Daniel Radcliffe makes the full transformation into the parody king, «Weird Al» Yakovic! On Monday, the trailer for the upcoming Roku original Story dropped and gave the world a closer look at the man who changed music for the weird.
The trailer begins as Al literally kicks in the door and tosses a tape to a record executive (played by the actual «Weird Al» Yankovic) and says, “Put in it.” “I’m tired of people thinking I'm some kind of joke,” Radcliffe’s Al says as a clip of him as a young boy being shamed by his parents plays.“My whole life, all I wanted is to make up new words to a song that already exists,” he says amid a scene of the police bringing him home from a polka party to his disappointed parents.
After Al gets the approval from his friends, and future bandmates, the almost 3-minute trailer cuts into his life as a musician best known for making parodies of songs that topped the charts.
