The rumors had been flying that many Hollywood A-list actors were dying to play disgraced sports hero Lance Armstrong in the upcoming biopic. One of those whose name had been mentioned repeatedly has actually taken the part -- Bradley Cooper.
And we finally have a name for the film that chronicles how one man went from inspiration to humiliation and that is Red Blooded American. Not sure I like that, but that’s neither here nor there.

Roach helmed the Emmy-winning HBO dramas Recount (about the 2000 presidential election) and Game Change (following Sarah Palin’s rise and fall).
