Mmm...Si, Alex – Give It

That Swede with the Skars-gaze I heart so hard much, Alexander Skarsgård, is looking to play (in) The Giver.

The actor is deep in discussion with the powers that be about joining Jeff Bridges and Meryl Streep in the Philip Noyce-directed dystopian fantasy about a future in which society fears freedom and all trace of human history has been erased, emotions aren’t a thing, and citizens’ paths are pre-chosen for ’em.

Lazy cows.

Skarsgård – whose What Maisie Knew I’ll be watching this weekend – would play the father of Jonas (Brenton Thwaites), a boy known in his community as the Receiver of Memories and the catalyst for a revolution.

Production on The Giver is set to kick off in South Africa this fall.
