In a moment we’re comfortable calling downright Kafkaesque, Daniel Radcliffe has awoken one morning to find strange horns sprouting from atop his head. Oh yeah and his girlfriend has also mysteriously died, so of course our newly devilish protagonist is catching all the blame. At least that is the premise of the actor’s latest film, Horns, of which we now have a teaser trailer.
The official ferreal-real trailer is set to premiere at Comic-Con International on Friday, July 25th at 3PM.
This is, of course, a horror tale based on Joe Hill’s mysterious dark fantasy novel of the same name (he of the incredible Locke & Key graphic novel series), turned into a flick by none other than director Alexandre Aja himself (you know, the guy who did The Hills Have Eyes and Mirrors). In it Radcliffe plays Ig Perrish, the boyfriend of Merrin Williams (Juno Temple) who, following her gruesome end is met with a bevy of diabolical powers that “bring out the worst in people,” and have made him a super-duper social outcast. The film premiered to positive reviews at last year’s Toronto International Film Festival, so we’re already looking forward to the U.S. wide release (which is still to be determined).
The film co-stars Temple, Heather Graham, and Max Minghella alongside Radcliffe.
What do you think of the trailer? Gonna head to the Comic-Con panel (which will be, might we add, Radcliffe’s FIRST time ever at SDCC)? Let’s discuss in the comments.
Looks good but Friday is already full with Walking Dead, Game of Thrones and Orphan Black.
So glad it looks like they are finally going to release it!! I was expecting it to come out last fall.
I loved the book! Looking forward to the movie…
Good for Daniel for taking chances and doing something dark He’s proving to be a true Journeyman of his craft
Just put it out on Blu-Ray already. This has been teased for over a year now…sheesh!
Super excited. I’ve been hearing about the film of ages. He’s so talented and takes acting seriously. Gotta love that.
Where did they get an AMC Hornet? Found it in the Australian outback?
Its actually a Gremlin, Ig drives a Gremlin in the book. It really is an amazing love story with great horror/fantasy elements. I am very excited to see this movie
its weird to hear him speak with an american accent.
So excited for this!!!
