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. Plus, the trailer proves that Radcliffe really embraced the role as “Weird Al”, and live audiences at TIFF will be among the first to see the former Harry Potter star in all his accordion playing glory.
