We previously mentioned that Bradley Cooper was interested in playing Lance Armstrong in the upcoming biopic helmed by director J.J. Abrams.

That apparently is totally false.

At Sunday's SAG Awards, Bradley was interviewed about the biopic rumors and said:

Ahmayzing director J.J. Abrams is going to be behind the Lance Armstrong biopic.

With such a great director telling this story, who better to play the lead than Oscar nominee Bradley Cooper??

No one! We think he'd be perfect!

Have you been sitting around, just waiting for some news about the Jackie Robinson biopic, 42??

Well you're in luck! They've just released a new, longer trailer!

In case you're unfamiliar, we already mentioned that Harrison Ford was going to be starring in the film.

And no, not as the lead. Ha!

The movie is about Jackie Robinson, the African American sports star who broke the color barrier in baseball.

Looks like an action packed, heart-warming, dramatic movie. The perfect blend of sports and emotional roller coaster!

Check out the video (above) to watch the newest trailer for 42.

Looks like we’re going to be seeing more boxing films after The Fighter!

Naomi Watts, Liev Schreiber, and Christina Hendricks will all star in the upcoming biopic of Chuck Wepner, the New Jersey heavyweight boxer who fought Muhammad Ali for 15 rounds and inspired Sylvester Stallone to write Rocky.

The film will be titled The Bleeder, and it’s being shopped around at the Cannes Film Festival.

Liev will definitely play the lead, but Christina and Naomi’s roles are still a question mark because Wepner infamously had “millions of women,” so it could be any number of possibilities.

We LOVE the lineup in this movie!
