‘WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story’ to Premiere at TIFF in the Midnight Madness Category

Today, we can report that the ‘Weird Al’ Yankovic biopic of sorts, WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story, will be playing the 2022 Toronto International Film Festival. The movie will be a part of the Midnight Madness category, allowing it to have a unique and potentially very successful showcase. This continues the very interesting additions to TIFF, as we prepare for a big festival season.

WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story stars Daniel Radcliffe and Evan Rachel Wood, with the former playing Yankovic. Eric Appel directs, while he shares a screenplay credit with Yankovic himself. Joey will be on the ground at TIFF, so if/when he sees the film, look for his take!

Written by Steven Prusakowski

Steven Prusakowski has been a cinephile as far back as he can remember, literally. At the age of ten, while other kids his age were sleeping, he was up into the late hours of the night watching the Oscars. Since then, his passion for film, television, and awards has only grown. For over a decade he has reviewed and written about entertainment through publications including Awards Circuit and Screen Radar. He has conducted interviews with some of the best in the business - learning more about them, their projects and their crafts. He is a graduate of the RIT film program. You can find him on Twitter and Letterboxd as @FilmSnork – we don’t know why the name, but he seems to be sticking to it.
