On November 4th, the streaming company has announced that Weird: The Al Yankovic Story will be released. The film is the latest step in the company's push into producing original content that is said to include as many as 50 shows.
The life of Weird Al is covered in the film, including his fame in the music industry to his celebrity love affairs. It is being directed by Eric Appel and written by Weird Al. Also starring are Evan Rachel Wood and Rainn Wilson.
Roku is better known for its streaming hardware than it is for its streaming content. After picking up Qubi's library of original content when the short-form video service closed its doors, and licensing major films from Lionsgate, The Roku Channel is now one of the more intriguing new entrants into the streaming wars.
