Bradley Cooper Doing Lance Armstrong Biopic After All

Bradley Cooper was previously linked to play all American hero-turned-disgraced cyclist Lance Armstrong in a biopic on the doping scandal for Paramount and J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Productions. He has the right look (Might be a great guy, which I'm sure he is, but he just looks like a douchebag) to show the double-faces of the real Armstrong and his career choices, as of late, show he fully intends to stay in the A-list as The Hangover series that launched him fizzled out.

But in a twist that is downright cold-blooded (But hey showbiz is ruthless), Cooper has left the Paramount gates and headed across the street to Warner Brothers for their rival Armstrong project. Titled Red Blooded America, this take comes courtesy of director Jay Roach and writer Scott Z. Burns. He's in talks to produce and star. It remains unsure if he would play Armstrong or Tyler Hamilton, Armstrong's former teammate who publicly spoke out against him.

Again playing Armstrong seems more up his alley and he clearly wants an Oscar after his nod for Silver Linings Playbook this year.
