Alexander Skarsgard Dives Into Brandon Cronenberg’s ‘Infinity Pool’ For Neon & Topic Studios

Neon is reteaming with filmmaker Brandon Cronenberg on the sci-fi thriller Infinity Pool which will star Big Little Lies and Godzilla vs. Kong star Alexander Skarsgård. Neon previously acquired Cronenberg’s 2020 sci-fi psychological horror feature Possessor out of Sundance. Neon is co-financing and executive producing Cronenberg’s latest with Topic Studios. Neon will release Infinity Pool in the U.S. while Elevation Pictures will handle Canada.

Infinity Pool follows James and Em, who are young, rich, in love, and on vacation. Their all-inclusive resort boasts island tours and gleaming beaches. But outside of the hotel gates waits something much more dangerous and seductive, beyond the edge of paradise. Cameras will roll on Sept. 6.
