SWISS ARMY MAN Trailers, Music Video and Posters

A24 has released two trailers (green-band and red-band), a music video and two posters for "Swiss Army Man", a movie unlike any other you've ever seen.

Directed by Daniels (Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert), the dramedy stars Paul Dano as a man stranded on a deserted island who, just as he is about to commit suicide, discovers a corpse named Manny (Daniel Radcliffe) washed up on shore. The two become close friends and they embark on a surreal journey to get home. Believe me when I say that this short description of the plot simply doesn't do justice to all the weirdness you are about to witness in those two trailers. Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Timothy Eulich and Richard Gross co-star.

The original score composed by Manchester Orchestra's Andy Hull and Robert McDowell is just as unique. The music video features a song named "Montage" which showcases their work and some crazy lyrics. Here is how Hull describes the scoring process:

"We had to write a lot of the material before the movie was shot so that the actors could sing along while filming. After the movie was shot, we did traditional scoring at our studio, where we watched the footage and added music (voices). Nearly a year after we began working on the movie, we flew to LA to record the final vocals from the actors to really make it sound like this score is taking place inside of a crazy dudes mind. It was and is surreal. The end result is at times really trippy and lonely. There are also songs that have over 100 voices singing and sound outside of anything I thought we would be able to create. What we aimed for was something really beautiful that can evoke emotions without having to always use lyrics or any traditional instrumentation. It’s an up and down journey that parallels the travels and conversations of these two characters. It was easily one of the greatest experiences of our lives. It really pushed and stretched us to think outside of the box and outside of our comfort zone. I’m thrilled that we finally get to share it."

Check out the trailers, music video and posters after the jump.

Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe in Swiss Army Man

Official Synopsis

"Outrageously fun and deeply affecting, Swiss Army Man is a gonzo buddy comedy that is the feature film debut of acclaimed music video directors Daniel Scheinert and Daniel Kwan (collectively known as DANIELS, and responsible for the visionary “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.

Swiss Army Man creates a world like no other—a place of pure fantastical imagination, brimming with magical realism yet featuring two characters whose dreams and fears are entirely relatable. Dano and Radcliffe both fully commit to their directors’ audacious vision, and their work is exceptional, finding the perfect balance of humor and heart that drives the whole film. A celebration of all the wonders cinema has to offer, Swiss Army Man is a cultural phenomenon in the making; a surreal and wholly original examination of human vulnerability and connection that must be experienced."
