Weird: The Al Yankovic Story will premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival as part of the Midnight Madness program. The film will screen on opening night, September 8. The full schedule will be released on August 23 according to the TIFF website.
Quinta Brunson channels her inner talk-show host to portray Oprah Winfrey in Roku’s “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” starring, Daniel Radcliffe, as the frizzy-haired musical parodist.
The movie is billed as “the unexaggerated true story about the greatest musician of our time.” “Weird,” which has a runtime of 108 minutes, is slated to premiere on the free, ad-supported Roku Channel this fall.
Brunson is the latest cast member announced for “Weird,” which in addition to Radcliffe stars Evan Rachel Wood as Madonna; Rainn Wilson as radio broadcaster Dr. Demento; and Julianne Nicholson and Toby Huss as Yankovic’s parents, Mary and Nick.
Quinta played in Miracle Workers with Dan in Season 3 as the gun slinging rebel Trig.
American Dad, Miracle Workers and Snowpiercer Among TBS/TNT Series in Limbo Amid Scripted Exodus
Believed to be the cabler’s last remaining live-action comedy, Miracle Workers was renewed for Season 4 in November — also pre-merger. The pickup was announced in tandem with a series order for Damon Wayans Jr. comedy Kill the Orange-Faced Bear… which was subsequently killed by WBD in April, just a week out from production.
While the Daniel Radcliffe/Steve Buscemi anthology is currently shooting Season 4, it seems unlikely the new episodes will air on TBS. But there is hope: Unlike Chad and Snowpiercer, Miracle Workers has not disappeared from HBO Max, signaling a potential jump to the streamer.
