Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale Star as NFL Legends

ATLANTA, Georgia — Amazon MGM has revealed the first look at Academy Award winners Nicolas Cage and Christian Bale in their new roles as NFL legends John Madden and Al Davis.

The film, titled Madden, tells the story of John Madden’s rise from a Super Bowl-winning coach of the Raiders to becoming a key figure in the creation of EA’s Madden NFL video game series, and later, a sports broadcasting icon. The film is directed by David O. Russell, known for his works like Three Kings, The Fighter, and American Hustle.

Written by Russell and based on a script by Cambron Clark, the film also stars John Mulaney as Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins, Kathryn Hahn as John Madden’s wife Virginia, and Sienna Miller as Carol Davis, wife of Raiders owner Al Davis.

Currently, there is no announced release date for Madden, but it is actively being produced in Atlanta. The Madden video game series began in 1988 as John Madden Football on the Apple II and has become one of the most successful video game franchises ever.

As details continue to emerge, fans are excited to see how the film captures the legacies of these football icons.
