The actor recently revealed at the Toronto International Film Festival that the movie is expected to go into production by 2026. Gad will direct the project, with Paul Walter Hauser set to star as the iconic comedian and actor.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"mb-4 text-xl font-bold md:text-2xl\">Josh Gad plans to shoot the Chris Farley biopic \u2018early next year\u2019<\/h2>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.comingsoon.net\/guides\/news\/1976879-josh-gad-net-worth-2025-how-much-money-make-earn\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Josh Gad;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Josh Gad<\/a> recently discussed his plans for the Chris Farley biopic during an appearance at the Toronto International Film Festival. He spoke with <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ew.com\/josh-gad-offers-update-on-chris-farley-biopic-exclusive-11804946\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:EW;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">EW<\/a> and gave an update on the project, confirming that it is still moving forward. By Gad\u2019s description, it appears to be a substantial undertaking.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cIt\u2019s ambitious as hell,\u201d Gad said. \u201cWe\u2019re trying to rein in the budget a little, and the plan is still to shoot early next year.\u201d With concerns about Paul Walter Hauser turning too old to portray Farley, who passed away at the age of 33, Gad emphasized that they are ready to begin filming within the first quarter of 2026.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">\u201cI\u2019m in the midst of going through the script right now with the studio, who\u2019s been incredibly supportive about finding those things that can reduce it to a greenlight-able budget because, right now, it\u2019s a period piece, it\u2019s a biopic, it\u2019s just super big, and we\u2019re just working towards doing this to it, and I think we\u2019re getting there,\u201d Gad added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Michael H. Weber and Scott Neustadter are writing the script. Meanwhile, Hauser is preparing months in advance to take on this iconic role. The movie remains in the early stages.
