The new WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY trailer hits all the usual biopic tropes on purpose in a parody story for the artist whose claim to fame is parodying popular songs. Evan Rachel Wood stars as Madonna who took him down the wrong path but that may be a running joke. Watch the very funny trailer for the movie which will premiere on the Roku Channel on November 4.
WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY also stars Rainn Wilson, Julianne Nicholson and Quinta Brunson playing Oprah Winfrey.
Al Yankovic is half of the writing team along with director Eric Appel.
