Total Film has made a list of the thirty TV Actors Who Should Do Movies. Alexander Skarsgård came in as #4 and Rutina Wesley was #27 on their list and below is what they had to say:

Alexander Skarsgård #4

The Actor: Saucy Scandinavian with a penchant for stripping down to his smalls (and then some) in TV’s so-sexy-its-almost-radioactive (or something) True Blood. As Nordic Eric, Skarsgård steals every scene with his brooding, hurt-puppy face-pulling – will he ever get his mitts on Sookie?

Ideal Project: Skarsgård’s already lined up an appearance in Peter Berg’s Battleship redux (yes, the boardgame), and he likes to hop back to the hemland once in a while for bit parts in Swedish flicks, but we want more from/for the smouldering Swede.

He missed out on the opportunity to play Thor, but Skarsgård is perfect for the superhero mould. Perhaps a role in Chris Nolan’s third and final Batman? Yes, that would do nicely.

Rutina Wesley #27

The Actor: Basically unknown before True Blood sunk its fangs into her, Wesley plays Tara Thornton in the hit show – and spends much of her time sassing and sobbing. Prior to Blood, she pitched up in an episode of Numb3rs, has voiced a character in The Cleveland Show, and made her acting debut in 2007’s duff drama How She Move.

Ideal Project: Alan Ball has really put Wesley through the wringer on True Blood, giving her a mad-as-two-wasps-stuck-together mother, a doomed romance and all manner of vampire hell. So how about something a little lighter and brighter? Romcoms are below her, but a road trip comedy could do her a world of good.

Hollywood has taken notice of Alexander Skarsgård and signed him up for several upcoming projects, specifically “Battleship”, based on Hasbro’s board game, which he discusses in the video below:

“I don’t really think about that very much. It’s quite different from the board game, obviously,” he said with a smile. “Pete is a great guy — the director, Peter Berg — and I’m just excited to start it, I really am.” Skarsgård added that he flies to Hawaii this week to begin production.

Asked whether the film will feature any gratuitous shots of him and his co-stars running around battleships, looking pretty with big guns, Skarsgård was unsure. “I play a commander of one of the destroyers in the Navy, so, that’s a big gun,” he offered.

The topic of big guns brought up the current 3-D trend — will fans get their first three-dimensional look at Skarsgård in the flick? “No,” he said. “I don’t think so.”

“Battleship” is set for release May 25, 2012.

Skarsgårdnews.com has an interview with Alexander that has been translated from Swedish to English. Below is part of that interview:

The emigrant Alexander Skarsgård is back in the old home country. The success has been made over there and his return is triumphant. The media is hanging close to him when he visits a rock festival or walks around the old neighborhood in Södermalm with his famous Hollywood buddies

It had been several years of failure in film Sweden when he sought his future in the land in the West. He thought he’d been caught in the hunk role. The roles he was offered meant being a young, good looking sexy guy. And the movies were just too bad.

It took a couple of years of hard work before Alexander Skarsgård found his gold – the roles in the two TV-series Generation Kill and True Blood. They have together built his star status.

But if he fled the role of the young Swedish teenage hunk he jumped out of the frying-pan into the fire. Now Alexander Skarsgård is seen as the most vital of the alpha males in the entire Hollywood cage.

When he sees us for an interview in a bar in Stockholm his schedule is tight and the waiting is as intensive as it usually is for an American actor visitor.

The reason for his visit is Johan Kling’s new movie Puss, but the question is if he would have been on Swedish territory if he hadn’t been filming Lars von Trier’s Melancholia in Trollhättan with a bunch of international actors not the least his dad Stellan in one of the parts.

Melancholia takes place in a time when the earth as a planet is about to be destroyed. Alexander Skarsgård doesn’t want to say too much about the plot. But he says no one is about to count on an action movie with an apocalypse theme because Lars von Trier is directing.

“It has been a pleasure filming with von Trier. He just keeps moving on. He’s so open, and not afraid to let go of everything and let things happen.”

What do you mean?
” Just imagine a scene where Kirsten Dunst and I are going to climb out of a limousine. It’s a fairly complicated scene which can be made in many different ways. In Hollywood it would have been planned into every little detail. I ask “What side of the car do you want us to get out of the car?” “I don’t know” he answers. “Do whatever you feel like and we’ll see if it works.”

“There’s a freedom and playfulness. Yet there is no chaos. And he’s sharp as a blade in his comments. As an actor you feel completely confident that it will work even though you have no idea how the end result of the movie will turn out.”

“And I’m definitely not playing an alpha male this time.”
