The new trailer for “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story” was released on Monday, featuring Radcliffe as the notorious silly singer. Radcliffe – with his curly brown hair, wire-rimmed glasses and bushy mustache – is almost unrecognizable.
“All my life, all I wanted to do was invent new words for a song that already exists,” Radcliffe, as Yankovic, says in the trailer. From there, the trailer takes off – chronicling the bizarre rise of Weird Al, including a meeting scene with Madonna (played by Evan Rachel Wood).
The film, which also stars Quinta Brunson as Oprah Winfrey and Rainn Wilson as Dr. Demento, was first announced in January and will premiere in September at the Toronto International Film Festival. It will then be available to stream for free on The Roku Channel on November 4.
