Oscar-nominated filmmaker David O. Russell's upcoming biopic "Madden" is racking up an impressive cast. The latest reports indicate that three-time Emmy winner John Mulaney, three-time Emmy nominee Kathryn Hahn ("Agatha All Along") and two-time BAFTA nominee Sienna Miller ("American Sniper") are in talks to join the Amazon MGM Studios film's ensemble.
The film chronicles the unlikely path that took Madden from Super Bowl-winning Oakland Raiders head coach to the brains and brand behind Madden NFL, which paved the way for his rise to become arguably the greatest broadcaster the NFL has ever seen. Nicolas Cage will star as John Madden, and Christian Bale will play late Raiders owner Al Davis. This is Bale's fourth collaboration with Russell following "Amsterdam", "American Hustle" and "The Fighter".
If all the deals go through, Mulaney will play Trip Hawkins, who founded EA Sports and was a driving force in behind the Madden NFL video games; Hahn will play Madden's wife, Virginia; and Miller will play Davis' wife, Carol.
Production is expected to begin next month in Atlanta with Russell directing from his own script which follows an earlier draft by Cambron Clark. Todd Black is producing through his Escape Artists banner along with partners Jason Blumenthal and Steve Tisch, and Jonathan Shukat alongside Russell and Matthew Budman. Escape Artists' David Bloomfield will executive produce.
