Ever since True Blood started, Alexander Skarsgard has seemed on the cusp of major stardom, and he’ll be hoping the movie Hidden helps his rise, as Variety reports he’s just signed up for the film from directors Ross Duffer and Matt Duffer.
The movie is about a family that retreats to a bomb shelter to hide from a mysterious outbreak of something. It isn’t known exactly who Skarsgard will play, but presumably he’ll be in shelter. Ross Duffer and Matt Duffer sold their screenplay – which landed on the 2011 Black List – to Warner Bros. last year in a highly competitive bidding situation.
No production schedule was given, although it is said that the filmmakers’ deals included progress-to-production language, meaning the Warner needs to start production sooner rather than later.
