The “Elvis” star will portray the cyclist in a new film from Edward Berger, the director of “All Quiet on the Western Front” and “Conclave.” Scott Stuber, the former Netflix film chief who decamped for United Artists, is producing the film, which has set off a bidding war among major studios and streamers, sources say.
Stuber has a first-look deal with the Amazon-owned, United Artists, but the project came together before he signed the pact, so the rights are up for grabs. It’s not the first time that Armstrong’s story has been told on screen. Ben Foster played the road racing cyclist in 2015’s “The Program,” a drama that was little seen when it premiered. Unlike with that film, Stuber has secured Armstrong’s life rights.
