Whether it’s a child living amongst giants, a survivor finding an unusual friend on a deserted island, or a blundering, seemingly inept private eye, the latest trailers for upcoming movies feature characters stuck in their own fantasies. <\/p>\n
At first, seeing Paul Dano on a deserted island making friends with the corpse of Daniel Radcliffe made me think this movie would be a twisted spoof of the friendship between Tom Hanks and the Wilson volleyball in ‘Cast Away’. Then, when the body passed gas and the quirky indie music started playing, I thought this might be the next Wes Anderson film or perhaps a warped remake of ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’. <\/p>\n
The point is, this movie is so weird and off-the-wall (particularly when Radcliffe’s character begins interacting with the clearly delusional Dano) that I really want to watch it. The plot seems to be more about the life Radcliffe once lived while Dano’s demented imagination takes hold and the movie’s title comes into better focus. However, as quirky and funny as it may appear, I think I’ll wait for the eventual Blu-ray release. <\/p>\n
