André The Giant Movie is Coming Soon

Date:

Hollywood is making an André The Giant movie.

Good news for anyone that lives Andre The Giant and old school wrestling: Variety is reporting that a feature film based on the graphic novel based on the impossible life of the wrestler is now in development. The new movie will be based around André The Giant: Closer To HeavenFrom Variety:

Roussimoff’s daughter Robin Christensen-Roussimoff will consult on the film and assigned the exclusive rights for the biography to the producers.

“André the Giant rode the wave of the rise of wrestling in America, while suffering from the painful health condition of gigantism – there’s an Elephant Man story here,” Steindorff said.

“As a lifelong wrestling fan, I can say with conviction that no one was bigger than Andre,” said Lion Forge CEO David Steward II. “His presence and charisma were so powerful, and you could tell there was much more to him under the surface of his ring persona. It’s been an amazing experience telling that story in the book with Robin’s help. With all the spectacle, action, and emotion there on the page, a feature film just made perfect sense.”

The movie will most likely focus on the pro wrestler’s drinking skills, worldwide fame, late career and his tragic death.
