Prior to the Vince McMahon documentary, Simmons has been attached to the Andre The Giant documentary for HBO. It was noted how the deal is groundbreaking for WWE as it is one of the highest-budgeted documentaries in the history of Netflix, as per the statements of Khan. There’s no update on the exact budget of the film, though.
We can expect the documentary is going to be an epic one where they could really dig down the life of the WWE Chairman. Meanwhile, this upcoming film has no connection with the earlier announced Vince McMahon biopic that was announced back in 2017. That project which was listed to be a feature film was reportedly canceled.
Titled “Pandemonium,” the movie was expected to star Bradley Cooper as Vince. Tristar Pictures was to release the movie while it had a shooting scheduled in the spring of 2018. “Pandemonium” script was created by Craig A. Williams back in 2015 that went through changes after WWE Studios got involved.
John Requa and Glenn Ficarra were supposed to be the directors for the movie, while Zaftig Films’ Charlie Gogolak was about to serve as the executive producer. Aperture Entertainment’s Adam Goldworn was to be the producer along with WWE Studios.
