| Summary |
Daniel Radcliffe (The Lost City, Swiss Army Man, the Harry Potter films) is Weird Al Yankovic in the unexaggerated true story about the greatest musician and sex symbol of our time. The film also stars Evan Rachel Wood (Westworld, Across the Universe) as Madonna and Rainn Wilson (The Office, The Meg) as Dr. Demento. From the big screen to Broadway, the telling of music stars lives is all the rage. Now comes the outrageous biopic of the unique artist who gained fame and fortune by parodying hit songs. A true-life story about the man who turned twisting popular lyrics into a hugely successful career had to be equally twisted, befitting the man, the myth, the legend known to the world as Weird Al Yankovic. |
