Evan Rachel Wood: Photo by Vera Anderson/WireImage.
With the announcement of the Weird Al Yankovic biopic, photos have slowly started to come out online showing us a preview of some of the “transformations” of the stars of the upcoming Roku exclusive film. Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter….duh), who is set to star at the titular Weird Al, has been scene onset in the iconic Hawaiian shirt that Weird Al is known to wear along with Weird Al’s former mustache and curly out afro that he would have back in the 90’s and early 00’s.
Along with Radcliffe, Evan Rachel Wood has been cast as the Material Girl herself, Madonna. Weird Al of course did a version of “Like A Virgin”, with Madonna’s permission of course, and rumor has it that she even coined the title “Like a Surgeon”
In addition to Wood portraying Madonna in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story, The Office’s Rainn Wilson has also been cast as a legendary bizarro radio host (and “Weird Al” mentor) Dr. Demento, while Toby Huss and Julianne Nicholson will play Yankovic’s parents Nick and Mary.
