HBO Sports in association with WWE and The Ringer will release and Andre the Giant documentary on April 10 of this year. To get the hype train rolling, HBO released a new 2-minute trailer Friday afternoon.

This new sneak peak flashed interviews with Billy Crystal, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Hulk Hogan and Vince McMahon. Needless to say, all signs point to this being a poignant watch.

Coming on the heels of a highly successful Ric Flair documentary made by ESPN, HBO, and the Ringer's film will come with lofty expectations. However, The Ringer published a quick blurb along with the trailer that sounds all too promising.

"Andre the Giant was — literally — the biggest professional athlete in the world for decades. He was larger than life: From his exploits in the ring to the stories of his drinking, reality could hardly contain Andre. Featuring original interviews with everyone who was a part of his expansive life, from Vince McMahon, to Rob Reiner, to Andre's brothers in France, Jason Hehir's new film explores the life — in full — of the man who casts the biggest shadow in the history of sports and culture. It premieres on HBO in April 2018."

Mark your calendars!
