Alexander Skarsgård is not a short king
Editorial Director/Box Office Editor
A24 has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Element Pictures' gritty romance comedy Pillion, starring Harry Melling and Emmy and Golden Globe winner Alexander Skarsgård.
The debut film from BAFTA-nominated writer-director Harry Lighton (Wren Boys) follows an impossibly handsome biker gang leader and the wallflower he takes in as his underling. Production wrapped this summer. The screenplay was developed with BBC Film and is based on Box Hill by Adam Mars-Jones, the 2019 Nobel Prize winner for Fitzcarraldo Editions.
