is arguably one of the most quotable films of the early aughts, and one of the most iconic quotes from the entire film happens to be about a day in October. Every year when Oct.

Jonathan Groff encouraged his best friend Lea Michele to make a change to the Broadway revival of Funny Girl when she joined the cast as Fanny Brice earlier this month.

Full casting for the upcoming Off Broadway revival of Sondheim’s Merrily We Roll Along starring the previously announced Jonathan Groff, Lindsay Mendez and Daniel Radcliffe has been firmed up, with Krystal Joy Brown of Hamilton among those rounding out the production.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story has been praised in early reviews following its premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.Directed by Eric Appel in his directorial debut, the biographical parody film stars Daniel Radcliffe as ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic and loosely follows the musician’s life and career, while serving as a satire of the biopic genre.Alongside Radcliffe, the film stars Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna, Rainn Wilson as Dr. Demento, and Toby Huss and Julianne Nicholson as Al’s parents.

Save your family or save humanity. Could you make the choice? That’s the latest freaky proposition from filmmaker M.

This is too funny!

Harry Potter alum is not active on social media, and while he’s appeared on the red carpet a few times with his new girlfriend Erin Darke, we haven’t learned a whole lot about how they came to be together. Until this year, when he shared a hair-oriented tale about how he and his girlfriend came to be a couple.  Radcliffe has been candid dealing with the papparazzi and wanting privacy in the past, but he has also been out and about on red carpets this year to promote his upcoming movie Weird: The Al Yankovic Story at TIFF.

Daniel Radcliffe’s Weird Al film has gone down a treat at Toronto International Film Festival. Also starring Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna, the project, titled Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, follows the life and career of the Grammy winner, who is known for his hits included Eat It (a parody of Michael Jackson’s Beat It) and Amish Paradise (Coolio’s Gangsta’s Paradise). The Harry Potter actor takes on the title role and well and truly got into character, donning his signature moustache and a curly wig.

Daniel Radcliffe doesn't have to look far for fitness inspiration! ET's Rachel Smith spoke to the 33-year-old actor at the premiere of his upcoming flick, , at the Toronto International Film Festival, and he revealed how his parents served as two of his major fitness influences as he geared up to be shirtless in the film.«There is a bizarre thing that happened this year — I was shirtless more as Al than I’ve been in anything else,» Radcliffe told ET. "… An article about the film came out saying that I got in shape for this role, which I didn’t. My parents do CrossFit.

Daniel Radcliffe nails the look of “Weird Al” Yankovic for his latest film “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”, but when it comes to jam sessions on set, the actor only wishes he was as talented as the real musician.

Owen Gleiberman Chief Film Critic In “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” the winningly daffy-droll postmodern satirical biopic about the beloved cult song parodist of the MTV era, Al (Daniel Radcliffe), weird but not yet “Weird,” is sitting around with his roommates when lightning strikes — or, at least, bologna. One of the roommates asks Al to name the thing he’d most like to do in the world. Al, speaking with a fervor bigger than mere desire — he’s talking about nothing less than a dream — replies, with stoic conviction, “Make up the words to a song that already exists.” Moments later, the Knack’s “My Sharona” is blasting away on the radio, and just after he’s taken a package of bologna out of the fridge, he has his a-ha moment. The lyrics come to him in a flash: “Oo my little hungry one! Hungry one! Open up a package of MY bologna…” An irresistible parasitical fake star is born.  

Angelique Jackson “The world belongs to the weird,” so says the tagline for “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” but the wee hours of Friday morning belonged to Daniel Radcliffe as the comedy made its world premiere as the clock struck midnight at the Toronto International Film Festival. Radclifffe stars as the beloved parody musician in the upcoming Roku original film, which made its world premiere at the Royal Alexandra Theatre, kicking off TIFF’s Midnight Madness programming lineup. It was a full house at the theater and the crowd ate up every second of the parody biopic, cheering loudly for every surprise cameo (of which there were many) at the first “backstory” behind Yankovic’s biggest hits from “My Bologna” to “Eat It.” Some of the most raucous applause was saved for the Radcliffe-fronted rendition of “Amish Paradise.”
