The race to get a film about the cheating, drug-enhanced winning ways of cyclist Lance Armstrong has been hotly contested, but it appears Stephen Frears has pulled ahead of the pack, with The Program arriving this year.
Adapted from sports journalist David Walsh’s book Seven Deadly Sins: My Pursuit Of Lance Armstrong, the film will follow the cyclist’s meteoric rise, battles with cancer and equally fast fall once it was proved that he had been using performance enhancing drugs during his successful years.

Frears has Chris O’Dowd playing Walsh, with Ben Foster as Armstrong. From the looks of this, it’s a dramatic re-telling of Armstrong’s Tour de France years and then what happened when the truth came out, and the rabbit hole proved to be far deeper than anyone suspected.
With Lee Pace, Jesse Plemons, Guillaume Canet, Dustin Hoffman and Bryan Greenberg also in the cast.
