Columbia Pictures is forging ahead too immortalize Lance Armstrong in an epic biofilm. The project has been slow-going, but a recent addition may just breathe new excitement into it. Writer of such great films as Seabiscuit, Gary Ross has been hired to pen the script.
As for who will portray the iconic bicyclist, the latest rumor is Matt Damon, though no official casting has begun on the pic.
If you’re looking to get a Lance Armstrong fix before the big flick, you might want to check in with the Tour de France next month, as Lance has come out of retirement to try for his eighth win of the tournament.
Maybe it’s just us, but we think it might be too soon to be thinking about an Armstrong epic. He’s not that old and could do something super cool while the movie is being made. Then what?
Place on the back burner, if you ask us.
