Puss films on Gotland.
First it was, then it wasn’t, now it is again.
Scenes for the movie Puss will be filmed on Gotland for four weeks in the middle of August this year. The particular scenes in Gotland were originally scheduled to be filmed in 2008 but got delayed when director Johan Kling (Darling) decided to push the project up, at the time, indefinitely. It is unclear if Skarsgård is in any of the scenes that will be shot on Gotland, but the rescheduling of Kustateljén was reported in April and is probably unlikely to change again. Mainly because it will be demolished by the end of the year. Other scenes for the movie have been filmed during the spring, and the film will be distributed by Nordisk Film AB in Europe probably some time during 2010.
Quick facts: The original title of the movie was Trust Me, but it was later changed to Puss which means ‘Kiss’ in Swedish. It will star Alexander Skarsgård and his younger brother Gustaf Skarsgård in the same film together since: well, ever. It’s going to be interesting to see the dynamic between them on screen (if they even have any scenes together, hmm). Their characters have been described as perplexingly different from eachother which probably fits the style of film director Johan Kling wants to create very well. (I am kind of sad that he’s playing another 08-bastard though.) It’s an ensamble cast (which basically means that every actor has a part of equal or similar importance) of ten actors, and it’s set to take place during the course of 48H. The entire movie, however, will according to SFI (Swedish Film Institute) only last 150 minutes, and for the mathematician genious’ out there that means a ratio of 15 minutes of dominant screen time of Alexander. (Ha ha, that last part was totally unecessary, but I have to amuse myself. That’s just the way it is.) The movies main storyline is supposed to be about a group of women running a theatre and their relationships with the men in their lives. It has recieved a contribution of 7 million SEK (swedish currency) from SFI.
