Flatulent corpse comedy SWISS ARMY MAN gets trailer and poster.
Directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan’s absurdist black (brown?) comedy SWISS ARMY MAN is commonly referred to as the “Harry Potter Farting Corpse Movie” and famously caused walk outs earlier this year at Sundance.
Audiences just couldn’t handle the flatulence that the film revels in.
But there’s more to SWISS ARMY MAN than just undead tooting.
The movie stars THERE WILL BE BLOOD’s Paul Dano as a young man stranded on a deserted island who find a talking, farting zombie washed up on the beach, played by Harry Potter star and now renowned British actor Daniel Radcliffe. In between gaseous exchanges, the two become close friends and soon go on an epic, existential adventure.
A24 will release SWISS ARMY MAN on June 17th. We haven’t seen the film, but outside of the easily offended Sundance walkees, we have otherwise heard plenty of great things about its singularity and bold vision.
And though it’s not horror, it seems perfect for SHOCK’s audience, those of us who constantly search for the new, unique, bizarre and unclassifiable.
Have a look at the trailer below and hit the film’s official site for more info.
(And incidentally, the song featured in the trailer is by the band Manchester Orchestra and is performed by Dano and Radcliffe!)
