This past February, Bill Simmons announced he had teamed up with WWE, HBO Sports and producer/director Jason Hehir to create a documentary about former wrestler, actor and larger-than-life personality Andre the Giant.

On Friday, HBO tweeted an official trailer for the piece.

The quick look at Andre the Giant includes brief snippets of in-ring action from the former champion's historic wrestling career. It also describes his "mythological" stature as an athlete and famous figure.

Per HBO, the film will debut next spring.
