Alexander Skarsgård will be starring in Brandon Cronenberg’s Infinity Pool. The Swedish actor has gained a number of Possessor, the Andrea Riseborough-starring film which was praised for disturbing and timely observations about the world.
According to Variety, Skarsgård will be starring in Infinity Pool. There isn’t currently a lot of information about the production, but Variety reports that the studio behind Best Picture winner Parasite will executive produce. The official logline for the film teases a bumpy journey for Skarsgård and the cast: “James and Em are young, rich, in love, and on vacation. But outside of [their] hotel gates waits something much more dangerous and seductive, beyond the edge of paradise.”
Viewers will be happy to see the actor returning to sci-fi/horror after his famous role in True Blood. The actor had a triumphant turn in Godzilla vs. Kong recently, in the lead role of Monarch geologist Dr. Nathan Lind. With the Swedish actor pursuing more horror-adjacent roles, he should be assured that Infinity Pool is a step in the right direction. The Cronenbergs are notorious for their horror productions and Possessor ranks as a favorite amongst sci-fans.
