Daniel Radcliffe gets weird in the first teaser trailer of Roku‘s Weird: The Al Yankovic Story above. The feature-length comedy tells the story of the titular biggest-selling comedy recording artist of all time.
Known for pastiching and parodying the works of his musical contemporaries, Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist of all time. The biopic promises to hold nothing back and explore every facet of his life, from his childhood through his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like “Eat It” and “Like a Surgeon,” while touching on his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle.
Yankovic and Eric Appel penned the feature, with the latter Funny or Die alum directing, after helming a short film of the same name for the production company back in 2010.
Yankovic is also producing alongside Mike Farah, Joe Farrell, and Whitney Hodack for Funny Or Die, and Tim Headington, Lia Buman, and Max Silva for Tango. Appel is exec producing with Funny Or Die’s Henry Muñoz III and Tango’s Neil Shah.
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story will be available for streaming exclusively on The Roku Channel. No premiere date has been set as of yet.
