JJ Abrams buys rights for Lance Armstrong movie - here's who we would cast

At this stage we should just buy up an abandoned warehouse, foldy-out chairs and call ourselves producers.

REPORTS THIS MORNING have revealed Star Trek director, and creator of LOST, JJ Abrams will produce a movie on Lance Armstrong’s fall from grace.

The director/producer has reportedly bought the rights to a planned biography, by New York Times reporter Juliet Macur.

The working title is ‘Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong’.

Speculation will now begin on who should play the disgraced cyclist, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France titles, after a damning report by the US Anti-Doping Agency found him to be guilty of using performance enhancing drugs.

We’ve saved JJ the effort by casting the movie on his behalf.
