Alexander Skarsgård thinks he can get away with playing a gay biker in a romantic comedy: Pillion is as much fun to watch as it is to make. It's a film that celebrates the kink community without shame or judgment - no straight audiences are catered for here. Lighton's screenplay draws on his childhood crushes, including Groundskeeper Willie from The Simpsons, and the result is a confident, sexy, and funny story.
The trailer promises 'feel-good' fun, but Pillion does tackle some heavy themes: abuse of power, consent, and the stigma surrounding kink culture. Lighton has little patience with the idea that kinks are unsuitable for public viewing, especially in LGBTQ+ festivals where the marginalised should be given pride of place.
For his part, Skarsgård says he never thought twice about playing a gay biker - "we just wanted to do it well." The chemistry between Melling and himself is undeniable; their scenes together have a tingling electricity that feels both authentic and natural. Yet the real stars of Pillion are those who play outside the mainstream, people we don't see enough of on screen.
One audience member Skarsgård seems nervous about showing to his twin brother - there's some intriguing family history at play here. Despite this, the film promises an enjoyable viewing experience for everyone, regardless of background or lifestyle.

. But then they're saying it's a "feel-good" movie? That doesn't add up. How can you have a fun, sexy rom-com tackling those topics too? I need some sources on this one, stat! 
alexander skarsgard seems so down-to-earth about playing a gay biker too - no drama just 'we wanna do it well' 
meanwhile, the chemistry between melling and skarsgård is giving me all the feels 
its awesome that they're celebrating those who are often marginalized in media. can't wait to see this film 
. Alexander Skarsgård thinks he can just waltz in and play a gay biker in a rom-com without any repercussions? Please, if I was playing a role like that online I'd get roasted within minutes 
. The fact that the trailer promises "feel-good fun" but actually tackles some heavy themes is like, what's up with that? It's like they're trying to have it both ways 
. And Skarsgård's response about not thinking twice about playing the role... um, sure buddy, keep telling yourself that 
. Still, with Skarsgård and Melling on board, it looks like we're in for an entertaining ride 
. Love that the chemistry between them is undeniable – it makes me want to watch! 
. Don't get me wrong, Alexander Skarsgård is a talented actor and all, but I don't think he should be playing a gay biker in a romantic comedy. It feels kinda forced or like an attempt to be cool? 
. Maybe I'd watch it just to see how they handle those heavy themes 
.
I mean, isn't that kinda stereotypical? And what's up with the trailer promising 'feel-good' fun but then tackling all these heavy themes? Sounds like the filmmakers are trying to be edgy or something... Newsflash: we get it, kink culture is a thing. Can't they just make a fun movie without hitting us over the head with social commentary? 
. I'm also loving the chemistry between Skarsgård and his co-star, Melling... their scenes together are giving me all the feels 
!
. still, there's a fine line between celebrating something and reducing it to a novelty. fingers crossed skarsgard does do justice to this role and we get a film that's more than just a fun ride 
Can't wait to see this one on screen, even if it's not for everyone 
. It's refreshing to see someone using their platform to celebrate the kink community without shying away from tough topics. And let's be real, his on-screen chemistry with Melling is on point 
. The layout is all over the place and it's making my eyes dart back and forth too much. Can't they just get the typography right? 
and that chemistry between him and Melling is undeniable. I'm also intrigued by the family history of the film, sounds like there's some juicy stuff going down 
. All in all, Pillion seems like a fun and sexy romp... now if only they'd proofread for me! 
!!! I mean, who wouldn't want to watch a gay biker rom-com with such dashing good looks? 
. Pillion seems to tackle some heavy stuff, but if anyone can do it with humor and heart, it's this cast 
. Can't wait to see how it plays out 
.
Can't wait to see the film and support more stories that showcase the kink community in all their complexity
