      That would be interesting. Because he’d play it completely straight. You’d be expecting the joke, but, nope, it’s just that Weird Al is Aragorn.

      Right? You’d be better off asking which movies wouldn’t be better? That’s a tricky question.

        UHF is the only movie that wouldn’t be better with Weird Al as the lead, because it’s already there.

      I want a movie based on the craziest shit Al has done in his life but told in a BJM parody called Being Al Yankovic.

        Do it as an alternate cut of Weird: The Al Yankovic_Story where he also plays other characters including Madonna.

    I would love to see him as a John Wick style character.

    Alternatively he and Jack Black could bring back the Blues Brothers

      Jack Black can only play Jack Black, which is not a Blues Brother. The Blues Brothers never lose their cool for one thing, Jack Black is never not over the top.

        I was more focused on him as a big guy that is athletic and can sing… but you’re probably right.

        We’re still workshopping here, lol.

        He is often hired to be Jack Black, but he is actually quite a good actor.

    All of Daniel Radcliffe’s movies. Guns Akimbo would be great. Also Weird Al at a magic school for kids sounds fun.

    Evil Dead 2. The original.

    Instead of a chain saw, he replaced his hand with a floppy accordion and smashes the tree demon on the head with it.
