Stephen Frears To Direct Movie Based On Lance Armstrong's Doping Scandal

After the news that seven time winner of the Tour de France, Lance Armstrong admitted to use doping, Hollywood begun its preparation for the eventual film about the scandal.

Paramount and J.J. Abrams were the first to arrive with an adaptation of Juliet Macur book, Cycle of Lies: The Fall of Lance Armstrong. Then it was Warner Bros. with Jay Roach directing and Scott Z. Burns writing the script, but now apparently director Stephen Frears and Working Title Pictures are the ones making the leap into actually begin production on a film about Lance Armstrong revelations.

According to Deadline, director Stephen Frears is trying to start the production on the film in this Fall. Frears is currently working on the HBO Muhammad Ali’s Greatest Fight so Lance Armstrong film should be next on his schedule.

Regarding Paramount’s and Warner Bros., movement on the both projects seem to have stalled.
