1st look at Quinta Brunson as Oprah Winfrey in the 'Weird Al' Yankovic biopic
Just when you thought the upcoming "Weird Al" Yankovic biopic couldn't get any better, we now have a first-look image of Quinta Brunson as Oprah Winfrey.
The Emmy-nominated "Abbott Elementary" creator and star can be seen as the daytime talk show icon in a newly released image from the upcoming film "Weird: The Al Yankovic Story," which is set to debut this fall on Roku.
In the photo, Brunson is seen standing alongside Daniel Radcliffe, who plays Yankovic, in what appears to be the comedy musician's Hawaiian shirt-filled walk-in closet.
"Weird: The Al Yankovic Story" is directed by Eric Appel and co-written by Appel and Yankovic himself.
The film is hilariously and not-so-humbly described by Roku as an "unexaggerated true story about the greatest musician of our time."
"From a conventional upbringing where playing the accordion was a sin, Al rebelled and made his dream of changing the words to world-renowned songs come true," the official movie synopsis reads. "An instant success and sex symbol, Al lives an excessive lifestyle and pursues an infamous romance that nearly destroys him."
Evan Rachel Wood also stars in the biopic as Madonna. The film's teaser trailer featured the memorable parody of Madonna's "Like a Virgin," which Yankovic turned into "Like a Surgeon."
