  • Andre The Giant film in development

    Variety is reporting that Stone Village Productions and Lion Forge Comics are developing an Andre The Giant film based on the 2015 Graphic novel biography, Andre The Giant: Closer to Heaven.

    The biography covers his early farm life in France and his rise to celebrity status through pro wrestling. Andre’s daughter, Robin Christensen-Roussimoff, will be involved with the production as a consultant.

    Andre is widely regarded as one of the biggest stars in the wrestling business, and eventually became a household name. He was successful in crossing over into Hollywood and had a major role in the 1987 Rob Reiner film he Princess Bride. In the late 80s, Andre had a memorable feud with Hulk Hogan and they headlined Wrestlemania III in front of one of the largest wrestling audiences of all time.

    Andre died on January 27, 1993, after his health had worsened due to issues related to his gigantism. He was the first person inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, created shortly after his death in 1993. He was the solo inductee that year.
