This article covers a developing story. Continue to check back with us as we will be adding more information as it becomes available. David O. Russell's John Madden biopic just drafted its lead. Nicolas Cage will play the NFL legend in the new film from Amazon MGM Studios. Deadline reports that the biopic will focus on the path that took Madden from Super Bowl champion coach to video game icon.
Says Russell, whose violent interaction with George Clooney on the set of 1999's Three Kings has recently resurfaced, "Nicolas Cage, one of our greatest and most original actors, will portray the best of the American spirit of originality, fun, and determination in which anything is possible as beloved national legend John Madden." Russell wrote the latest draft of the film's script; an earlier draft was penned by Cambron Clark.
Who Is John Madden? Born in 1936, John Madden's on-field career was ended by a knee injury. He soon turned his attention to coaching, and swiftly became one of the greatest coaching minds ever to grace the gridiron. After a successful stint coaching college ball, he was hired by maverick Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis and soon turned the team into a perennial contender. Playing Madden's brand of hard-edged football, the Raiders won seven divisional titles and 1977's Super Bowl XI.
