The first picture of Ben Foster as Lance Armstrong has been released, Digital Spy said.
The Kill Your Darlings actor plays the disgraced cyclist in the currently untitled project from director Stephen Frears.
StudioCanal unveiled the first promo photo from the film on Twitter earlier today (October 22). It was later shared by British cyclist David Millar, who is helping out with the project.
Chris O'Dowd will play journalist David Walsh in the film, while Guillaume Canet and Breaking Bad actor Jesse Plemons will also have key supporting roles.
Trance's John Hodge has written the screenplay, which is based on Walsh's book Seven Deadly Sins: My Pursuit of Lance Armstrong.
The film centres around Armstrong's rise during the 1990s and early 2000s and his battle with cancer. It also follows Walsh's role in exposing Armstrong's doping secret.
Foster and Daniel Radcliffe's Kill Your Darlings premiered at the London Film Festival on October 17, and goes on general release in the UK on December 6.
