May 3rd, 2013 5:24pm EDT
Alexander Skarsgard
Swedish actor Alexander Skarsgard has denied reports he is set to star in a remake of cult classic The Crow.

Rumors began swirling earlier this week suggesting the True Blood star was in the mix for the lead role of Eric Draven, who returns from the dead to track down thugs who killed his fiancee, in a re-imagining of the 1994 thriller.

Speculation began after British actor Tom Hiddleston distanced himself from the part, clearing the path for Skarsgard who was reportedly interested in the movie, but he has since denied any involvement in the project.

Speaking at a press event for his ...

Actor Alexander Skarsgard is in talks with movie bosses to reprise his Zoolander role in the planned sequel despite his character's death in the first film.

The True Blood star played male model Meekus, who was killed in a freak gasoline accident, in the 2001 comedy, and he is desperate to return for the follow-up - in any form.

He tells Britain's GQ magazine, "I'm pitching it right now. I wouldn't want to miss that. Well, I'm hoping they would do something like the scene with Hamlet's father, and that Meekus will come back as a ghost - I mean, he's definitely dead."

Stephen Moyer Is Open To Angry Vampire Sex With 'True Blood' Co-Star Alexander Skarsgard

July 13th, 2012 11:36am EDT
True Blood
Remember last season when Sookie fantasized about a threesome with vampires Eric and Bill on "True Blood?" Well, that fantasy could have been much, much steamier.

Stephen Moyer, who plays Bill, told The Advocate he has definitely thought about the two vampires getting down in dirty in bed: "I’ve been asking myself that question for a long time. Alex (Skarsgard) and I would absolutely embrace that. Last year, when Sookie had her fantasy about the two of them with her, we even suggested it. Of course, Bill and Eric together isn’t necessarily Sookie’s fantasy."

Off screen, Moyer and Anna Paq...

Review 'Battleship': Stick With The Board Game And Skip The Movie

May 17th, 2012 11:30am EDT
Battleship
'Battleship' directed by Peter Berg (Hancock) has a poorly constructed script, ridiculous dialogue, cardboard characters and it's really, really loud.

It does have bad ass aliens and some exciting visual effects but that is not enough to save this $200,000,000 fiasco.

When the film opens, we find out that a group of scientists in Hawaii have sent out a signal to Planet G whose atmosphere is similar to ours. They must have been thinking, "wow another planet we get to ruin." Anyway, to the scientist's surprise their signal is heard.

That's right folks...The extra terrestrials are coming ...

True Blood
Get ready for a bloody good time this summer as the season premiere of HBO's True Blood kicks off June 10. Beware, the new trailer seems to have a spoiler or two in it, so if you're one of those "I don't want to know" people, you've been warned.

Judging from this new trailer, it looks like the underground Vampire Authority is pissed as human-vampire relations have broken down. We also get a glimpse of Chris Meloni in action and as usual Sookie (Anna Paquin) seems to be in the thick of it all.

Watch the trailer.

Skarsgård recognizes that even "True Blood," considered envelope-pushing in America, remains "very tame, by Swedish standards." He tells OUT "...that always strikes me as weird because parents in the States freak out if their kids see a nipple or a butt cheek, but, at the same time, they’re OK with their kids ...

Two Jews on Film - By Joan Alperin Schwartz - You are a Hollywood screenwriter. You have a hot wife and a hot Jag. You move to your wife's hometown in the Deep South after her father's death. It's filled with God fearing, Bambi killing, football addicted, good ole Southern boys. Do you really think you'll live happily ever after?

David Sumner (James Marsden) and his actress wife Amy (Kate Bosworth) move to her father's house so David can get some quiet and solitude to complete the World War 2 screenplay he's working on. But all is not as bucolic as it seems in Blackwater, Mississippi.....

Kate Bosworth
Kate Bosworth talks about ex-boyfriend Alexander Skarsgard in a new interview. Why does she think he's terrifying?

Kate Bosworth might not be with Alexander Skarsgard anymore, but that hasn’t stopped her from talking about him. The duo -- who met on the set of the upcoming film Straw Dogs -- had quite the harrowing scene together during the film.

In Straw Dogs, Skarsgard plays a violent local boy in Bosworth’s home town in the deep south. The violence comes to a head when his posse attacks the home of Bosworth’s character and he sexually assaults her.

Naturally, it wasn’t an easy scene f...

Alexander Skarsgard will soon be online.

The "True Blood" hunk hits the information superhighway as he joins the cast of "Disconnect," an indie drama about the many dangers of the Internet, according to Variety.

"Disconnect" sounds like a variation on "Crash" (the one that was nominated for a lot of Oscars, not the one that was actually good) as it follows a group of interconnected characters who are affected -- and in some cases destroyed -- by the Internet and other forms of modern communication.

Skarsgard will play a former Marine who's struggling to make ends meet and is emotionally...

Rihanna Went To Boot Camp For 'Battleship' Role

Rihanna
Singer Rihanna was forced to undergo grueling boot camp sessions to prepare for her debut acting role in Battleship.

The Umbrella hit-maker plays a tough cadet in the film, based on the game of the same name, and trained for the movie by running around a ship, swimming and weightlifting.

However, Rihanna relished her demanding work-outs - because they made her feel ready to portray a sailor.

She tells Fandango.com, "One man drilled me, yelled at me, cursed me out, made me do push-ups... My best friend was there and I told her, 'I'm about to do acting class. You're gonna want to kill t...

We spotted a newly single Kate Bosworth with turquoise tips on her blonde hair yesterday. She was leaving UCLA with a friend after watching Coldplay perform in Westwood, Calif.

We love it when celebs get creative with their hair (see Rihanna and Katy Perry), but Kate didn't get it quite right. What do you think?

Perhaps she's just having fun being single? The actress and "True Blood" star Alexander Skarsgaard recently called it quits after two years together.

First Trailer For Next Summer's 'Battleship' Surfaces (Watch It!)

July 27th, 2011 6:36pm EDT
Battleship
The first trailer for Battleship has officially been released, and it looks... familiar? The film is based on the classic Hasbro game you played back when you were a kid, however that seems to be the only thing the movie and its inspiration have in common.

Call us crazy, but on first impression the film looks like the love-child of Armageddon and Independence Day, with a little bit of The Abyss thrown in for good measure.

Cocky kid works for the father of the girl he likes? Check. Father doesn't want him anywhere near his daughter? Check. Astronomical anomaly occurs, forcing them to put a...

James Cameron has criticized Hollywood's love affair with franchises, citing the upcoming Battleship movie as an example of the "ridiculous" lengths producers will go to score a box office hit.

Liam Neeson, Alexander Skarsgard and Rihanna are set to star in the big screen re-imagining of the popular board game, but Avatar director Cameron is horrified by the idea of turning a toy into a film.

The Terminator creator insists moviemakers should be allowed to pursue more original concepts, rather than relying on old stories and well-worn ideas.

He tells Germany's Spiegel Online, "We have a...
