The first trailer for Swiss Army Man, the feature debut of music video directing of DANIELS (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), was a thing of supreme, wonderful weirdness, promising a movie full to the brim with imagination and magical realism. The second, boner joke filled red band trailer is here and it doesn’t disappoint, building on an oddly sweet relationship between Paul Dano’s castaway and Manny (Daniel Radcliffe), the dead body that washes onto the shore of his island that could be his best chance at getting home. The movie’s bizarre premise may have alienated some audience member at the Sundance film festival, but there’s no denying the originality on display, and I for one am waiting for this particular movie with bated breath.
Swiss Army Man reaches American shores on June 24th. No release date for this side of the pond has been given as of yet.
