The first full trailer for the Daniel Radcliffe-starring \u2018Weird Al\u2019 Yankovic biopic WEIRD has been released \u2013 check it out below. The film \u2013 full title WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story \u2013 will be released via The Roku Channel on November 4 after a premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) next week (September 8). The Harry Potter actor will play the beloved comedian and musician in the film, which promises to follow Yankovic\u2019s life \u201cfrom his rise to fame in the music industry to his celebrity love affairs\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The new trailer, which follows a teaser trailer shared earlier this year, sees Radcliffe as \u2018Weird Al\u2019 as he writes \u2018My Bologna\u2019 and enters into a romantic relationship with Madonna (played by Evan Rachel Wood). Speaking about playing Yankovic, Radcliffe told The Hollywood Reporter: \u201cWearing the Hawaiian shirt is a huge responsibility that I don\u2019t take lightly, and I\u2019m honoured to finally share with the world the absolutely 100 per cent unassailably true story of Weird Al\u2019s depraved and scandalous life.\u201d \u201cWhen 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\u2019m very happy to say we\u2019re on schedule,\u201d Yankovic said in a previous statement.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd 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.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/212443307415400718\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2609_shop.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding -bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_20223\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/pEUIr4mYa5M?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_56082\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/xpSEECw0GBQ?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_28499\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/TDcwhfAtwPY?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DanJRadcliffeNL?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by DanJRadcliffeNL<\/a> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8216;WEIRD: The Weird Al Yankovic Story&#8217; promises to follow Yankovic\u2019s life &#8220;from his rise to fame in the music industry&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":28646,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[11],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-28646","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-hollywood"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28646","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=28646"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28646\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":28648,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28646\/revisions\/28648"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/28646"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=28646"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=28646"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.shows4.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=28646"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
