Alexander Skarsgard gets the lead in thriller Hidden for Warner Bros.

I may not be interested in BATTLESHIP, but I am still interested in Alexander Skarsgard.

Warner Brothers seem to be interested in him as well since they decided to cast him as the lead in the horror thriller, HIDDEN.

The film which will be directed by Matt and Ross Duffer focuses on, “a family hiding in a bomb shelter after escaping a mysterious outbreak.” The twin brothers sold the spec script to the WB last year.

HIDDEN is set to start production rather quickly.

I’d really like to see Skarsgard breakout, but filming TRUE BLOOD has restricted his schedule quite a bit. Don’t know if this is a step in the right direction though. Whether it is or not, I still have TRUE BLOOD.
