Lance Armstrong gets the perfectly natural boost of big ratings and a J.J. Abrams movie about him
The second installment of Lance Armstrong’s EPO-enabled marathon confession to Oprah Winfrey has yet to air, but—given that most of the salient points of that confession have been leaked, in addition to being assumed for many, many years—already there’s talk of transforming its sort-of-revelations into a film whose ending you similarly already know. Deadline reports that Paramount is moving quickly to adapt Cycle Of Lies: The Fall Of Lance Armstrong, a book pitch made by New York Times sports reporter Juliet Macur, who’s been secretly harboring that pun for a decade now, just biding her time.
