WATCH: New 'Frank' 2014 movie clip and featurette starring Michael Fassbender & more in bizarre musical film [VIDEOS]

Frank looks like one of the most bizarre films of all time, but the dark comedy due in theaters this summer could be one of the most important movies for the music world. In a newly released movie clip and an exclusive featurette from Magnolia Pictures, we get a bit more information on the project and why it's a must-see for 2014.

First we have the short movie clip from Frank, where the title character (played by Michael Fassbender, by the way) kind of explains his reasoning for wearing the giant face:

And here is the featurrette of the film, detailing what we can expect from this ambitious movie:

Frank hits theaters August 22, 2014, in the United States. Here is an official synopsis:

FRANK is an offbeat comedy about a wannabe musician who finds himself out of his depth when he joins a maverick rock band led by the enigmatic Frank - a musical genius who hides himself inside a large fake head. [The film] stars Dohmnall Gleeson, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Scoot McNairy and Michael Fassbender and is directed by Lenny Abrahamson (Adam & Paul, Garage, What Richard Did). Written by Jon Ronson (The Men Who Stare At Goats) and Peter Straughan (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, The Men Who Stare At Goats), FRANK is a fictional story based on the memoir by Jon Ronson and loosely inspired by Frank Sidebottom (the persona of cult musician and comedy legend Chris Sievey), as well as outsider musicians like Daniel Johnston, Captain Beefheart and Harry Partch.
