‘Horns’ Teaser Trailer: Daniel Radcliffe Has A Wicked New Look
Here’s the first teaser for the adaptation ofJoe Hill’s novelHorns, which comes from directorAlexandre Aja(High Tension,Piranha 3D).Daniel Radcliffestars as Ignatius, a guy whose girlfriend perishes under mysterious circumstances, leading most everyone to think Radcliffe is the person responsible. There’s more to it than that, and one of the story’s complications is that Ignatius grows horns, and finds that this new physical development also brings a power to compel others to admit hidden details about their lives.Juno TempleandSabrina Carpenteralso star in the film adapted byKeith Bunin; watch theHornsteaser below.
As a brief teaser, it’s difficult to get too much info here. This footage doesn’t even really reveal much about the story. But the prospect of seeing Radcliffe play in this mode is appealing, and Hill’s novel seems like a great bit of material to adapt to film.
Hornsis set to be released in the US on October 31. Daniel Radcliffe will make his first-ever Comic Con appearance later this month to promote the film. Teaser viaYouTube. Here’s the short synopsis:
Here’s a promotional summary of the novel, which gives away just a bit more info than this trailer does:
Ignatius William Perrish wakes up bleary and confused after a night of drinking and “doing terrible things” to find he has grown horns. In addition to being horribly unsightly, these inflamed protuberances give Ig an equally ugly power–if he thinks hard enough, he can make people admit things (intimate, embarrassing, I-can’t-believe-you-just-said-that details). This bizarre affliction is of particular use to Ig, who is still grieving over the murder of his childhood sweetheart (a grisly act the entire town, including his family, believes he committed).
