Lance Armstrong Movie Starring !!!!

Who would you recommend to star as Lance Armstrong? How do you fake that huge chest cavity? Matt Damon is a terrible choice, but I really struggle to think of who might pay the role the justice its due.

Whaddya think about Brad Pitt? Who would play Kik or Sheryl? I think George Hincappe should be played by Andy Garcia.

Hmmm, interesting. I hadn't heard this. I think Matt Damon is an odd choice also, but like Motivated, I can't seem to come up with a better one! It would be great if the idea actually come to fruition though!

Crazy world, here is one of the few clips about it:

Unbelievable, the guy." Damon was especially stoked because he's slated to play Armstrong in a film based on Armstrong's battle with cancer. "I'm going to have to get on a bike and lose 25 pounds," he chuckled.

wow, cycling and lance have really hit the mainstream...no one even knew who lance was 3 years ago...amazing what sheryl crow and some subaru and nike ads can do for your publicity huh? i guess it doesn't hurt he's won some TdF's...

I would gladly step in to play Kik or Sheryl Crow... Oh, wait a minute, that **STILL** wouldn't get me into lip lock with the real Lance... Dang! A (married!) girl can dream. **SIGH**

I think he should be played by Greg Lemond. ;-)

LOL Good one!

The contract binding Greg Lemond to portray Lance Armstrong--with all it's restrictions and penalties--would probably make some good bedtime reading.

Based upon his recent news conferences, we at least know LeMond can act.

LOL re: all this Greg Lemond starring as Lance Armstrong talk... HILARIOUS... And no, he CAN'T act. (!!!!!!)

I want to play Lance's mechanic so I can get my hands on all that cool bike gear. Those TT frames were beautiful. Can you imagine what one of those would go for? Its the ultimate sports collectible.

I entered to win Lance's bike @ Powerbar.com. I can only hope... But I've got a good feeling about this one!!! Right.

Oh yes, but it would let you lock lips with Matt Damon. Now whoever mentioned Brad Pitt----even I would audition to play Sheryl Crow for that one!!!

what would really make it a blockbuster would be tom cruise got the role
,he would have to lose 15-20 lbs ,lose the upper body. naomi watts would be
perfect for kirsten armstrong . he would actually should be trained by chris carmichael
so he can act this one out. perfect director john woo, producer-jerry bruckenheimer.

that just might be a good movie -

If you are seriously looking for an actor to portray Lance Armstrong on the big screen, you need someone who at least resembles the man.

Check out Gabriel Mann on IMDB. The first time I saw this guy's face I thought it WAS Lance.

He's in both of the "Bourne" movies.

And never choose John Woo or Jerry Bruckheimer for movies that do not have things that blow up. BAD CHOICEs.

Who would play Greg Lemond's whinning character? Gene Wilder or Carrot Top?

Seriously just put all the highlights from his racing on an IMAX screen!

Hey, don't knock Damon. He's a very dedicated actor and will do what he can to accurately portray Lance.

Did you ever see "Courage Under Fire"? If you did, you'll see he's dedicated to authenticity...he lost 40 lbs to play a Gulf War vet addicted to heroin!!!

Anyway, I'm a movie buff and I wouldn't completely discount his abilities...yet. However, if he does get casted and does a terrible job, I'll be the first one to say so! But until then, he gets the benefit of the doubt in my book!!!

Jazzy,

Didn't like Damon till I finally bought Bourne Identity. Great movie. I suppose he could pull off the Lance role. Who would play Cheryl Crowe?

Hmmm...Kate Hudson? But she'd have to be 10 years older, and with darker hair (she has that classic beauty look to her). Also, strangely Rene Russo a few years younger...laid back attitude. But I have to admit, I don't really know Sheryl Crow's mannerisms or her look too well, so I'd have to think about it a bit more.

Hmm...tough one. Actually, I might go with a lesser known actress, but I can't think of anyone to match at the moment. I'll keep thinking...

Samuel L. Jackson. That is one bad mfer.

Matt Damon is a pretty good actor and he actually looks like Lance. Samuel L Jackson would also be a darned good choice but can he ride a bike?

I don't know, but he can sure talk the talk and walk the walk! I was going to post some memorable Pulp Fiction quotes, but this is a family site.

Well, if you want a bad ass, how about Mickey O'Rourk?
