The first look at the “Weird Al” Yankovic biopic “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” has been unveiled.
It also stars Daniel Radcliffe as Yankovic, Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna, Rainn Wilson as pioneer comedic radio host and the discoverer of the musician, Dr. Demento, Julianne Nicholson as Yankovic’s mother Mary, and Toby Huss as the musician’s father, Nick.
The biopic is written by Yankovic and Appel. It will explore every facet of the musician’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.
