Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a Roku Original film starring Daniel Radcliffe as "Weird Al" Yankovic in the unexaggerated true story about the greatest musician of our time. 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. 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 my last movie UHF came out in 1989, I made a solemn vow to my fans that I would release a major motion picture every 33 years, like clockwork. I'm very happy to say we're on schedule," said Yankovic. "And I am absolutely thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe will be portraying me in the film. I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for."
Weird: The Al Yankovic Story Original Soundtrack features 46 tracks - a mix of newly-recorded classic Weird Al parodies, a new Weird Al original ("Now You Know"), various other artists' tracks, and the film's orchestral score by Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson (the team behind the score for the Netflix blockbuster Cobra Kai) on two glorious hot pink LPs.
"Weird Al" Yankovic is the biggest-selling comedy recording artist of all time. A five-time Grammy winner, his 2014 release Mandatory Fun was the first comedy album in history to debut at #1 on Billboard's Top 200. He is one of only three artists to have had their own top 40 hits in each of the last four decades (the other two being Michael Jackson and Madonna). On August 27, 2018, the Hollywood Chamber of Commerce awarded Weird Al with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
