Quinn Releases 'Felled' With Alexander Skarsgard Narration

The streaming platform Quinn released a new audio erotica original titled Felled on Tuesday. Alexander Skarsgard voices the production, which adapts a winning entry from a recent fan fiction contest. The release extends the reach of the film Wicker, which opened in theaters on October 23.

The project originated from a partnership between Quinn and Black Bear. The two companies launched a contest last month, inviting global submissions for stories set in the Wicker universe. Emma Parkinson’s entry, Felled, won the selection process. The platform has now adapted that specific story into its audio format.

Felled tells the story of a willow tree that forms a deep bond with a farmer’s daughter. The narrative follows their relationship as the tree is cut down. The story concludes with their reunion years later, revealing their connection survived the separation. This premise mirrors the surreal tone of the source material.

Skarsgard described the project as a rare experience in a statement. He noted the work had gained an independent life beyond the original film. He called the process fun and inspiring, citing the creativity of the fan base. He also highlighted the opportunity to engage with erotic content that was not androcentric.

Caroline Spiegel, founder and CEO of Quinn, called the partnership a natural fit. She cited the passion of the Wicker fanbase since the project began. Spiegel noted that many entries featured mermen, porcelain men, and witches. She stated that Felled stood out among the creative submissions.

The film Wicker is directed by Eleanor Wilson and Alex Huston Fischer. It stars Olivia Colman as a fisherwoman who commissions a wicker husband from Peter Dinklage, played by Skarsgard. The plot follows the village’s reaction to the new husband. The movie is based on Ursula Wills-Jones’s short story The Wicker Husband.

Wilson told The Hollywood Reporter that the film’s sex scenes were initially intended to be comedic. She observed that the scenes became more sensual during production. Skarsgard worked with intimacy coordinator Ita O'Brien while in costume. The film includes a visual moment where Colman’s character views the nude wicker man in the water from a distance.

Felled joins a catalog of produced romances featuring Hollywood talent on Quinn. The platform has previously used voices such as Wilson Bethel, Chris Briney, Andrew Scott, and Matt Smith. It has also released duet productions featuring pairs like Tom Bateman and Lili Reinhart. Other duets include Hudson Williams and Connor Storrie.

The new audio original is available for streaming on Quinn as of the announcement date. The release follows the platform’s strategy of using popular cultural moments to attract audiences. It pairs high-profile voice performances with niche digital content.
