About the Film: Nicolas Cage to Star as NFL Legend John Madden in Upcoming Biopic

Oscar-winning actor Nicolas Cage has officially signed on to play legendary NFL coach and broadcaster John Madden in Madden, a biopic directed by David O. Russell and produced by Amazon MGM Studios. The film will explore Madden’s extraordinary journey—from his time as head coach of the Oakland Raiders to his transformation into a legendary commentator and the face of the Madden NFL video game franchise.

Set in the dynamic 1970s, the film will showcase Madden’s rise to fame, his impactful relationship with Raiders owner Al Davis, and the influence he had on football culture. David O. Russell, known for American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook, leads a powerhouse production team including Todd Black, Jason Blumenthal, Steve Tisch, and more.

Cage’s casting has been praised as a bold and fitting choice. Known for roles in Pig, Longlegs, and The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, Cage brings depth, charisma, and originality—qualities that mirror Madden’s own legacy.

Madden aims to capture the spirit of an era and the life of a man who changed how we watch, play, and understand football. With biopics thriving in Hollywood, this film is expected to resonate with sports fans, creatives, and cinephiles alike.

Additional casting announcements are expected soon, making now the perfect time to get involved.
