Cast Away meets Weekend at Bernie’s in this bizarre island adventure starring Paul Dano as a stranded survivor and Daniel Radcliffe (Horns) as an endlessly useful washed up corpse.
A wholly original, enormously entertaining, and deeply heartfelt look at what it means to be human, Swiss Army Man is the feature film debut of acclaimed music video directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan (collectively known as DANIELS, and responsible for the beloved “Turn Down For What” video, among many others). Bursting with limitless creativity in both form and content, Swiss Army Man goes from the absurd to the emotional to the whimsical to the profound and back again.
Hank (Paul Dano) is stranded on a deserted island, having given up all hope of ever making it home again. But one day everything changes when a corpse named Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) washes up on shore; the two become fast friends, and ultimately go on an epic adventure that will bring Hank back to the woman of his dreams.
The trailer shows us the surreal adventures of this desperate duo as they explore the island and their own hearts… Probably. Cool cast, great visuals, and inventive premise. I can’t wait to give this a look and hopefully you’re just as excited as I am.
