Bill Skarsgård: It's not supposed to look sexy!

When Bill Skarsgård shot Season 2 of "Hemlock Grove" he only had one goal - his vampirecharacter shouldn't be like the attractive/desirable "Twilight vampires", I don't want it to look sexy being bitten by me, he says.

Just in time for summer vacation Netflix releases season 2 of the dark dramaseries "Hemlock Grove", produced by the master of horror himself, Eli Roth. The trailer reveals that there will be more gore and blood than before. It's more graphic in season 2 and you get to see the werewolf transformation with Landon Liboiron in a new way. It looks much more uncomfortable this time, he pulls off his own skin among other things, says Bill Skarsgård, 23. His own character the vampire Roman Godfrey gets his own share of blood. For my part it was important that Roman's attacks should look more graphic. I don't want it to look sexy being bitten by him, he says and continues: - Due to "Twilight" and other movies lately there's been a romanticization of being bitten by a vampire. I hope that no one wants to be bitten by Roman, it should look brutal, it should look as if the main artery is torn and blood gushes out. The trailer also shows Bill Skarsgård's character eating leeches from the chest of an older man. - The leeches I ate were made of jelly. I didn't think the leechthing was gross, but I worried about getting chest hairs from the man when I tore off the leeches. I would have found that really disgusting. But it went well. Bill Skarsgård tells us that he awaits accepting other parts/roles until he knows if there will be another season of "Hemlock grove". It would be fun to shoot a third season. I've had some offers for other things but it depends on what happen with the series.

Age: 24, Family: Mom My, siblings Alexander, Gustaf, Sam, Eija and Valter. Dad Stellan and his wife Megan Everett and their two sons.
 
Bill has been cast in the movie Emperor as Phillip II of Spain. Other people cast are Adrien Brody and Rutger Hauer. I'm thinking it's a European production? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2378179/?ref_=nm_flmg_act_1

Also the last season of Hemloch Grove will come out in 2015 :smile1:

At some point he's been home in Stockholm - he went to the circus with Stellan and Ossian (?). I saw a pic in Svensk Damtidning :shame:

It is a Belgian and Czech production. They started shooting in the Czech Republic yesterday. Presumably Prague.
We've fulfilled our German quota with Kretschmann and Otto. :p

:p

I wonder how big it'll be. Some good names on the cast. I hope it'll do well for him. Also he's lucky that he won't have too many seasons of a tv show to deal with. Unlike some others.
 
I know it's a little O/T but a photo from the event - without Bill, I guess he didn't feel like posing for pics with all the other children (it was a children's event) :cool: Ossian has the Skarsgård steeze down already :D

Adrien Brody and Rutger Hauer? Maybe a few years ago this would be exciting. Sounds straight to DVD to me.


I really tried to watch Hemlock Grove this year. Still struggling to get through the second episode.


Ossian is so cute. He looks just like his Mom.
 
:p

Well, LvT is casting soon for his new project so maybe Bill has a chance there though I'd rather see Gustaf in it.

Stellan was in Venice yesterday. He looked really good.
