The film reportedly traces Madden’s journey from humble beginnings to coaching the Raiders to the Super Bowl in 1976 and his later media career in which he dominated NFL commentary, video games and became a successful TV pitch man for a variety of brands. The Hollywood Reporter previously reported that the film could serve as more of an origin story of Madden NFL, one of the biggest gaming franchises ever.
Madden is written and directed by Oscar-nominated filmmaker David O. Russell (The Fighter, American Hustle, Silver Linings Playbook). In addition to Cage and Bale, the cast includes John Mulaney (playing Electronic Arts founder Trip Hawkins), Kathryn Hahn (as Virginia Madden) and Sienna Miller (as Carol Davis).
