John Madden, the Super Bowl-winning coach turned turned NFL broadcaster and face of a video game franchise, is getting his own biopic movie. Writer and director David O. Russell has put the project together and cast Nicolas Cage to headline the film, which will be called Madden.
“Nicolas Cage, one of our greatest and most original actors, will portray the best of the American spirit of originality, fun, and determination in which anything is possible as beloved national legend John Madden,” said Russell in a statement to Deadline. “Together with the ferocious style, focus, and inspired individualism of Al Davis, owner of the underdog Oakland Raiders, the feature will be about the joy, humanity and genius that was John Madden in a wildly inventive, cool world of the 1970s.”
Madden only had a relatively short stint in the NFL as the Raiders’ head coach from 1969 to 1978, which included seven division titles and a Super Bowl win. If the Madden movie is confined to the ’70s,…
A new update for GTA Online this week introduced a quality-of-life feature that fans have been requesting for years, but it’s locked behind a paywall and some are worried about what this might mean for 2025’s Grand Theft Auto VI.
The Bottom Dollar Bounties update introduced a Vinewood Club App–exclusive to GTA+ subscribers–that players can access on the home screen of their in-game phone. The app allows players to buy ammo and cars and collect cash without needing to run around Los Santos.

AMC Theaters, where heartbreak feels good, has announced a new ticket-pricing initiative based on seat location. In a statement posted to the chain’s official website, the Sightline program will both offer a higher price for more premium locations in the theater, and lower prices in the front row.
“Sightline at AMC more closely aligns AMC’s seat pricing approach to that of many other entertainment venues, offering experienced-based pricing and another way for moviegoers to find value at the movies,” said Eliot Hamlisch, executive VP and CMO at AMC Theatres. “While every seat at AMC delivers an amazing moviegoing experience, we know there are some moviegoers who prioritize their specific seat and others who prioritize value moviegoing. Sightline at AMC accommodates both sentiments to help ensure that our guests have more control over their experience, so that every trip to an AMC is a great one.”
Sightline has reportedly already been tested i…
Actor Martin Freeman has spoken about returning to the role of CIA agent Everett K. Ross for the upcoming Marvel sequel Black Panther 2, and about making the movie without star Chadwick Boseman, who tragically died last year.

Freeman went on to state that while he knew he was still in the movie, he was unsure about what direction it will now take without Boseman playing T’Challa. “I’m going to be speaking to [director] Ryan Coogler soon about what shape that’s going to look like,” he said . “…
