Matt Damon as Lance Armstrong
"puppet as matt damon: ""...matt....damon...""
...hmmm
matt damon as lance: ""...lance...armstrong..."""
Not the director of the film, not the writer, not the cinematographer ... but the puppets who parrot the lines. Take 38 - Lance at Mt. Ventoux .... And sorry puppets at that. Now we can rest easy that pablum has been cast.
"I had the insane thought of Lance trying to act in a biopic of Matt Damon.
but then I read the article and saw this:
""The other known name is for the part of Sheryl Crow. Sarah Jessica Parker will play the role of Armstrong's companion and rock star. Other names are yet to be named.""
As funny as puppet idea is, I'm imagining the project running aground, Matt leaves, and it turns into a Sunday night made-for-TV-movie on CBS"
Expanding upon that twisted thought: turn it into a Sunday night made-for-TV-movie on CBS musical. With such low expectations, have it something akin to the campy (as in not Campagnolo) theme of The Producers (note the Sarah Jessica Parker/M. Broderick tie-in). On the other hand, maybe not.
