Amazon Prime Video’s new TV and movie releases for the week of November 16-22 include Madden and others.
Co-produced and directed by David O. Russell, Madden is a biographical sports film. It chronicles the life of football coach and commentator John Madden’s contribution to the creation of the Madden NFL video game series. The star cast features Nicolas Cage, Christian Bale, Kathryn Hahn, John Mulaney, and many others in key roles. In his interview with Everett Post, Cage opened up about playing Madden. “I was trying to play touch football and I think I made a play for the wrong team. I was wearing an Incredible Hulk T-shirt,” he said.
The actor shared he “must’ve looked like the biggest geek,” and he “never played sports again.” Cage continued, “What I really appreciated about John Madden is that he’s a teacher. My father was a professor of comparative literature and I really cherish teachers.” The 62-year-old star added, “The more I listened to him, the more apparent it became to me that he really cared, and he wanted to empower these athletes and guide them.”
Cage also talked about his experience working with Bale. “We were flying, and the strangest inspirations would come to me. That’s what happens when you’re riffing. With an actor like Christian, you can do that,” he explained.
