  • Daniel Radcliffe To Play Weird Al Yankovic

    You know what? I'm in.

    https://www.gamesradar.com/daniel-ra...erd-al-biopic/

    "Radcliffe plays Alfred Matthew Yankovic, AKA "Weird Al" Yankovic, in an upcoming biopic about the comedy musician, and the first set photos reveal his latest transformation. The 32-year-old has a huge fluffy, black wig and with a moustache that Mario would approve. Unscroll the tweet below to see Radcliffe as Weird Al."

    I feel he's compensating too much. After sitting through Swiss Army Man and Horns, I'd happily knee him in the balls if I ever met him.
    I'm bitter, I'm twisted, James Joyce is fucking my sister.

      Not sold on Harry P as the legend Weird Al, but Im still totally sold on the film itself.

        Haven't seen a decently done biopic in ages. If they can pull this one off, good.

          Did you see A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD? That one got me.
          Why would anybody watch a scum show like Videodrome? Why did you watch it, Max?

            I didn't get very far into it, but I had really just finished the documentary, "Won't You Be My Neighbor" so I was probably subconsciously biased against Hanks for not being Mr. Rogers.

              Not only am I 1000% in for a Weird Al biopic but I reckon Radcliffe will do a great job with the part.

                    This was a lot of fun. Completely idiotic and reminded me of reading Norm McDonald's autobiography, but how else are you gonna do a biopic of Weird Al?

                      Just streamed this. Loved it! It was a bit weird (appropriate, I guess) that Weird Al was speaking with a British accent. But how do they make money from a movie you can stream for free? And is there a soundtrack?

                      (Also, the pervert in me was disappointed that Evan Rachael Wood wasn't topless when she was in bed with Daniel Radcliffe.)

                          Daniel Radcliffe (The Lost City, Swiss Army Man, the Harry Potter films) is “Weird Al” Yankovic in the unexaggerated true story about the greatest musician and sex symbol of our time. The film also stars Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld, Across the Universe) as Madonna and Rainn Wilson (The Office, The Meg) as Dr. Demento. From the big screen to Broadway, the telling of music stars’ lives is all the rage. Now comes the outrageous biopic of the unique artist who gained fame and fortune by parodying hit songs. A true-life story about the man who turned twisting popular lyrics into a hugely successful career had to be equally twisted, befitting the man, the myth, the legend known to the world as “Weird Al” Yankovic.
