WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY trailer – Daniel Radcliffe becomes Weird Al for a ROKU Biopic… yes, really

If you’re a Weird Al Yankovic fan, get ready to be happy. You may remember Funny Or Die posting a parody trailer back in 2013 for a Weird Al biopic that seemed like a funny idea, though perhaps not a very likely one. Welp, now it’s a reality, thanks to the ROKU Channel. In WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY, Radcliffe plays Al Yankovic aka Weird Al, along with Rainn Wilson as Dr. Demento, Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna, and Toby Huss and Julianne Nicholson playing the Yankovic parents. The teaser below gives us a taste of what to expect, but we still don’t know when exactly this hits, only that it’s sometime in the fall. Check out the trailer and tell us your thoughts in the comments.
