Daniel Radcliffe Is A Farting Corpse In First 'Swiss Army Man' Trailer


There are always a number of weird movies that populate the Sundance Film Festival, but this year the one that took the cake was Swiss Army Man. Why? Because it wasn't some Midnight movie with a cast nobody knows and probably ever will; but because it starred Daniel Radcliffe, Harry Potter himself, as a flatulent corpse. Yep. As you might imagine, the film stirred up a lot of buzz and polarized audiences, but now it's got an official trailer and date for when you can see Radcliffe in all of his gassy glory.

Directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (aka The Daniels), the film stars Paul Dano as the lonely Hank, who is stranded on a deserted island with little hope of getting home. Just as he's given up on life, he discovers the best friend he'll ever know and the one person who can help him escape. Unfortunately, or fortunately in this case, he turns out to be a corpse uniquely suited to the task. 

It's a strange sort of bromance that ensues, and definitely won't be for everybody. For instance, it darn sure wasn't for me, although I credited the directors for making such a risky venture. Also starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Swiss Army Man hits theaters on June 17th.
