Okay, so maybe his life wasn’t precisely the standard rags-to-riches-to-rags story of most music biopraphies. In a approach that’s what makes him good for this biopic parody movie, which stars none aside from Daniel Radcliffe because the title character. (Sure, Daniel Radcliffe’s profession arc is “Harry Potter for a decade, then different stuff, then “Bizarre Al” Yankovic.” The person resides the dream.)

The venture originated at Humorous or Die, the place a number of years in the past Eric Appel made a brief movie with the identical title as a parody of musical biopics. That model starred Aaron Paul as Yankovic. The brand new movie will presumably keep the identical premise, however increase it to characteristic size. (Appel is directing the Bizarre characteristic as properly.)
Right here is the movie’s official synopsis:
