Daniel Radcliffe is looking quite different these days. He sports a shaved head (and an American accent) as he tries to infiltrate a neo-Nazi terrorist group in the debut trailer for the undercover skinhead thriller "Imperium."

Radcliffe plays Nate Foster, a young FBI agent who is brought into a high-risk undercover operation that concerns the activities and actions of a white supremacist gang. Posing as a new skinhead recruit, Nate must gather as much intel on the fanatical organization while trying not to blow his cover or get himself killed in the process.

Inspired by real events, the film also stars Oscar-nominated actress Toni Collette as Radcliffe's FBI handler. While Chris Sullivan (The Knick), Tracy Letts (Homeland), Nestor Carbonell (Bates Motel), Burn Gorman (Pacific Rim) and Sam Trammell (True Blood) round out the cast.

Daniel Ragussis, the writer and director of the award-winning 2008 short film "Haber," makes his feature directorial debut with "Imperium," which will be released in theaters and on VOD August 19th.

Nate Foster (Daniel Radcliffe), a young, idealistic FBI agent, goes undercover to take down a radical right-wing terrorist group.
