'True Blood's' Alexander Skarsgard to star in 'Battleship' Alexander Skarsgard is going from vampires to naval board games.
The “True Blood” star has signed to star opposite Taylor Kitsch in “Battleship,” Universal’s sci-fi tentpole adaptation of the Hasbro game.
Peter Berg (“Hancock”) is directing the action-adventure movie, which adds an “alien invasion” element to the screen story. The script, by Jon and Erich Hoeber, revolves around an international fleet coming together to battle a water-bound armada of otherworldly origin.
Skarsgard will play Kitsch’s brother, a straight and narrow naval officer whom Kitsch, a wildly spirited naval officer, idolizes.
Hahahah. OH, ASKARS! I am going to watch the shit out of this! And read all the 'cesty fic that people will be writing for it. FRIDAY NIGHT TRUE BLOOD! <----Feel free to steal that for your fics, ya'll. I know that ASkars likes to make ~arty~ films but I prefer crappy action movies to rapey remakes, thanks!
