Overview
- The film is a packaged project with Edward Berger directing and Zach Baylin writing, with Scott Stuber and Nick Nesbit producing.
- The package is being shopped to major studios and streamers, with multiple offers reported and no distributor yet set.
- Stuber secured Armstrong’s life rights after long-running talks, and the project was assembled before his first-look deal with United Artists, leaving rights open to the market.
- The biopic is intended to chart Armstrong’s rise from cancer survivor to seven-time Tour de France winner and his downfall following USADA’s doping findings.
- Previous dramatizations, including 2015’s The Program, proceeded without Armstrong’s participation, distinguishing this effort through sanctioned access.
