Between the walk-outs and "WTF?!"s, Swiss Army Man actually picked up some very promising reviews at the Sundance Film Festival when it premiered there in January. The first feature film directed by Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (aka 'Daniels') also won the pair Sundance's Directing Award. A limited release in the US has been scheduled by distributors A24 (a perfect fit for the material) for the 17th of June, with an expansion planned for the 1st of July. This is the first trailer for the experimental comedy starring Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe.
