Daniel Radcliffe Hooks Up With Madonna in ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ Trailer

“The world belongs to the rare” reads the slogan of ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’, and without a doubt Daniel Radcliffe has embraced his most bizarre side throughout his acting career away from Hogwarts. After seeing him as Igor, as a flatulent zombie, deranged in ‘Guns Akimbo’ and as a terrible baddie in ‘The Lost City’, the British becomes the comedian Al Yankovic in his delusional biopic, which already has a new trailer:

Al Yankovic, also known as Weird Al, became known in the United States in the mid-1980s thanks to his parodies of well-known songs. Some of them reached the top of the charts, and have sold more than 12 million records. In the trailer we see how he was discovered by radio disc jockey Dr. Demento, in the film played by Rainn Wilsonanother very bizarre character who knows how to see the potential of songs with changed lyrics and Yankovic’s polka rhythm.

Is it autobiographical?

In the video we also see Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna, who shows up at Weird Al’s house to ask if he’s going to parody his hit ‘Like a Virgin’. He wants to know if the song is autobiographical and she says yes. “except for the fact that I’ve had a lot of sex”, and proceeds to unleash her passion on him. There are more familiar faces in the film, like Quinta Brunson playing Oprah Winfrey. Julianne Nicholson, Toby Huss and Spencer Treat Clark round out the starring cast.

‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’ is directed by Eric Appel (‘Brooklyn Nine-Nine’), who has also been in charge of writing the script with Weird Al himself. The film premieres in the United States on November 4 on The Roku Channel.while in Spain we do not know when it will arrive or through which channel or platform.
