Bill Simmons Andre The Giant Documentary Not Happening
Sports Illustrated’s website recently published an article with ESPN’s new public editor Jim Brady. In the interview Brady had the following to say about the rumored Andre the Giant documentary Bill Simmons is making for HBO:
The fascinating life of André René Roussimoff would make for a great documentary but last week’s report that Bill Simmons and well-respected sports documentarian Jon Hock have teamed up for an HBO doc on wrestling icon Andre The Giant is false. Reached on Thursday by SI.com, Hock confirmed that he’s never talked to Simmons or HBO about such a project and he is not working on any Andre The Giant film. He did say he remains close with Simmons and enjoyed making the New York Post’s popular Page Six column.
