"It's almost like the whole room moved when he walked through the crowd." HBO has debuted the second trailer for the documentary titled Andre the Giant, airing in April. The film profiles the life and career of professional wrestler André Roussimoff, who gained notoriety in the 1980s as "Andre the Giant". This HBO Sports documentary, made by "30 for 30" filmmaker Jason Hehir, is an "ambitious, wide-ranging film" that explores Andre's upbringing in France, and his celebrated wrestling career in the WWE. We posted the first trailer for this in January, and it looks like a must-see main event for sports fans, especially wrestling fans. He was in The Princess Bride, and the film has interviews with Rob Reiner, Billy Crystal, and Robin Wright. Born in 1946 in France, André was diagnosed with acromegaly in his twenties, and he passed away in 1993.
