Alexander Skarsgard and Kirsten Dunst stuck together at the Toronto Film Festival premiere of Melancholia on Saturday. The costars signed autographs and posed with fans on the red carpet and also stopped to take photographs with their castmate Kiefer Sutherland. Alexander and Kirsten kept the fun coming after the screening when they showed up at a Hugo Boss and GQ party to honor the film. Kirsten was on trend in a polka-dot Prada blouse and a long white Chanel skirt, and Alexander looked handsome as usual in a dark suit. The actor was busy promoting his latest film while the season finale of his small-screen hit, True Blood, aired last night — check out Buzz's take on the shocking True Blood cliffhanger. Alex will have another moment in the spotlight this weekend when Straw Dogs hits theaters, but first he will get back to work filming What Maisie Knew in NYC.

Melancholia Trailer: Kirsten Dunst and Alexander Skarsgard Marry, Worry About the Earth's Destruction

Director Lars von Trier is known for his unusual and visceral aesthetic, like in 2009's Antichrist, and his upcoming film, Melancholia, looks to offer more of the same. Kirsten Dunst stars as Justine, a woman who's already questioning her happiness on her wedding day to her handsome new husband (Alexander Skarsgard). She's also clashing with her sister Claire, played by Charlotte Gainsbourg, while Kiefer Sutherland makes a rare film appearance as Claire's prickly husband. The relationships would be enough for a rich psychological drama, but there's actually an, um, disaster angle.

Another planet has just emerged from behind the Sun and is on an apparent collision course with Earth, making the principal characters understandably anxious. It's a strange combination of genres (think Margot at the Wedding meets Armageddon), but there's no denying that the bit we get to see in the preview is stunningly photographed. And for all you True Blood fans, take note: it's Eric in a tux! Watch the preview when you read more
