This week has been an important one for Harry Potter star, Daniel Radcliffe.  Within days of his invitation to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, Radcliffe has signed on to a new film project and received another unique honor.

Swiss Army Man, also set to star Paul Dano and Mary Elizabeth Winstead, will be directed by Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert.  According to The Hollywood Reporter, work on the surrealist film will begin in July.

The film centers around a hopeless man stranded in the wilderness who befriends a dead body with which he begins a journey to get home.

The directors’ past work includes music videos and short films.

In addition, Daniel Radcliffe has won the male Rear of the Year Award for 2015.  International Business Times reports that the voting is done entirely online through Rear of the Year Ltd, with over 10,000 votes for the best backside registered this year.

Past male winners have covered a vast spectrum of people including Michael Barrymore, dancer Vincent Simone, John Barrowman, Ricky Whittle and Graham Norton.

Fifty Shades of Grey star, Jamie Dornan, ranked second this year, while Eddie Redmayne ranked fifth.
