Weird: The Al Yankovic Story

Daniel Radcliffe plays the prolific musician behind humorous songs like “Eat It” and “Amish Paradise.”

Eric Appel directs the biopic for The Roku Channel that also stars Evan Rachel Wood.

The movie will have world premiere on September 8 at TIFF at the Royal Alexandra Theater.

“I couldn’t have hoped for a more appropriate opening night film than Weird: The Al Yankovic Story — a beautifully deranged biopic made in the great Midnight movie tradition of challenging conventions and forging one’s own path, no matter how weird,” Midnight Madness curator Peter Kuplowsky said in  statement.
