Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Untitled Lance Armstrong Project Starring Matt Damon

I was perusing through IMDB seeing when the Bourne Ultimatum comes out and I happened upon this:

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0760328/fullcredits

Pretty neat, I guess if anyone is going to play Lance Armstrong it should be Matt Damon. The only bad thing is his face is so recognisable that it will be hard to convince people no matter how good the acting is.

That sounds SOOO cool!

I hope they get really creative with this and like have someone put a bomb on Lance's bike that will explode if he rides slower than 50 mph during the Tour de France, or Jan Ulrich is actually a terrorist planning on assinating the queen with exploding water bottles and Lance has to chase him down and they have a fast action kung fu battle while descending a steep hill on their bikes!

Instead of cancer he will have DOUBLE cancer!

This will be the greatest athlete movie since Gymkata!

So if Lance is listed as being in the cast, who is he going to play? Is Ben Affleck going to play George or Frankie?

This is getting stupid. Lance is 33 and already he's got a movie about his life. They used to wait for you to die. Next thing you know, they'll just film it as you're doing it...oh, wait, we've got that, it's called "reality tv." Making "celebrities" everywhere. Warhol would be proud.

Hey... Gymkata was cool. lol

The lance movie will be like Rudy. Only instead of being the nice kid everyone roots for, he'll just be an arrogant ass.


....did I say that out loud?

I agree that its too early for a movie like this.... Other cast recommendations

Floyd Landis - Kid Rock
Tyler Hamilton - Tyler Hamilton (what, its not like he has a race)
George Hincapie - John Travolta
Johan Brunyeel - Ben Affleck (Johan can't speak in english, affleck can't act in english)
Jan Ullrich - Robert Downey Jr.
Ivan Basso - Benecio Del Toro (he's the master of the 'drug' roles)
Levi Leipheimer - Bruce Willis
Dave Zabriskie - Elijah Wood
Bobby Julich - Al Pacino

HAHAHAHAHHAAHAA!!! This is funny!!! and then He and Sheryl exchange shirts "like in the olympics" and Ullrich is there, but Sheryl wants to hit him with a big rock, and then the rock shows up again in a scene while their driving in a van, but its not the same rock, and then Ullrich gives Lance "the Chin" see... before the was "the look", there was "The Chin" by Barry Muzin.

Matt Damon!!?? That is horrible! I mean [team america voice]Matt Damon[/team america voice] I don't even know what to say..

I do agree it's too early, though I would like to see a little something just for educational purposes I don't think it's going to be the time for a movie any time in the next 10 years.

not to spoil the party, but Damon has been linked to the film for a few years now.

Cyclo Clops. Have you ever visited Hollywood with any of your scripts. You have potential. Sounds like an ideal producer would be Sylvester Stallone. His kind of stuff.
Matt Damon. Not believable to me. Wonder if he rides? Does not have a cyclists appearance.Not lean enough.
Armstrong movie. Why not. HOw many 911 movies are in production.

10 years? In 10 years the vast majority of the American public will have forgotten who Lance Armstrong is. You have to make this movie now or it won't make a dime.
