Overview
- Wicker is now in general release and stars Olivia Colman as a fisherwoman and Alexander Skarsgård as a woven, basket-made husband in a feature directed by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson.
- New coverage focuses on Wētā Workshop’s 18-month research and build that produced separate facial appliances, roughly 50 body plates on a spandex base, harakeke eyelashes and minimal CGI to let Skarsgård’s performance show through.
- Colman and Skarsgård have described filming intimate scenes as collaborative and staged under an intimacy coordinator, with Colman saying the sequences felt less embarrassing and Skarsgård noting the wicker suit constrained his mobility.
- Reporters and critics continue to single out Colman’s performance as the film’s emotional core while debating the movie’s pacing and its satirical, sexually frank tone without revealing plot outcomes.
- The film’s viral trailer prompted distributor scheduling changes and has driven merchandising and ongoing public interest, with coverage emphasizing craft, on-set safety and practical-effects problem solving as the story’s defining strands.
