A lot of people are eagerly anticipating the Madden movie this November. That goes especially for Raiders fans who can't wait to see what Nick Cage and Christian Bale do with John Madden and Al Davis respectively. Prime video has released their latest trailer in which Cage talks about what it means to him to play John Madden in the film.

"Accepting the role to play this larger-than-life legend has been a highlight for me. John Madden didn't just coach football, he changed the game. His football brilliance was unmatched.
As a coach, John was a savant; seeing the field in ways no one else could. As a broadcaster, his brilliance evolved.
"His humanity was present in everything he did. including his unwavering love of family, and his lifelong partnership with best friend, Al Davis.
"His legacy lives on, not just on the football field or in the broadcast booth, but globally, through gaming. John's passion, joy, and the impact he had through his zest for life and humanity were immense."
I think I can speak for most people when I say I am actually more interested to see Christian Bale embody Al Davis because from what I've seen in these previews, that's a damn spot on performance.
