"Weird Al" pretty much fathered the parody song in the 90's, now his biopic is just as "weird" as him.
Al Yankovic gave us smash hits like "Eat It", "Amish Paradise", and "White & Nerdy". The radio talent turned parody master made millions from creating hilarious songs out of hit music. His new biopic is about to be released and Daniel Radcliffe (famous for being Harry Potter) plays Weird Al himself.
The biopic takes you through the life of a young comedian turned superstar just from writing parodies. It claims to be the ‘untold story’ of Weird Al, Rainn Wilson is Al's radio friend Dr. Demento that helped make him a household name, and Evan Rachel Wood plays Madonna.
The real "Weird Al" said of the film, "When my last movie UHF came out in 1989, I made a solemn vow to my fans that I would release a major motion picture every 33 years, like clockwork." It's really another parody but of his life and Yankovic was a major part of the film making.
The trailer just came out and it looks hilarious:
Weird Al has five Grammy awards, is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist of all time and has the first comedy album in history to debut at number one on US Billboard Top 200 chart.
The new movie starts streaming on Roku on November 4th.
