Madden, the David O. Russell-directed John Madden biopic starring Nic Cage, acquired its first full-length trailer at present, and to be utterly trustworthy, I don’t know what to make of this film. Based mostly on the 2 minutes seen within the trailer, it might both be a subversive comedic delight or The Room 2, however with much more footballs and fewer tuxedos.
The trailer, which exhibits a few of John Madden’s time as the top coach of the Raiders earlier than shifting to broadcasting, provides us an excellent take a look at the make-up and prosthetics that turned Nic Cage into probably the most well-known NFL broadcaster of all time. Does he seem like John Madden? No, however he does seem like Nic Cage carrying John Madden’s face as his personal, so maybe it is a secret sequel to Face/Off.
Madden’s identify is borderline synonymous with soccer video video games at present, and we get a short take a look at how the game-development course of started. This consists of John Mulaney as EA founder Journey Hawkins, and we see how Madden was not within the unique prototype, because it did not characteristic 11 gamers on a group.
David O. Russell hasn’t precisely been on a successful streak the final a number of years, with Amsterdam dropping a complete bunch of cash. Maybe viewers’ morbid curiosity to see Nic Cage hamming it up as John Madden will enhance its efficiency, however it’s getting a Prime Video launch on November 18 quite than a theatrical one. How usually Madden will point out Brett Favre remans unclear. Alongside Cage and Mulaney, the movie stars Christian Bale, Shane Gillis, Kathryn Hahn, and Marshawn Lynch in an Urkel outfit.
