What's next for Lance Armstrong? The news feed says a major motion picture is in the works.
According to Deadline.com, Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot partners JJ Abrams and Bryan Burk are going to make a movie about the epic rise and fall of doping bicyclist Lance Armstrong. They’ve just closed a deal for screen rights to Cycle Of Lies: The Fall Of Lance Armstrong, a proposal for a book that will be written by Juliet Macur for HarperCollins. Macur is a sports reporter for The New York Times, and she has covered Armstrong for over a decade, through the cyclist’s recovery from deadly cancer to his capturing seven Tour de France title, and covering the doping allegations.

Okay, no more Lance postings, I promise.
Oh man. A Lance movie. I think endurance athletes might be torn on whether to view/support it or not. I love the Icarus allusion. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'm thinking Kate Hudson as Sheryl Crow,Patrick Dempsey as Lance.
ReplyDeleteI will still go see the movie, but this is just terrible.
ReplyDeleteWhy not Mark Wahlberg for lance?
