Chris Farley Biopic in the Works

Actor Paul Walter Hauser will star as Farley and the movie will be directed by Josh Gad and produced by Lorne Michaels. I'm a huge 90s SNL fan but man this is gonna be a sad movie to watch.

SAD BUT WELL DESERVED...FARLEY WAS SUCH A FORCE...HIS DEATH IS ONE OF THE TRUE HEARTBREAKING MOMENTS OF MODERN HOLLYWOOD.

It should honor his legacy but I hope it doesn't gloss over the dark subject matter with his drinking and drug use.

HE GREW UP IDOLIZING BELUSHI AND THEN FOLLOWE THE SAME PATH...INCLUDING THE DARKNESS...I SERIOUSLY HOPE NO ONE INVOLVED HAS GLOSS JOB IN MIND...THAT WOULD BE A SERIOUS DISSERVICE TO FARLEY AND HIS LEGACY.

Something new from Hollywood ? Wow... amazing !!! /end sarcasm.

This should be interesting.

i bet that coneheads red hot chilli pepper song is used in the movie.

could be titled van down by the river or the chris farley show.

they will have to cast other snl members like sandler and hartman. should be fascinating. the snl 75 movie doing that as well.

I love Soul to Squeeze. It's my favorite Red Hot Chilli Peppers song.

reply

This will be interesting. I love Farley and Paul Walter Hauser is a great actor. Never seen him give a bad performance.

reply

THIS IS GOING TO BE A MUCH MORE ENERGETIC PERFORMANCE THAN I AM USED TO FROM HIM...I ASSUME...BASED ON FARLEY'S PERSONALITY.

reply

There are a couple scenes in Cobra Kai were Paul is definitely at Chris Farley levels of energy. I think he can do it.

reply

AWESOME...I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS.

I would've picked Will Sasso. But Hauser is good, too.
