That's the scoop. Movie in the making (per VN). Damon picked to play
Armstrong.

Why? Was Lance unavailable for the role?

But, will the film show him ****ing into cups at least 24 times or rubbing
Actoveggan cream into his butt? And who will play Emma O'Reilly in the
film? Will Simeoni play himself?

And what about Naomi?

Why do you think Subaru restricts his lines to one-liners?

Seems silly to me to make a biographical drama when there is ample
real
life
footage available to create a compelling documentary. Plus you know
a
scripted film will do no justice to cycling as a sport.

Or, you could have Michael Moore do a spinumentary.

I think the correct term is "crockumentary". Seems as how he's been
de-spun
by everything from the 911 Commission Report to the latest being Yeslam
Binladin who says that Moore's film purposely misrepresented his
family -
claiming that they were flown out of the country with some sort of
priority
when in fact they were treated as any other foreign visitors. He also
debunked the oft repeated claim that members of the bin Laden family
were
in
Afghanistan with Osama.

But then when someone prefers lies to truth you can always bet that
there's
a Liberal in the woodpile.


You get no argument here, Tom. I just suggested spinumentary because of
the
play on the cycling angle along with the slanted "documentary" style of
Mr.
Moore.

Hmm, slanted documentary? That sounds like "propaganda". What is the
difference alleged to be?

But who will play Dr Ferrari ? What actor could play a good Chemical
Architect ?

Steve Buscemi?

Oh Jeez, as the character "Crazy Eyes"?

I can see it ... sort of. I just hope Damon learns to ride a bike
better
than he learned golf ... or better than Costner learned to ride a bike
or
play golf, either one.

I guess they'll have to get DeNiro to play Ullrich since he'll have to
balloon up and down in weight ... like in Raging Bull.

Matt Damon is to nice to play Lance. Even when he plays a baddy (The
talented Mr.Ripley or Bourne Identity) he comes across as a nice guy.

In that case, he's the wrong choice. Lance has many admirable qualities.
"Nice guy" isn't one of them. Oh well, it's Hollywood...

Who's going to play the diabetic soigneur?

As long as all the Russians have beards, I'll be happy. I hate it when
people try to debunk the stereotypes I cherish.

Some other thoughts:
Jan Ullrich = Willem Dafoe or maybe Rick Schroeder
Johan Bruyneel = Denzel Washington
Sheryl Crow = Catherine Mannheim
Kristin Armstrong = Ashley Judd
Jean-Marie Leblanc = Robert Deniro
Robin Williams = Ben Affleck

Seriously though, this movie will suck for anyone that knows the
story.

True, they could however have him do all the bike scenes and dub his voice
for everything else sort of like watching old Godzilla movies.

A few suggestions for supporting roles:

Lance's Mom Olsen twin #1
Kik Armstrong Olsen twin #2
Sheryl Crowe Mariah Carey (I'm assuming there will be a sex scene)
Jan Ullrich David Hasselhoff
Marco Pantani Ferenghi guy from Star Trek
Eddy Merckx Himself
