WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story (Daniel Radcliffe as Weird Al)

Featured Replies

 

Quote

The film was first announced in January, and is written by both Yankovic and Eric Appel. In a statement at the time, Yankovic said he was “absolutely thrilled” about Radcliffe’s casting.

“I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for,” he said.

Quote

The film is set to be released this year on The Roku Channel.

The movie, according to a press release, “holds 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.”

Weird Al is helping write/produce/etc, and was involved in casting, so probably a parody.

Weird Al had torrid celebrity love affairs and a depraved lifestyle?  i'm intrigued.

Weird Al puts on one of the most entertaining shows out there. I saw him about 12 years ago and it was hilarious.

Behold, the undermined!

Oh ok, this is my fucking wheelhouse. Can't wait, I may actually go to Alamo Drafthouse for this one. The preview stuff is going to be great. 

Not sure how great the movie will ultimately be but I’d watch that trailer 100 times. 

WTF? Why Harry Potter? Weird Al is 7" taller. 

I saw the trailer and thought this was some weird Weird Al dwarf Stonehenge recreation concert. 

Rainn Wilson as Dr. Demento? HELL YES I'm in!

that seems totally within character.

I used to listen to Dr. Demento every Sunday night on Z-97 (now The Eagle). I think My Dead Dog Rover is the one that hooked me.

 

this looks they rolled Walk Hard right into Walk The Line and I'm very excited about it

Met Rainn Wilson awhile back. He is an incredibly nice guy.

From my understanding, it's only streaming on the Roku channel. What an absolute waste if true.

After watching the trailers, this height discrepancy was very noticeable. Could throw me off…grown up Al still looks like a teenager.

Listening to The Ticket the other day and Gordo was talking about a tune Al wrote, but never recorded because McCartney didn't approve it (he's vegan). Chicken Pot Pie (Live and Let Die). He does perform it live from time to time.

all i can see is harry potter in a wig.

You forgot about Jack Black in a wig

This movie was amazing, best comedy I have seen in a while. I watched it while intoxicated just after the Astros won the World Series, so I was riding high from all that, but I'm certain it's a great movie even without that. 

They shot it in 18 days. Simply amazing.

Best movie ever written...that is a fictional biopic of a guy that writes parodies of popular songs.

Holy shit, I expected nothing from this but this movie is amazing. Funniest movie since..... I don't even know.

Will Forte laying into movie Weird Al, in front of the real Weird Al. "Oh ok I think that's enough."

 

Dr. Demento: "Ok here's an offer... they want you to replace Roger Moore in the James Bond franchise."

"No! I'm not going to be James Bond OR Indiana Jones!".

Quite literally one of the funniest movies I've ever seen. A new all-time favorite. Just perfect.

This is ridiculous.  Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna looking good.  And Daniel Radcliffe is apparently really that jacked, lol.

This was a fantastic movie by the way. I'm a big fan of his whole catalog so I got more out of it than my wife did, but she only knows a few songs and still thoroughly enjoyed it.
