The Beach Boys star died in California in 1983, shortly after the release of his solo album Pacific Ocean Blue.
Miller and Savin, who wrote and directed Bottle Shock, will produce the film with the help of the drummer's daughter Jennifer.
According to Yahoo, Miller said: "Dennis was a pained and tortured soul, yet brilliant and loved dearly by so many who knew him. This film has the makings of a tour-de-force performance in the hands of the right actor.
"As a director, I search for stories that expose the soul of a character in new territories that excite me as a filmmaker."
He added: "The soundtrack will feature Dennis's music from Pacific Ocean Blue as well as previously unreleased Dennis Wilson music and music from the Beach Boys as well."
Casting details have yet to be announced.
