'Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong' - A Bad Robot Film

[Walts Ghost]

Paramount and J.J. Abrams’ Bad Robot Teaming for Lance Armstrong Cheating Scandal Film

A Lance Armstrong movie is indeed moving forward, but it’s probably not the one that the famous cyclist had in mind. A biopic of the seven-time Tour de France champion had been in development for a quite a while with Matt Damon and Jake Gyllenhaal involved in the project at different times, but now following Armstrong’s confession regarding doping charges, a feature film is in the works that focuses on the darker side of the cyclist’s life. Deadline reports that J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk have acquired the screen rights to the book proposal Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong by author Juliet Macur.

It’s unclear in what capacity Abrams and Burk will be involved, but one assumes they’re solely onboard as producers. Paramount Pictures and Abrams and Burke’s Bad Robot will produce the film, which is likely to draw a considerable amount of attention.

Sounds like a bad television movie.

Lance will know his image has taken a serious hit if people start floating Mickey Rourke for this.

That didn't take long. Someone screws up or admits to something. Quickly make a film about this mans life!

It's like some people just wait for others to screw up so they can make a movie about it.

Problem is Lance is still lying.

It's ridiculous.

And I bet this movie never gets released. It will go into turnaround. Armstrong simply isn't that interesting even considering the cancer and the doping story. Besides, we already know the story. By the time they can get the movie done, this will be old, old news and no one would care.

Even if the movie got released the day after the Oprah interview, I'm not sure there would be enough of an audience. And as someone else noted, it does sound like a TV movie.
