Nicolas Cage to Play NFL Icon John Madden in David O. Russell’s Biopic
Nicolas Cage will portray American football coach and sports commentator John Madden in a biopic from David O. Russell.
“Together with the ferocious style, focus, and inspired individualism of Al Davis, owner of the underdog Oakland Raiders, the feature will be about the joy, humanity and genius that was John Madden in a wildly inventive, cool world of the 1970s.” Amazon MGM is backing the film, which will be written, directed and produced by O. Russell. Todd Black is producing the film with Escape Artists’ Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch, and Jonathan Shukat alongside David O. Russell and Matthew Budman.
