According to Variety, a biopic about the life of professional wrestling icon Andre Roussimoff (better known as Andre The Giant) is in the works. In a slightly unique twist for a biopic, though, the film will be based on Andre The Giant: Closer To Heaven, an officially authorized graphic novel biography by Brandon Easton and Denis Medri. That book follows Roussimoff’s life from his childhood in France working on the family farm to his rise through the professional wrestling ranks—alongside the rise of professional wrestling itself, which Variety notes is “due in large part to Andre The Giant’s celebrity.”
