Daniel Radcliffe Is About To Get WEIRD

[Peter Paltridge]

The thing about the trailer for the new movie WEIRD is that half of it goes under the assumption you don’t know what’s coming — which would only be true in a theater (WEIRD is not a theatrical movie). On the Internet you have to physically go to a site that displays everything about the movie, which you see before you click the Youtube embed. The trailer hypes that you’re about to witness the true story of a musical legend with six platinum albums and five Grammys, while footage of thousands of screaming purple-lighted concert fans plays.

This is incrediible! I love Weird Al and I love Daniel Radcliffe. But if you had told that in the year 2022 they were going to release a movie about Weird Al and Daniel Radcliffee would be playing the main character, I would have laughed and said: "NO WAY!!" But isn't it obvious that ... I am not very good at making predictions. LOL.
