Adrien Brody is ideal for Beloki.

Perhaps they can, as a friend suggested, get Sacha Baron Cohen to
fatten up and play Jan Ullrich.

Nope. Cohen must play Vino. Only a Kazakh could feel like a Kazakh.

But he might end up feeling him instead of feeling like him.

Ah, this already reaks of a cheesy Hollywood adoption. Matt Damon can
really eat the scenery, Leonardo DiCaprio or Johnny Depp he's not. Hmm,
perhaps Matt Damon is the right choice to play Lance.

Kate Hudson could play Lance's mom. Ulrich could be played by Phillip
Seymour Hoffman, if he could gain a little weight for the part. Maybe
Carrot Top could play Landis. Or Lyle Lovett.

Agree, that's perfect. What about William Shatner for Greg Lemond?

In that case:
Lance - Adam Sandler
Jan - Seth Rogen
George - Jason Schwartzman
Sheryl - Gwyneth Paltrow
Johan - Sasha Baron Cohen
Floyd - Joaquin Phoenix
The Olsen twins - Natalie Portman

Possibly as the younger, thinner version. Shatner's aged way better
than LemonD.

One more thing - it should be a rock musical, modeled on either "The
Rocky Horror Picture Show" or "Tommy". I could really dig songs like,
"Let's Do The Testosterone Again", and "Sweet Transfusion from
Transylvania". George could be cast as Riff-Raff.

Apparently Matt Damon is also narrating a Lance-umentary:

http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/movies/2010/10/lance-armstrong-doping-alberto-contador-matt-damon-tour-de-france.html

... which has a quote from the director that seems to have Lafferty
pretty well pegged:

"Gibney [the director] sees in Armstrong a figure both complex and
polarizing. "There is, at least from the public perspective, a big
disparity of opinion on him. Some people hold him up to be a saint.
Particularly if you're a cancer survivor or cancer patient, he
provides enormous hope," Gibney says. "Other people see in him a kind
of hypocrisy, and hypocrisy drives people crazy, particularly if they
make money off it."

You have a twisted brain - are you a director? Start writing the
script, I'll knock off a bank, or at least a couple of liquor stores,
to finance the project (and scoop up some liquor to get Ryan on
board), and we'll beat them to the box office.

Who wouldn't want to see Tyler or Landis singing a poignant ballad, "I
am/not lying, oh no not me", or Johan singing, "Ca-ching, Ca-ching,
Ha, Ha, Ha" in seven languages?

Landis would probably prefer punk:

Presumably Ferrari is Dr. Frank-N-Furter.

That's Arnold Shimmerman, and he's a little guy, so it'd probably be
better if he played Doumolin. Yeah, I know the spelling is wrong -
probably on both - so sue me.

Perhaps for the role of Janet, they could just cycle through all of
LA's girlfriends and ex-wives, culminating with his Mom in the scene
in her bedroom, and have her visitor turn out to be Fraud (Dr. Frank-n-
Furter). Yuck.
