Abrams? http://theriver1079.com/bradley-cooper-lance-armstrong/ http://theriver1079.com/bradley-cooper-lance-armstrong/#comments Tue, 29 Jan 2013 01:18:29 +0000 Eric Walkuski http://screencrush.com/?p=78503 It hasn't taken long for the Lance Armstrong story to become the hottest new biopic in town. Shortly after the cyclist confessed to doping on Oprah, J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot snatched up the rights to an upcoming book about Armstrong. And everybody wants to be in the J.J. Abrams business right now.

Find out the latest on Abrams' and Wyman's robotic future-cops inside!
