If Andy Samberg decided to quit everything else and just make sports mockumentaries, that would be cool with me. After the hilarious 7 Days in Hell, Samberg has called up all of his buddies to tackle the drug-fueled world of competitive cycling with Tour De Pharmacy. Lance Armstrong even shows up in a cameo, alongside Will Forte, Adewale Akkinuoye-Agbage, Orlando Bloom, Daveed Diggs, Kevin Bacon, John Cena, Dolph Lundgren, Phylicia Rashad, James Marsden, Danny Glover, Maya Rudolph, Freddie Highmore, Julia Ormond, Mike Tyson, and Jeff Goldblum. Here's the synopsis:
In 1982, during a dark and fictitious time in cycling history, the sport’s most venerable, time-honored race was marred by the doping of virtually all of its competitors. Riddled with nefarious characters, that year’s competition was a hornet’s nest of moral depravity. Through the perspective of five riders, Tour de Pharmacy gives an inside look into the grim realities of the darkest event in a sport notoriously tainted by controversy.
Directed by Jake Szymanski, Tour De Pharmacy hits HBO on July 8th.
