Harry Potter actor, Daniel Radcliffe, will be starring in an upcoming biopic about Weird Al Yankovic, a Grammy-Award winning musical icon. WEIRD: The Weird Al Yankovic Story will star Radcliffe in the titular role as Weird Al himself, and will follow his story; from his rise to fame in the music industry and even his celebrity love affairs. Alfred Matthew ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic was born in 1959, and is an American singer, record producer, musician and actor.
He is well-known for his comical songs that make light of pop culture. Viewers will be in for an extraordinary treat when watching WEIRD, as they will take a trip through the musician’s journey through chaos. WEIRD aims to show the musician’s life at every stage, from his time as a gifted child prodigy to becoming one of the world’s most iconic musical legends.
The movie will be available for free, exclusively on The Roku Channel, on all Roku streaming players and Roku powered TVs as well as NOW and Sky Q devices. “When my last movie UHF came out in 1989,” said Yankovic, “I made a solemn vow to my fans that I would release a major motion picture every 33 years, like clockwork. I’m very happy to say we’re on schedule.
“I am excited that my first project as the owner of Funny Or Die (FOD) Studios is to help bring the story of ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic to the screen,” said Henry Muñoz III, Funny Or Die Chairman and executive producer. There is no release date for WEIRD: The Weird Al Yankovic Story at the moment, but audiences should keep an eye out for any future announcements.
