before the break up announcement, though I believe he had a separate photo shoot. There were tweets about his, and if she had been there someone would have said I think. Though, I do wonder if they did pose together? That would be kind of weird, unless there was some photoshop magic.

@chelle: #40 I think lots of us would like to give him an examination :-) My mind is wandering again…*SIGH*
**************************************
Good luck with your fellowship and I hope you get to catch up on your sleep soon.

I bet the BlackBook cover will be JJ’s next Alex post…
BBook

KB wasn’t there, there were tweets from the guy that was going to interview him and the girl that styled him and there was nothing about KB. I am sure they did separate shoots. Why would they be doing it together when they both have individuals covers.
But they are in a movie together so they have to promote it so their names will be linked together till it comes out.
Lilla

@Mia, thanks! I spend about half of my time here and Sweden for work. It’s great to be back in the states.

I still get a little star struck when I see him and I’ve been watching him my whole life! He really is a nice guy though and just sooooo stunning to look at. He just keeps getting better looking.

I hope you get some rest Chelle.
Canuck

@Lilla: Very funny is a huge plus in my books. You might lose your looks over time, but a good sense of humour is usually permanent. Along with brains…

True Blood” star Alexander Skarsgard, who recently split with Kate Bosworth, dining with a brunette on the patio of Turtle Crossing American Bistro in East Hampton on grilled artichokes, pappardelle and beet salad.

Could be work related or his Swedish brunette friend payed a visit??
Mia

So Lilla, since you are a native Swede, I have to ask: Does “Pam” (KBvS) really sound like a Russian prostitute when she speaks Swedish on the show? She mentioned it a while ago in an interview that Alex told her she sounded that way and I thought it was hilarious.
