Daniel Radcliffe was nervous about the release of “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” but it’s not what you may think. The English actor was concerned with what his in-laws would say. To be specific, the father of long-term partner Erin Darke who happens to be a very big “Weird” Al fan. “He really, really liked it, thank God,” Radcliffe says with a smile during a video call. “I’m safe to be part of the family.
In playing the role of Yankovic , Radcliffe took in the musician’s body of work, watching such films as “UHF,” digesting songs and music videos, and talking to Yankovic, who was on set during production. “The Al that Eric and Al wrote in this script is such a twisted version of the real Al. I sort of had permission to take the earnest sweetness that is very much in Al and channel that through this kind of demented, incredibly professional killer.
Appel shot the fast-moving production over 18 days with cinematographer Ross Riege, blocking scenes on the go for efficiency. “Both Ross and I came up from the same generation of filmmakers — a background that’s a little bit run-and-gun where you’re shooting and editing everything yourself,” says the director. “We had to make a lot of choices in prep to make our days. Our approach was to be as economical as possible with what we were shooting.
The entire sequence that has ‘Weird’ Al coming up with “Another One Rides the Bus” on the spot was shot in an afternoon.
