The musician biopic is a staple for big studios. While they are often formulaic, the films offer fans a chance to connect to the artist behind the music. Funny or Die, the comedy video website founded by Will Ferrell, recently released this trailer for a fictional biopic on Weird Al Yankovic called Weird: The Al Yankovic Story. Patton Oswalt and Gary Cooper are among an all-star cast of comedians and actors who briefly lend their talents to this hilarious imagining of a biopic for the Hawaiian shirt-clad music parody king.
That wish this was a real movie. Superb!
