The director of Fanboys has come aboard to direct the Star Wars-themed biopic Chewie.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Kyle Newman has secured the screen rights to the life of actor Peter Mayhew, who portrayed Chewbacca in the Star Wars films. Newman intends on further developing the hot spec script by Evan Susser and Van Robichaux, which was picked up by Inferno Entertainment.
Chewie chronicles Mayhew's early years as a struggling actor who worked as a hospital worker before finding fame playing Han Solo's Wookie sidekick and sees the making of George Lucas' sci-fi saga through his eyes.
