Looks like Matt Damon is pegged for Lance.

Nominees for other parts? Are there two actors alive who are scummy enough to play Pat and Hein?

One of those roles is right in Gene Hackman's wheelhouse.

They need to get Martin Scorcese to direct. Figuratively, in the end Armstrong gets taken to a corn field and there waiting with baseball bats are Landis and Hamilton.

A dark, mob style movie could be made from this material.

Freddy Prince Jr as Hincapie
Steve Zahn as Landis
Sam Neil as Bruyneel
Tobey McGwire as Hamilton
Renee Zellwiger as Kristen, Anna Hansen, Ashley Olson, Armstrong's mother, Sheryl Crow, and Matthew McCoughneheyhoweveryouspellit.

never imagined a movie being made about this. though i should have known when some movie company bought rights to hungry hippo recently. i'd watch it

[tuxbailey]

They should use some CGI magic like the one in Captain America with Chris Evans. Before EPO, use CGI to make Matt Damon looks thinner. Then after EPO his Jason Borne physique shows up.

Remember those FRS ads by Lance in the back of magazines?

I think I just threw up a little.

Every biopic used to have Matthew McConnauaghghthingy listed to play LA, I gather that's changed now.

Hmmm, Stevie van Zandt as Hein Verbruggen, and for Pat McQuaid, some slippery obsequious never-was-nobody washed-up has-been who we've never heard of before.

I believe art imitates life, you see.

A lot of this "All Lance, All the Time" stuff is getting pretty old. And he has to deal with it 24/7 - I wonder if he ever gets tired of being himself?

If it weren't for all the lawsuits (which are going to happen anyway) I know I would be tempted to just open the front door one morning and scream "OK, I did it!!! I really did. Are you happy now? Will you please let me be?" But of course that would not be the end of it, though it might speed things along just a bit.

[rustychisel]

and Eric Bana to play George Hincapie.

Sean Penn as Joseba Beloki (a life sometimes on the skids, get it) and in what I think is pure genius

Greg Le Mond cameo as hard hitting investigative reporter Paul Kimmage; and Paul Kimmage as slightly embittered ex pro rider and TDF winner Greg Le Mond.

Oh goody! I have no doubt that Matt Damon is going to do an awesome job :banana:

Sharon Stone as Lance's Mom & Wives
Brilliant.

[John Price]

How about directed by Quentin Tarantino ? Now that'd be an interesting thought. Could be a Kill Lance/Kill Lance 2 thing or Lance Fiction ? Hmm.

Matt Damon as Lance? That requires Ben Affleck as George Hincapie.

And Roberto Heras should play himself. Because winning Brompton races won't pay the bills...

[echelon_john]

Rowan Atkinson for Heras...

[nahtnoj]

Sharon Stone as Lance's Mom & Wives


Its still worth checking in here from time to time.

Isn't this backwards? He got skinnier to win the TdF.

[Hawker]

It's hard for me to believe that this will still become a movie after all that's happened. It's no longer a feel-good story and with all that's happened now...just can't see it appealing to a large enough audience to make a substantial profit.

[Black Dog]

This guy as Lance. Channing Tatum.

[sc53]

Nick Nolte as both Pat McQuaid and Hein Verbruggen.

Wait...chinning tater's a dude?? Man, I always thought it was a chick, since I heard all kinds of chick-flick refs being attributed to that name...but with a scrabble-worthy name like that, who's to know :cool:
