Lorne Michaels will produce the movie, which is based on The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts.
Josh Gad is set to direct an upcoming biopic based on the life of comedian Chris Farley . Adapted from The Chris Farley Show: A Bigoraphy in Three Acts, the as-yet-untitled movie will be produced by Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels and written by Scott Neustadter and Michael H. Weber. Actor, comedian, and wrestler Paul Walter Hauser is reportedly attached to star as Farley.
The movie will be based on the biography written by Farley's brother Tom Farley Jr. and pop culture writer Tanner Colby, and Deadline -- who first reported on the project -- says the Farley family is supportive of the film. His size would be a constant concern and bone of contention; former SNL writer and comedy icon Bob Odenkirk wrote in his memoir that he hated one of Farley's most beloved sketches.
