The Program. That is the name of the upcoming Lance Armstrong film, with the title alluding to the doping program undertaken by the American and his team that propelled him to seven consecutive Tour de France titles. The film has been in production for a while but the trailer finally landed today and it was worth the wait. Chris O'Dowd plays the role of Sunday Times journalist David Walsh, who was one of a few vocal doubters of Armstrong's achievements. Bradley Cooper was initally rumoured to play the cyclist but Ben Foster (Alpha Dog) looks to have nailed it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=36&v=hMTPvXtvkZU It is scheduled to be released later this year. In the meantime, we are going to get Paddy Power to give us a quote on O'Dowd winning the Best Supporting Actor award at the Oscars.
