Wiki.

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is a 2022 American biographical musical parody film directed by Eric Appel (in his feature directorial debut), who co-wrote the screenplay with Al Yankovic. The film is a satire of biopics and is loosely based on Yankovic's life and career as an accordionist and parody songwriter. It stars Daniel Radcliffe as Yankovic, along with Evan Rachel Wood, Rainn Wilson, Toby Huss and Julianne Nicholson in supporting roles.

A fake trailer for a satirical biographical film was produced by Appel for Funny or Die in 2010. Yankovic showed the trailer at his concerts, which led to fans questioning when the full-length film would be made and leading Appel and Yankovic to develop the film's concept together. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story was filmed on a budget of around $8 million over eighteen days between February and March 2022. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2022, and was released on The Roku Channel on November 4, 2022. The film received positive reviews, with particular praise for its humor and Radcliffe's performance.

The film was nominated for two Emmy Awards at the 75th Primetime Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Lead Actor in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Radcliffe and Outstanding Writing for a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for Yankovic and Appel. It also won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Television Movie.
