Rappy Veteran Posted July 27, 2013 Veteran Share Posted July 27, 2013 Stephen Frears? Lance Armstrong movie is further along than I thought. I?m told that Ben Foster is already in final talks to play Armstrong in the film, which was scripted by Trainspotting?s John Hodge and covers Armstrong?s career from his cancer ordeal to the scandal that brought him down. Always a good actor, Foster has a lot of momentum coming into what could be a careermaking role. He will next be seen in two films that premiered at Sundance, IFC?s Ain?t Them Body Saints and Sony Pictures Classics? Kill Your Darlings. Foster, who last spring made his Broadway debut opposite Alec Baldwin in Orphans, stars opposite Mark Wahlberg in the Peter Berg-directed Navy SEAL saga Lone Survivor, which Universal releases December 27. The hope is to begin production on the Armstrong film this fall. He is repped by WME, Hodge by United Agents. Still no official comment from reps or Working Title. http://www.deadline.com/2013/07/stephen-fears-and-working-title-pedaling-fast-on-lance-armstrong-movie/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
