According to Variety, the film will be directed by Edward Berger, who directed "All Quiet on the Western Front" (2022) and "The Conclave" (2024), among other things.

Butler is known for his Oscar-nominated portrayal of Elvis in the 2022 film of the same name.

Lance Armstrong won the Tour de France seven times between 1998 and 2005 and was considered by many to be the greatest cyclist of all time. In 2012, everything came crashing down when an investigation revealed Armstrong had used performance-enhancing drugs.
