That Chris Farley biopic is happening... this is NOT a drill!!
A Chris Farley biopic is in the works, with Josh Gad set to direct.
In the hot package being shopped around town, Emmy, Critics’ Choice, and Golden Globe Award winner Paul Walter Hauser is attached to star as the legendary comedian. There’s no word yet on where the project will land, but it’s sure to attract a slew of bidders.
The film will adapt best-selling biography “The Chris Farley Show: A Biography in Three Acts” by Tom Farley Jr. and Tanner Colby, with Lorne Michaels producing via Broadway Video.
Oscar and Emmy nominees Scott Neustadter & Michael H. Weber (“The Disaster Artist,” “Daisy Jones & the Six”) will write the screenplay.
The project has the blessing of the Farley family.
