Lance Armstrong Movie

[DoubleA]

Wasnt quite sure where to put this, however there is a Lance Armstrong movie being filmed at the moment, with Matt Damon playing the Lance himself, and only a year after he retired.

The could Daniel Day Lewis to play Lance, they could call it "My Left Nut"..

 

[The Dice Man]

I see this as a cross between Cool Runnings and Requiem for a Dream.

Now it would be an interesting movie

It would be a very different movie in 2013 than what they would have contemplated making back in 2006. That's for bloody sure.

The Armstrong Lie is coming out soon. Basically, when Armstrong was making his comeback in 2009, he took along a doco maker to film it for a fly-on-the-wall 'insider's look' etc - you know the drill. Anyway, whn the lastest doping accusations blew up, he shelved it, and picked up the camera again when Lance confessed. Title changed from 'The Long Road Back' to The Armstrong Lie'. Sounds absolutely brilliant. Was going to be the standard Hollywood Sporting Fairytale, and turned into something a bit different..............................

The guy who made it is Alex Gibney who had made several of the 30:30 docos for ESPN.
