Daniel Radcliffe is transformed in the trailer for 'Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.'
Today, Grammy winner and recording artist Weird Al Yankovic took to Twitter to give fans a very simple order: Get psyched. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is inching closer, and it's all we can do until the movie finally premieres. The Roku original movie will chronicle the life and career of the comedy musician that became world-famous for his parodies of hit songs.
We had already seen Radcliffe in character as Al Yankovic, but this time we get to see the British star in action and once again leaning into his comedy skills to embody the legendary musician. Radcliffe will also get his rockstar persona on, as the movie will depict Yankovic’s hilarious performances for screaming crowds all over the country.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Based on the teaser trailer, it’s easy to see that Radcliffe managed to rock Yankovic's trademark accordion, which is almost a whole character in the singer’s story, and will certainly be prominent in the movie. The trailer marches to the beat of “Like a Surgeon”, which is Yankovic’s parody of Madonna’s hit song “Like a Virgin”.
This also means that we can expect to see different sides of Yankovic that we’re not used to associating with the singer and comedian, including his party hard mode and his self-declared “depraved” lifestyle. Yankovic has sold over 10 million albums, won the Grammy five times and scored six platinum records, a feat that even “serious” singers struggle to accomplish.Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is slated for a Fall release on The Roku Channel, but a specific date is yet to be announced.
