Roku Releases First Look Trailer Of Daniel Radcliffe In ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story!’

by Dave Elliott

Free streaming service Roku has released the first trailer for ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story!’, which stars Daniel Radcliffe as the Grammy-winning musician and pop-cultural icon.

The Roku Original film, produced by Funny Or Die, stars Radcliffe in the titular role of “Weird Al” Yankovic. The biopic holds nothing back, exploring every facet of Yankovic’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 (…according to the press release!) ‘WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story’ takes audiences on a truly unbelievable journey through Yankovic’s life and career, from gifted child prodigy to the greatest musical legend of all time.

“When Weird Al first sat me down against my will and told me his life story, I didn’t believe any of it, but I knew that we had to make a movie about it,” said writer and director, Eric Appel.

‘WEIRD: The Weird Al Yankovic Story’ is written by Al Yankovic & Eric Appel. Eric Appel will also direct the film and is an executive producer. The film is produced by Funny Or Die and Tango. Al Yankovic produces, along with Mike Farah, Joe Farrell and Whitney Hodack for Funny Or Die, and Tim Headington, Lia Buman and Max Silva for Tango. Funny Or Die’s Henry Muñoz III and Tango’s Neil Shah are executive producers.

For those of you unclear about where to find The Roku Channel, it’s available on Roku streaming players, TCL & Hisense TV models and NOW TV & Sky Q devices under the “apps” section. Along with more than 20,000 free movies and programs, it also has some great original content such as the beautiful and hilarious ‘Zoey’s Extraordinary Christmas’, and all the great shows from the now-defunct streaming service Quibi. These include series such as ‘The Fugitive’ starring Boyd Holbrook & Kiefer Sutherland, and ‘Most Dangerous Game’ starring Liam Hemsworth & Christoph Waltz, which is returning for a second season. The Roku Channel is completely free, supported by ads.

‘WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story’ does not have a release date yet, but will air worldwide on The Roku Channel.
