Swiss Army Man Throwback

Swiss Army Man Throwback
Hair stylist Anissa E. Salazar shared the following photos on Instagram. These were taken while filming Swiss Army Man.


For Dan’s character look, I did a trim with a feather razor for more edgy pieces. Used 3-4 products to build up the same idea of texture and grit. Hair powder, fiber pomade, oil, and hairspray. Using a rat tail comb to back comb a touch.

There was a balance between keeping his front hair messy and undone, otherwise we were drifting into #lloydchristmas territory. Chasing bangs will keep you busy!.

Updated: 15 years Koch Films: Daniel Radcliffe's birthday message
Daniel has recorded a birthday message for German company Koch Films. Koch Media's film division is 15 years active now. Koch Films is the distributor of (theatrical and DVD/Blu-ray) his films Kill Your Darlings and Swiss Army Man.

Koch Films mentioned that everyone who likes Daniel as much as they do should check their feed again tomorrow because Daniel sent them a birthday package and they say that there might be something in it which they want to share. I'll keep an eye on it ;)

Update: 18th October 2018. Koch Films announced a giveaway. Two people will win a signed Kill Your Darlings DVD plus Swiss Army Man Mediabook. For more info. See the shared post on this site's Facebook page. It ends Monday 22nd October 2018.

The video is recorded in his dressing room at Studio 54 in New York where he is starring in The Lifespan of a Fact.
"You've worked very very hard on a film of mine called Swiss Army Man which you put a lot of efforts into into Germany (...)"


This video is also shared on Facebook.

PCG magazine interview

PCG magazine interview
PSG (Positive Celebrity Gossip) magazine had the chance to ask Daniel a few questions in a short exclusive interview.

Favorite characters in a film
“Obviously, I loved playing Harry and those 10-years were very special, but my favorite character has to be ‘Manny,’ in Swiss Army Man. He’s a sweet, dead weirdo and it was awesome to play him!”
Summorize Swiss Army Man

What happens when a hopeless man stranded on a deserted island befriends a dead body? Well, they go on a surreal journey to get home.

 More Swiss Army Man
“Oh, good; me too. If I had to burn every other scene I’ve ever done in my career and leave one, it would be the bus scene in Swiss Army Man. It’s the best six minutes I’ve ever been involved with onscreen.”
 Favorite charity
 “The Trevor Project. What they do is vital and thankfully more and more people seem to be becoming aware of them.”
 What Daniel Radcliffe would tell the whole world if he could, in thirty seconds.
“I have to quote one of my favourite authors (Kurt Vonnegut) here: ‘“There’s only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you’ve got to be kind.’” So, yeah that’s it really, just be kind, thanks!”

Horror2 interview (Japan)
Another Japanese interview appeared online today in promotion of Swiss Army Man (スイス・アーミー・マン). It is the fourth interview regading the Skype session and again it features a new photo by Yukitaka Amemiya.

Translation by Daniel J Radcliffe Holland.

- What kind of movie did you think this was when this role offer came?
Radcliffe: I first thought about setting this role, "I want to do it" I thought. I thought that it would be a very unique buddy movie like Samuel Beckett wrote. At first it was such an image, but it was magnificent that I was surprised to see the completed movie. Indeed it is a unique story with a strange story, but I did not imagine it would be a scaled work.

Cinemas by shochiku interview (Japan)

Cinemas by shochiku interview (Japan)
The third Japanese interview in promotion of Swiss Army Man (スイス・アーミー・マン) in Japan and also with another photo by Yukitaka Amemiya. This is the interview from the website called 'Cinemas by Shochiku" and I assume this is also from the "Skype press day".

Translation by Daniel J Radcliffe Holland.

I was surprised by the unexpected development and screenplay I haven't seen before. Where were you attracted to it? Please tell me the point where my heart was caught.

Daniel Radcliffe (Daniel): Of course I thought that the unique place is interesting. However, there are many strange things in the screenplay that was sent to me. However, there are few things that are strange but can become masterpieces. This work is not intended to be promoted as "strange" because I want to be "strange". I was attracted to it and wanted to do it instantly.

Chil Chil net interview (Japan)

Chil Chil net interview (Japan)
I assume this is the second interview published with the questions and answers from the Skype interview he did back in August with Japanese journalists. The other one in promotion of Swiss Army Man (スイス・アーミー・マン) was Cinema Today which also features photos by Yukitaka Amemiya just like this one. Thanks Dan Radcliffe Japan for the mention!

A quote from the interview (there are only a few quotes in there as far as I could tell by translating, this is the one we haven't heard before):

Translation by Daniel J Radcliffe Holland.

"There is a romantic side (to their relationship). I think that it's not love, especially after having a party in the forest, it looks like they are going to kiss, but Hank will kiss Manny later, when Manny saves Hank's life in the water, I kissed Hank, and until now Manny hasn't experienced kissing so Hank gave him that experience."

Cinema Today interview (Japan)

Cinema Today interview (Japan)
A new interview appeared online: Japanese website Cinema Today released their exclusive interview with Daniel in promotion of Swiss Army Man (スイス・アーミー・マン) .

Translation by Daniel J Radcliffe Holland (part of it).  Full article here.

Q: It was a surprisingly beautiful and deep movie. After seeing the movie, I am convinced why you wanted to do this work, but it is still a corpse. Did you not hesitate at all?
I really did not hesitate. I read the script and it is very strange but wonderful, I thought it was very beautiful like you said. So, "Oh, if I play the corpse, what do you guys think?" I never thought that, I just thought "I must be part of this movie". And they (The Daniels) made a really beautiful movie. I knew that there was that potential, but when I saw the film when it was actually completed, they felt that they had used the body's joke and very beautiful and deepest stories.

Q: How did you create the role? Since it is a corpse, you should not blink, you can not stand up on your own, and you can not use facial muscles when you are speaking.
For most of the role I was thinking, what would it be like if this happened in real life? And to use the imagination. Also I sent a lot of videos to the Daniels in which I had a strange face and a strange voice. And when I went to the set and saw the dummy being made (to use as corpses), I felt "I already know what to do". Because I was not able to prepare and research much, I just switched off my power and trusted myself to the movie world.

Indulge magazine interview

Indulge magazine interview
Daniel talked with The New Indian Express' Indulge magazine in promotion of Swiss Army Man. The film premieres on Star Movies Select HD on 12th August.

Where did it all begin with you? Before it all hit — Harry Potter, the movies, plays, etc.?
Ha ha! A lot of people ask me that. I grew up in Fulham, South West London, I had a very happy childhood, I wasn’t particularly good at school, and I was very talkative.

That’s what all the reports said — “We like Dan, he talks too much and his reports are rubbish.” And I was never in a school play. I recently read on my own IMDB page that I wanted to be an actor since the age of five, which I don’t recall being true. I was five! My opinion about what I wanted to do when I was at that age changed hourly, so it was never something I was driven towards.

Google+: New cover
There's a new cover photo on Daniel's official Google+ page. Well it's actually a gif. What we don't know is where and when it's taken so I can't say much more about it. I personally think it's from filming Beast of Burden.

Edit: I am sure it is from Swiss Army Man instead. The gif's name is "SWAMdith.gif", he wears the suit plus this on set photo via stunt man Matt Berberi also shows the blue and white 'thing' around his leg.

Here it is (click to enlarge, opens in a new window):
