Lance Armstrong Biopic Director Says Damon-Starring Flick Won't Be A 'Puff Piece'
...The film will be Marshall's next directorial effort, and he intends to utilize the real-life footage for a "What's Love Got to Do with It"-inspired finish that will fade out on Matt Damon's portrayal of Armstrong's early days and then fade in on the real deal. "You've got it," he said of the comparison to the 1993 Tina Turner biopic. "We're going to have the real Lance in the end titles, in his last race."
Damon expressed his excitement over the role last year, saying, "Everybody knows about him winning and winning and winning these Tour de Frances, which is incredible to have done what he's done, but the story of what he really went through, the in-depth story, I just thought was kind of amazing."

Looks like my ban on Matt Damon movies is going to be remarkably easy to uphold.
