On
who could play her father, Andre the Giant, in this
upcoming film:
Robin:
It will be a live action movie. Who’s going
to play my Dad? I think I’ll leave that to
the professionals. We are going to have to get a
character actor, obviously. I don’t know how
they are going to do it exactly. They might do somebody
that is tall enough for visual and then have someone do
the voice. I don’t know if it’s going
to be digital or practical make-up. It will be interesting.
He had such a unique look. He had such a unique
voice. They are really going to need to pull out
a lot of special effects for this.
On
potential cameos from wrestlers Andre worked with
or cast members from The Princess Bride:
Robin:
I would say the chances are probably pretty high.
The Princess Bride was such a big thing in his life
and his career. They are going to have to have other
wrestlers depicted in this. I would say there is
a pretty good chance. I am sure they will find people
to portray them. I don’t know that it will
actually be them.
On
who she would like to see direct the movie:
Robin:
My personal choice, in my geekdom, is Joss Whedon.
He’s just got such an interesting view of
things that I think he could make it a lot of fun.
That’s my personal pick but I don’t
know who they have in mind.
On
when the movie could be in theaters:
Robin:
It’s going to be a couple of years. They are
still finalizing the script and the director. They
still have to cast. It’s going to be a couple
of years.
