Agree on C Bale as Lance.

saved by the bell

Don't you mean saved by the ball?

 

[7starz]

Don't forget our main protagonist David Walsh for whom I suggest Peter Firth who played Harry Pearce MI5 head of terrorism in Spooks! He plays dogged determination/vulnerability perfectly.

Good idea indeed, waiting for your input. Who's the OP again?

 

[Flux Capacity]

I are tellin' yooz, Owen Wilson would be a dead ringer for Ballstrong if he had the same hair. Someone photoshop it

 

[Jalina]

While this thread has mostly been about the high quality big studio movie, I think it's important we also consider the inevitable D grade telemovie.

James Van Der Beek for Lance. He can't act, he only has the one expression. Perfect for telemovie Lance!

And for the serious movie... Aaron Sorkin to write? Dude has a great knack with dialogue and getting to the behind the scenes machinations.

 

[ElChingon]

Something tells me the funding for this movie is going to be pulled from under you due to the interviews the past couple days

 

[HL2037]

Too bad Gene Hackman is getting a bit too old. Nobody does nasty like him.

Please tell me it's possible to film this without paying Lance anything for name rights, etc?
It's great though, if this prevents a Lance-approved piece where he ends up taking on the peloton at old age and clean, and just barely missing a top result.

 

[Flux Capacity]

Jan Ullrich = Sam Worthington

As long as he never had to speak (apart from the fact that his upper body is too big), coz that broad Aussie accent would keep bleeding through

 

[jeffsharpe]

Will the movie feature his drug taking pre cancer or post cancer?

Cycle Of Lies: The Fall Of Lance

Paramount Pictures and Bad Robot partners JJ Abrams and Bryan Burk are going to make a movie about the epic rise and fall of doping bicyclist Lance Armstrong.

A book that will be written by Juliet Macur for HarperCollins.

Johan...John Travolta, both in my eyes and ears.

 

[DirtyWorks]

Remake Dodgeball

White Goodman's new name is Lance Gunderson. Bart Knaggs is the name of fitness consiglierie. The re-worked story is a bromance between a recovered skinny White having a bromance with Thom Wiesel on their way to re-taking Globo-gym from Peter LeFleur.

I'd add a character like Doctor Spaceman from 30 Rock to Wiesel's super-gym. The character has to be named Chris Carmichael.

If you haven't seen it, you might find it funny. It's a particular kind of comedy so, not for everyone.

 

[BroDeal]

This movie will need some comic relief. I want to see Wil Ferrel play Chris Carmichael.

 

[cineteq]

I want to see Wil Ferrel play Chris Carmichael.

Oh yeah, good call!

 

[ggusta]

Someone touting himself for the lance role

Not sure if he's a good fit.

"Matt Damon, Jake Gyllenhaal, Michael Fassbender and Christian Bale are among the other actors whose names have been mentioned in relation to the role."

 

[HL2037]

How about Jonathan Rhys Meyers?

 

[HL2037]

Paul Bethany for Floyd?
