    If you believe that, you'll believe anything.
    If all the films of somebody's story that are reported to be being made actually were then Cineworld would have to be the size of a town just to show them all.

    To me it seems as if some people who have been cycling for a number of years, treat cycling like its an old boys club, and people shouldn't be able to participate unless you've been vetted and then once cleared you may get an invite!

    Face facts! - Cycling is enjoying a high profile at the moment and people who may have never cycled before are going to want to learn more about the sport and participate.

    Right lads, who can we cast in this seminal film?
    Remember that you are an Englishman and thus have won first prize in the lottery of life.

    Remember when they were going to make a film about Lance Armstrong?

    I guess they might still make one, though it might be more of a legal drama than a classic sporting success story.

    Aren't you usually played by an actor younger than you, not someone half your age again!

    Wrong accent, you need someone like Michelle Connor out of Corrie.

    That part of the story is yet to play out: in early script draughts, when the film still had a Muppets tie-in, Froome opts for a quieter life and dumps Michelle C in favour of Miss Piggy (fresh out of her custody battle with Kermit).

    Inspired!

    Is that a new type of power meter Ed C's holding?

    I've seen Misery. I imagine it's much the same but with Tom Boonen instead of James Caan. "Sorry Tom, I said hobble, not cobble"

    Wiggins has already been in a film; he provides the climax towards the end of this clip:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qMM2r_42bA


    The clip is from this film about Paris-Roubaix 2002, concentrating on DS Madiot and the FDJ team but with lots of snippets of other years:

    and this film by the same man is of the 2004 TdF, again centred around Madiot and the FDJ team:

    Patsy Kensit - gives her a chance to dust off the dodgy Saffa accent she used in Lethal Weapon. Either that or Charlize Theron who can then ditch the fake American accent and start pronouncing her name properly again.

    Surprised it never happened. He could have made sure it reflected him in the inspirational way he'd have liked but now it will hopefully be more real if it ever happens. He'd probably tie any unauthorised version in legal knots though forcing the producers to drop the idea.

    Well, there's still talk that Gareth Thomas is going to be played by Mickey Rourke in an upcoming production. If that goes ahead then anything is possible.

    I hope they include the time when Thomas was promoted to captain of the B&I Lions in NZ and said...

    "I've got 2 words for you... Don't Fkin Panic"

    Mickey Rourke will deliver it perfectly I'm sure!
