Actor Ben Foster looks set to play Lance Armstrong in a biopic of the disgraced cyclist, which will be directed by Stephen Frears, according to the Hollywood Reporter.
Written by regular Danny Boyle collaborator John Hodge, the film would cover the period from Armstrong's testicular cancer diagnosis in the mid-1990s to the revelations over his use of performance-enhancing drugs. Foster, a celebrated supporting actor in films such as 3:10 to Yuma, Alphadog and recent Sundance smash Ain't Them Bodies Saints, will step up to a rare lead role if his current negotiations prove fruitful.
