Full Tantalising Trailer For Alex Gibney’s ‘The Armstrong Lie’ Doc

Hollywood already has at least two dramatised biopics in development focusing on disgraced cyclist and drug cheat Lance Armstrong. However, acclaimed documentarian Alex Gibney – the man behind the outstanding ENRON: THE SMARTEST GUYS IN THE ROOM – may just have something even more fascinating with THE ARMSTRONG LIE. The fact-chasing filmmaker wanted to follow the champion sportsman during his epic comeback from Cancer a few years ago but soon found a whole new shocking series of events rear their head when Armstrong was eventually outed for doping after years of denials.

The Sony Pictures Classics production seemed dead after those revelations and subsequent admission of guilt but Gibney refused to give up and pushed on to finish his story. Forcing the seven-time (now stripped) Tour de France winner to face his future as a fraud.

The full trailer has now hit for THE ARMSTRONG LIE and is looking another fascinating watch, with perhaps a more testing series of questions posed (and possibly) answered than ‘that’ infamous Oprah Winfey interview.

THE ARMSTRONG LIE hits limited US theaters on the 8th November. No confirmed UK date as yet but it’s premiering at the London Film Festival and we’ll bring you our review very soon.
