Ben Foster Bikes Up

And the first actor to play Lance Armstrong will be...Bradley Cooper young character actor Ben Foster.

The Messenger star is poised to play the disgraced cyclist in one of three Armstrong biopics in the works – the one that’s set up at Working Title. The Queen’s Stephen Frears is set to direct from a script by Trainspotting’s John Hodge.

The movie would focus primarily on Armstrong’s doping scandal, and cameras are expected to roll in the fall.

Like I said: There are two other Armstrong movies in the works. Warner Bros. is also prepping som’in’; Cooper’s name was floated as a possibility for the project that J.J. Abrams is developing.

Guess it’s really a matter of time until we which one makes it to the finish line first.
