It’s official: Weird: The Al Yankovic Story will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival.

The upcoming biopic starring Daniel Radcliffe as “Weird Al” Yankovic is set for general release November 4 on the Roku Channel. However, today Yankovic announced on Twitter that it will premiere on the opening night of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF).

The film will follow Yankovic throughout his career and fans can look forward to seeing the whole story from the performer’s perspective.
