Alexander Skarsgard’s ‘Wicker’ Gets Immersive With 4DX Screening Event

Looking to immerse yourself in the wicker husband? Now you can. Black Bear, the production company behind Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer’s Wicker, revealed Wednesday that the romantic fantasy will be screening in 4DX for a one-night-only event on Oct. 28. This came after the film became a viral sensation with fans who believe it will be a raunchy experience and campaigned for it to play in the immersive format that incorporates synchronized environmental and physical effects, including motion, vibration, water and scents. “From the moment the trailer landed, audiences understood that Wicker could be something different, and they started asking to experience it in 4DX,” David Spitz, head of U.S. theatrical distribution for Black Bear, wrote in a statement. “What’s particularly exciting is seeing this wholly original film connect with audiences who might not ordinarily see themselves in the audience for a film like this. 4DX gives us a chance to lean into everything that makes it special, while giving audiences exactly what they asked for.” Wicker, based on Ursula Wills’ short story The Wicker Husband, follows a fisherwoman (Olivia Colman) who commissions the local basketmaker (Peter Dinklage) to weave her a husband (Alexander Skarsgård). However, when the quiet village realizes he’s the man of any woman’s dreams, his presence sparks jealousy and chaos. Following Wednesday’s announcement, fans are already getting excited about the 4DX experience, with some trying to predict just how much they’re going to get experience of Skarsgård’s wicker husband. “wdym 4dx is there a wicker dildo on the seat,” one person wrote on X. Another person added, “4DX? Are they handing out wicker vibrators before the screening or what.” Wicker hits theaters on Oct. 23.
