Another Toothy ‘Tusk’ Poster Exclusive!

Published

Tusk

One of the most talked about films ever out of the Midnight Madness portion of the Toronto International Film Festival is Kevin Smith’s Human Centipede-esque Tusk (read our review), about a man (Justin Long) who is surgically turned into a walrus by a mysterious seafarer (Michael Parks).

In theaters September 19, A24 shared with us a second exclusive alternate one-sheet that’s both artistic and creepy. It shows Long getting a bit long in the tooth.

Wallace (Justin Long) co-hosts a popular podcast with his pal Teddy (Haley Joel Osment), focusing on cruel, mocking cringe humour as part of their mission to keep it “real and raunchy.” After his trip to Winnipeg to interview the “Kill Bill Kid” — a teen whose unfortunate samurai-sword video has gone viral — comes up empty, Wallace decides to make the trip worth his while and find a good story north of the forty-ninth parallel. A handwritten flyer he finds in a bar bathroom leads him to a grizzled old swab (Michael Parks) full of tall tales to share from his life of adventure at sea — and this is where Wallace’s voyage to the Great White North descends into straight-up madness.

As an added bonus, the official website will now allow you to “Tuskify yourself” – upload your picture and go full walrus!
