Everything about the upcoming movie Battleship is big. Big stars. Big budget. Big explosions.
But Alexander Skarsgard says that it's really a small art house movie ... "in a way," thanks to director Peter Berg.
"I knew that he's a guy that could definitely do something that's big, epic — but! — with real characters and real relationships," Alex tells Moviefone.
"We actually care about these guys. You root for them; you want them to make it. I wouldn't want to be in something big and epic just because it's big and epic."
And despite the fact that it's a megabazillion-budget movie, the studio didn't interfere with their work.
"We were so free. And this is my first big studio movie and I didn't know. I was like, 'How is it with Universal? Do they micromanage you? If you want to change one word, do you have to get approval from 25 executives?'" Alex recalls.
"And Pete was like, 'No. Creatively, they trust me and they'll let me do this. If you have ideas, tell me and we'll have fun with it.'"
And when Alex has fun ... doesn't everybody?
