Daniel Radcliffe is known for his role as Harry Potter in the world-famous “Harry Potter” franchise, but now fans can see him play another cultural icon: “Weird Al” Yankovic.
The teaser trailer for “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” a new biopic about the comedy singer, came on Tuesday.
And in the minute-long trailer, Daniel Radcliffe holds nothing back — screaming on stage while he plays the accordion and flips his mop of curly hair.
“What can I say, I’m full of surprises,” Daniel Radcliffe says, complete with clear-framed glasses straight from the 1980s.
The film was first announced in January, and both Yankovic and Eric Appel wrote this film. Yankovic said In a statement that he was “absolutely thrilled” about Daniel Radcliffe’s casting.
“I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for,” he said.
The film is set to be released this year on The Roku Channel.
The movie, according to a press release, “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.”
