This is the NFL thread so guess I can bring it up here.
John Madden was my most favorite football commentator. The guy could add humor to the game like no one else. They should have made a movie about him and they did...
However, after watching the trailer it is obvious that while Nicolas Cage is a good actor and I like him in many movies, he can not pull off portraying John Madden. Not even a little.
I guess I shouldn't make a judgement call until I watch the entire movie but really, the trailer was telling enough that Nicolas Cage simply can not play John Madden.
It is also possible that some who were not around when Madden was in the booth have no reference to the man so Cage will work fine for them. If you weren't around when Madden was a commentator, you missed a lot of laughs during a football game.
