An independent feature film based on the life of WWE legend Andre the Giant called "'Andre: Heart of the Giant" will be released in select theaters starting on Friday, October 10.
If you watch the trailer for the movie below, you'll see they actually have actors portraying other wrestling personalities including The Junkyard Dog, Bruno Sammartino, and last but not least, Vince McMahon.
The Junkyard Dog character, who is simply called "Junkyard," is obese, has a gray hair, wears a big chain and tells Andre he's on his way to Hollywood. The Bruno Sammartino character is called "Bruno," has a thick Italian accent, and is shown teaching him a wrestling hold at the conclusion of the trailer. The Vince McMahon character is called "Vince" and the actor is portraying him from the 1970s what with his trademark canary yellow suit. There's a scene in the trailer in which the actor does his best Vince imitation. In Vince's voice he says, "When I saw Andre the Giant on that TV set, I was blown away. Oh my God." I believe this is the first time Vince McMahon has ever been portrayed in a movie, but if he saw this actor playing him, he'd probably get angry.
According to the movie's entry on Wikipedia, other wrestlers are portrayed in the movie including Terry Funk, Adrian Adonis, and Edouard Carpentier. The actor portraying Vince McMahon, Rokki James Hollywood, is the brains behind the movie as he is the director.
The movie has been in the works for over three years, but is only just now being released. The original actor cast as Andre, 7' 6" Matthew McGrory, died on August 9, 2005. He filmed a few scenes and they will be featured during the credit sequence as a tribute to him.
