Armstrong Biopic Back on Track

[John the Monkey]

According to Velonews;

“We got inspired by his comeback, and we were able to (get going again),” Marshall was quoted. “The story of Armstrong's improbable comeback from illness to win seven consecutive Tour de France titles - and his capturing of the American imagination in doing so - carries echoes of ‘Seabiscuit.’”


Marshall -- known for producing such successful franchises as “Indiana Jones,” “Back to the Future” and the Jason Bourne series – has been trying to get an Armstrong biopic off the ground for the past several years.

Rumours that this will be the theme song/opening credits montage are completely unfounded.

My view on him has softened recently after watching him in the Giro. I thought he would expect everyone to fall at his feet but watching him serve has a domestique and work for the team was good

I hope they make a film that depicts LA's true story, as opposed to one of the "based on a true story" jobs.

Cue scenes of doping, bullying and general hypocracy? Now that would be a film worth watching.
