He is such a gorgeous man that patterned clothes do him no justice. I really wish that the interviewers would stop always going over his back story. I think the world knows it by now. The only thing new was the '81 Cadillac Eldorado.

He's normally so monochromatic with his everyday attire that usually I don't mind them going with patterns for photo shoots. But the patterned shirt they used for this one isn't flattering. Luckily they removed it for one of the photos with the coat. :graucho:

As for repeating the back story, I knew that a lot of the LOT promo would do this, since this was introducing him to a much larger audience, one that probably wasn't familiar with it. But this appears to have been done at the end of the LOT promo, and I don't think there was a need for it.

Thanks, Buckeye & Esizzle!

New project for Alex:

Nat Wolff & Alexander Skarsgård Join Feature Adaptation Of War Doc ‘The Kill Team’

Nat Wolff and Alexander Skarsgård are set to star in a feature film adaptation of Dan Krauss’ war documentary The Kill Team.

The film tracks the story of Private Adam Winfield, a soldier in Afghanistan who attempted to blow the whistle on members of his platoon who carry out a murderous scheme in the desolate wasteland of Southern Afghanistan. Wolff, who starred in The Fault of Our Stars, is set to play Winfield with Skarsgård, who was recently seen in The Legend of Tarzan, playing the fraternal and imposing Sergeant Deeks.

Krauss will write and direct this version of his documentary, which is currently in pre-production.

Marty Bowen and Wyck Godfrey will produce for Temple Hill Entertainment while Cornerstone Films will oversee international sales and distribution and will introduce the project to buyers at AFM. UTA and CAA will jointly rep North American rights.

“When we first saw Dan Krauss’ documentary, we were shocked by this story and blown away by his direction,” said Bowen and Godfrey in a statement. “His film’s scope and tension, combined with these morally ambivalent characters, made it irresistible to watch.”

Cornerstone’s Alison Thompson and Mark Gooder said: “We were spellbound by Dan Krauss’ script and vision for the retelling of this true story about a young man’s courage to speak the truth which in doing so, put his own life at risk.”

Wolff and Skarsgård are repped by CAA. Wolff is also repped by Untitled Entertainment.

Sounds like a really good project, but I selfishly don't want him to play a bad guy for awhile.

Looking at this case I have some memory of it being in the news. It looks like the character he's playing, Deeks, is based on Sgt. Calvin Gibbs.
Gibbs makes Perry Wright from BLL look nice and cuddly. It's pretty brutal stuff, so be warned if you don't want to look/read skip the Wiki link:

I wonder when filming starts on this, before The Aftermath? After? Looks like he's going to have a very next few moths.

I think Aftermath is filming in early next year? And this new movie is still in pre-production right now. I think Aftermath will film first and then this movie in late spring/early summer next year.

Alex has some good projects coming up. Big little lies, Mute, The Aftermath and now tThe kill team!! His career is looking up right now!!!

Thanks for all the good info. I like when he plays a baddie, but would love a warm cuddly movie somewhere in there. Somehow I doubt if I'll get that though. I do admire his choices creative-wise.

I think that's probably how it'll be, The Aftermath and then Kill Team.

It would be a nice change of pace. I do wonder if he's not getting those type of scripts or he is and they're just not that interesting so he picks the ones that do interest him, like playing Deeks. Who's sort of a Brad Colbert as sociopath character.
He's going to be very busy the next few months.

I think he's picking these roles because they're more interesting to him. He probably gets plenty of warm fuzzy roles, but the movie or the role feels tepid to him.

Stellan usually takes challenging roles with flawed or nasty characters.
