Cage to shoot Madden biopic

Actor Nicolas Cage will play NFL coaching legend John Madden in a new Amazon Prime biopic that is shooting in Atlanta beginning in late April.

“Madden” will focus on Madden coaching the Oakland Raiders in the 1970s.

“After winning the Super Bowl, the stress of the job began to destroy him,” the production company noted. “It forced him away from his dream job, and the film focuses on his friendship with Oakland Raiders owner Al Davis, and how Madden found a second act that made him far more famous.”
