Nicolas Cage will portray John Madden, the legendary American football coach and sports commentator, in the upcoming film “Madden,” director David O. Russell.

“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,” O. Russell said in a statement. “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.”

Cage, the Oscar-winning actor who has become synonymous with a certain kind of scene-chewery, recently starred in Neon’s box office sleeper hit “Longlegs,” which has grossed nearly $100 million globally. His other recent credits include A24’s “Dream Scenario,” meta comedy “The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent” and drama “Pig.”

Well frick it, cast him as Al Davis too. And he can also be the starting QB as well. Every character in the movie is played by Nicholas Cage.

Brendan Fraser gained 200 lbs for a role and regained his relevancy, maybe Nic can too.

I don't care how fiction it is, I need a scene of Madden watching a playthrough of Madden for the Sega where the ambulance runs down everybody in its path.
