The WeiRD: The Al Yankovic Story is a movie written by Weird Al and directed by Eric Appel, with Daniel Radcliffe attached to play the lead role. In a statement about the upcoming film, he spoke about how he sees WEIRD as his making good on a promise to maintain a dedicated presence in the film space over the decades.
I promised my fans that I would release a major motion picture every 33 years after my last movie, UHF, came out in 1989. I am very happy to say that we are on schedule. I am very happy that Daniel will be portraying me. Future generations will remember him for this role.
It is a testament to his ability to make art that sticks in people's minds even if they don't understand its appeal at the time. WEIRD will likely feature a fair amount of the musician's music, either in recreations of the moments when the musician was first working through them or at significant points in his career.
The new movie might actually be something, because both of the people who are in it are types who zig when you expect them to zag, meaning that people don't come into the movie thinking they should take it seriously.
WEIRD: The AlYankovic Story is scheduled to begin production in February.
