Bill Skarsgard: Last News

Bill Skarsgard has been beefing up in recent years and he’s looking so buff in the latest photos!

With his latest role, Bill Skarsgård had the task of delivering a terrified and tortured performance with no scene partner.

Rosemary Rossi What do you get when you lock a young criminal in a luxury sports utility vehicle that is booby trapped to punish its intruder, thanks to some twisted, sadistic planning by its wealthy, vengeful owner? Well, if those two characters are played by Bill Skarsgård and Anthony Hopkins, and the film is directed by David Yarovesky, you get a wild, claustrophobic ride with chaotic camera movement, jump scares and danger that escalates with every scene. All within the confines of an SUV.

You would not be crazy if you confused Steven Knight’s 2013 man-confined-in-a-car movie, Locke with director David Yarovesky’s new thriller, Locked, which has Bill Skarsgard trapped in a nightmare car with no way out. The former had Tom Hardy as a troubled guy named Locke watching his life unravel during a feature-length road trip. This one has Skarsgard as Eddie, a deadbeat but well-meaning dad to Sarah (Ashley Cartwright) and petty thief whose attempt to steal a luxury SUV turns into disaster because its unseen psycho vigilante owner named William (Anthony Hopkins) has rigged it so bad things happen. And there is no way out as he continues to pull the strings remotely in this motorized fortress as he carries on a conversation with the imprisoned Eddie.

Take “Locked” for a timely example: It’s about a thief who finds himself locked inside the car he’s trying to burglarize.

Jazz Tangcay Artisans Editor Bill Skarsgård’s transformation into the hideous-looking vampire Count Orlok for Robert Eggers’ “Nosferatu” was an arduous process — with the end goal of making the Swedish actor completely unrecognizable. “I was not so interested in Bill’s features, aside from his eyes,” Eggers says of Skarsgård. “The things that make [Orlock] not just an intimidating, masculine human being, is the fact that he’s also decaying and dead.
