Ben Foster to Play Lance Armstrong

3:10 to Yuma star Ben Foster is in talks to play Lance Armstrong in a biopic in development at Working Title. The film has no title yet, but it'll be directed by Stephen Frears, and "it will tell the story of Armstrong’s battle with testicular cancer in the mid-1990s to the unraveling of his image in the last several years due to the use of performance-enhancing drugs."

Foster is a very talented young actor who has had a lot of great roles. 3:10 to Yuma is one of my favorites. He was also in X-Men: The Last Stand and most recently starred in Ain’t Them Bodies Saints with Rooney Mara and Casey Affleck. He's also part of Peter Berg’s Navy SEAL film, Lone Survivor, whose cast also includes Mark Wahlberg, Eric Bana, and Taylor Kitsch. 

If Foster ends up being cast as Armstrong, I'm sure he'll do an great job portraying him. Do you think he'll be able to pull it off?
