Gustaf Skarsgard will play the lead in Swedish helmer Ella Lemhagen's "
Patrik 1,5."
Skarsgard, one of Variety's 10 Euro actors to watch, will play a gay man who, with his partner (Torkel Pettersson), adopts an orphaned Swedish boy. They think the boy is a 1½ years old, but when he arrives, he turns out to be a 15-year-old with criminal tendencies who hates gays.
