Paramount
Pictures and J.J. Abrams’ production company, Bad Robot, are planning a
biopic about the disgraced cyclist, a studio spokeswoman said Friday.
They’ve
secured the rights to New York Times reporter Juliet Macur’s upcoming
book “Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong,” due out in June.
Macur covered the seven-time Tour de France winner for over a decade.
No director, writer, star or start date have been set.
Armstrong
is in the midst of a two-part interview with Oprah Winfrey in which he
admits to using performance-enhancing drugs to reach his historic
victories, something he’d defiantly denied for years. The International
Olympic Committee stripped him of his 2000 bronze medal this week.
