The star-studded Los Angeles premiere of Wicker took place at the DGA Theater, featuring a dazzling array of cast members including Olivia Colman, Alexander Skarsgård, and Elizabeth Debicki. The event brought together producers such as Tim Headington, Justin Lothrop, Eleanor Wilson, Alex Huston Fischer, and Brad Zimmerman.
Wicker, directed and written by Alex Huston Fischer and Eleanor Wilson, is inspired by the short story “The Wicker Husband” by Ursula Wills. It is set to hit U.S. theaters on October 23.
The film offers a bold comedic exploration of themes like love, marriage, and societal norms. It follows the story of a marginalized fisherwoman, portrayed by Olivia Colman, who crafts a husband with the help of a local basketmaker played by Peter Dinklage. The wicker husband, played by Alexander Skarsgård, exceeds her expectations, unleashing an array of emotions—jealousy, intrigue, and turmoil—that could jeopardize the harmony of their village.
The film exemplifies exceptional craftsmanship, showcasing stunning cinematography by Lol Crawley (The Brutalist), production design by Renátó Cseh (Poor Things), unique costumes by Tóth András Dániel and Attila Godena-Juhász, and a captivating score by Anna Meredith (Eighth Grade). Notably, Skarsgård’s character comes to life through a remarkable practical suit designed by Joe Dunckley and the renowned Wētā Workshop, known for their work on Avatar and The Lord of the Rings.
Producers include an impressive lineup featuring Ed Sinclair, Tom Carver, Olivia Colman, Justin Lothrop, Brent Stiefel, Brad Zimmerman, David Michod, Andrea Cornwell, Oliver Kassman, Tim Headington, Lia Buman, Ryan Heller, and Michael Bloom.
