WILL FERRELL TO PLAY JOHN MADDEN IN NEW BIOPIC
Written by Ballzer on May 30, 2023
The news is everywhere, so it seems valid that Will Ferrell will play John Madden in a new biopic!
USAToday reports, “Will Ferrell is slated to star as John Madden in an upcoming movie about the Hall of Fame coach and broadcaster who also became famous for the football video game that bears his name, according to a Deadline report.”
“Madden” will allegedly be produced by Amazon and MGM studios. No word on when filming on “Madden” will start or when the movie will be released, but this could be good! I totally see it…how about you?
