Daniel Radcliffe has made some really fun career choices since hanging up his wand (Swiss Army Man, The Lost City), and it appears that he’s onto another winner with Roku’s forthcoming biopic Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
The man who Radcliffe will be portraying took to Twitter to debut a first look at the film, which also stars Julianne Nicholson (Mare of Easttown), Rainn Wilson (The Office), Toby Huss (Carnivàle), and Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld) as Madonna; check it out below….
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story has been written by the titular subject and Eric Appel (Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Silicon Valley), the latter of whom has directed, and promises to hold “nothing back, exploring every facet of Yankovic’s life, from his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like ‘Eat It’ and ‘Like a Surgeon’ to his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle, taking audiences on a truly unbelievable journey through Yankovic’s life and career, from gifted child prodigy to the greatest musical legend of all time.”
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story will debut some time in 2022 on the Roku Channel.
