Daniel Radcliffe To Star In Weird Al Biopic From Director Eric Appel

theplaylist.net:

There aren’t many musicians who can say they’ve had a successful career spanning decades, but Weird Al Yankovic is one of those people.

So, while we get a slew of rock biopics about music legends, you knew it was only a matter of time before Hollywood turned its gaze to the life of Weird Al.

According to The Roku Channel, the streaming service has made a deal with Funny Or Die and Tango for a biopic titled “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.” The film, as the title suggests, is expected to follow the life and career of the comedian/musician as he rose to prominence in the ‘80s and, well, never really went away.
