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.

It's 2022 and tits are no longer funny.

[James Reed]

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.)

[Mark Tolch]

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?

[JLG]

is it just me or does that teaser seem kinda dark?

[Ian Jane]

[FnordChan]

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

[Mark Tolch]

Did you see A BEAUTIFUL DAY IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD? That one got me.

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.

[Matt H.]

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

[The Silly Swede]

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

[agent999]

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.
