Things are about to get weird. Daniel Radcliffe is set to star in the all-new feature film WEIRD: The @AlYankovic Story, a Roku Original based on the career of the Grammy-winning musician and pop cultural icon. pic.twitter.com/ZNHOP3eJFv
If you thought that Daniel Radcliffe’s greatest role was Harry Potter, you were wrong. That is because today, Roku announced that he will be playing the title role in Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. The actor better be prepared for awards season because he is going to win them all, including best actress!
“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,” said Yankovic. “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.”
As you can tell, this is going to be a very serious biopic about the Schlock Rocker. That is why Weird Al teamed up with Funny or Die’s Eric Apple, who is writing the film with the singer and directing it. “When Weird Al first sat me down against my will and told me his life story, I didn’t believe any of it, but I knew that we had to make a movie about it,” Appel said.
I can’t wait to see how they tell Weird Al’s story. Actually, I am more excited to see Radcliffe will look with a curly wig and mustache. That is going to make it all worth it.
For the first season of Miracle Workers, they were in heaven, and Steve Buscemi was Gd. Then, for season 2, they were in the middle ages, and he picked up human sh!t. Starting tonight at 10:30p on TBS, they are on the Oregon Trail.
The year is 1844, and Father Ezekiel Brown’s (Daniel Radcliffe) flock is plagued by cholera and dying crops. Therefore, he tells them that they should leave their homes and travel west on the Oregon Trail. At first, they are hesitant. That is until a stranger says he will take them on the journey.
Jim Nobody (Buscemi) offers up his services. But he has a secret. He is really Benny the Teen, a known killer and thief.
What will they do when they find that Nobody is a somebody? They will have to carry on as they travel in horse and carriage to their new home.
If you have not seen the first two seasons of Miracle Workers, then you are missing out. Think of it as a witty Naked Gun-like show. You have to pay to catch the jokes, which is hard when you are laughing so hard.
I have only seen the season premiere and can’t wait to see what other mayhem they get into this season. Whatever it is, I know it will be wrong and funny at the same time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPNqE1CX95w Johnny Depp lost his libel case against The Sun this week over claims of physically abusing his ex-wife, Amber Heard. Today, he announced that he lost more than that. He also lost his job on the Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts.
In light of recent events, I would like to make the following short statement.
Firstly, I’d like to thank everybody who has gifted me with their support and loyalty.
I have been humbled and moved by your many messages of love and concern, particularly over the last few days.
Secondly, I wish to let you know that I have been asked to resign by Warner Bros. from my role as Grindelwald in Fantastic Beasts and I have respected and agreed to that request.
Finally, I wish to say this.
The surreal judgement of the court in the W.K. will not change my fight to tell the truth and I confirm that I plan to appeal.
My resolve remains strong and I intend to prove that the allegations against me are false. My life and career will not be defined by this moment in time.
Thank you for reading.
Sincerely,
Johnny Depp
Warner Bros says they will recast his role for the third movie that is already in production.
Personally, I think it is a mistake. There is so much to this story, and Depp has done so much good for others.
When it comes to Warner Bros’ decision, I am not surprised. Fans of the series never approved of him in the role. This was their way out.
TBS is bringing back Miracle Workers for a third season, and they are doing a time jump. The first season of the anthology series took place in heaven with Steve Buscemi playing Gd. In the second season, he came down to earth during medieval times, and he was demoted to a sh!t shoveler.
What will he be doing during the third season? TBS says, “Set in the year 1844, the new season of MIRACLE WORKERS will follow an idealistic small-town preacher (Daniel Radcliffe) who teams up with a wanted outlaw (Buscemi) and a liberated prairie wife (Geraldine Viswanathan) to lead a wagon train west on the Oregon Trail across an American landscape which, much like today, is fraught with both promise and peril.”
Radcliffe went from a worker in heaven to a Prince and now is a preacher. I cannot wait to see what they do to both men for the fourth season.
Before we get there, you need to watch all the other seasons. Not because you won’t be able to follow the show if you don’t. You need to watch it because they do some of the funniest things you will ever see on television. I mean, how can you not want to watch a show with a sh!t shoveler?
J.K. Rowling sent a cryptic tweet which makes us wonder what is next in the world of Harry Potter. The author posted the above photo of Voldemort’s dark mark and wrote, “Sometimes, darkness comes from unexpected places #HarryPotter #CursedChild”
What that means, has fans guessing. Is it a new play? A new book? Merchandise? We don’t know. We do know we cannot wait to find out what is next for the Harry Potter franchise.
