A film about Weird Al is a go, and Harry Potter star Radcliffe is the star.

About time they made a movie about this underappreciated man.

OK, but it can't possibly live up to this unmade project.

"The biopic holds nothing back, exploring every facet of Yankovic's life, from his meteoric rise to fame with early hits like 'Eat It' and 'Like a Surgeon' to his torrid celebrity love affairs and famously depraved lifestyle," reads the film's official release. "WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story takes audiences on a truly unbelievable journey through Yankovic's life and career, from gifted child prodigy to the greatest musical legend of all time."

Quote
"When my last movie UHF came out in 1989, I made a solemn vow to my fans that I would release a major motion picture every 33 years, like clockwork. I'm very happy to say we're on schedule," Yankovic said in a statement. "And I am absolutely thrilled that Daniel Radcliffe will be portraying me in the film. I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the role future generations will remember him for."
Well, I'm sold.

I'm certain he and Dr. Demento get a mention at some point.

It's this, but feature length.  Same writer, with Al on board as co-writer and producer.
