'Madden Curse' movie in the works - Report

@djwood84 lol yes pleeeaaaase let madden narrate it!! oh and John Madden actually gets drunk off of Grapico FYI (jk its a running joke in my family lol)

If Madden narrates the entire thing while tipsy from too much wine and turducken, then MAYBE this could be funny. Oh, wait lets do something better. Lets do a documentary about how EA didn't want to compete with SEGA so they killed NFL 2k. Thats good for a laugh!

Wow r they serious?!?!?!?! If they actually make money on this movie than the ppl who wasted their money 2 go c this r stupid. A movie about the "Madden Curse", seriously?!?!?!?! Wow im @ a loss 4 words on this 1.

I have no idea how a script/story would even be possible... Unless... This is going to be a Wayans Brothers movie, isn't it?

Major motion picture? -_-

wow...

Is m night shyamalan Going to be director? :I

-facepalm-

I only watch giant monster movies and stuff by Pixar these days as far as movies go. This sounds like it'll be a bomb, but it will bomb in a hilarious fashion. I eagerly await the scathing reviews on Rotten Tomatoes.

Might as well give this movie to Uwe Boll. It's already a terrible idea.

You may be better off believing in what goes around comes around. But a game cover curse? Its the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. I guess it is a surprise to these people that people get hurt in football even if they appear on the cover of Madden... And I don't have any sympathy for a dog killer, Vick is a tremendous athlete ++ and I guess he paid his dues (not enough for me). I wouldn't consider gambling and dog fighting a curse. He did that to himself. And if what goes around comes around exists, we should expect to see sophisticated dogs gambling at man-fights. Man-fights for M.Vick and his fancy FOOSBALL friends.

Maybe it isn't just confined to Madden. Rooney now sucks and he's on the FIFA cover. Tiger Woods, just look at that winner.

know hollywood this Madden Curse Movie ends up a romantic comedy- ugh

@DiscretionsMX6 An ESPN 30 for 30 documentary would be instant WIN. However, I see this as nothing more than a short DVD extra that comes with the game for preordering or an extra movie on the game disc.

Oh snaps... I totally forgot Brees is on the cover this year! Maybe he can break the curse and take his squad to another Super Bowl. Or maybe this tongue and cheek sports comedy might have the ultimate pitch when something terrible happens these last few weeks... I sure hope not @_@

too early for a april fools joke, but this cant be for real?

Wow, lol.

A comedy short, straight to DVD mockumentary, but not a full-length movie.

Hollywood has clearly run out of ideas. lolz. Still, if it's a sorta mock-umentary kind of film, it has the potential to be funny.

Honestly, this movie sounds like it should just be a half hour documentary for TV instead.

This sounds like a great idea for the ESPN "30 for 30" series, but not for a full length movie

That's a retarded idea for a movie.

@swamptick Of those twenty years you mention, John Madden was on nearly half of them. They didn't start putting athletes on the cover until 1999. And while only three examples are cited here, but there are enough others for football fans to be well aware of the "curse".

The Madden cover is the new Death Note

96windsor I dunno, seen a preview with a hott little thing with a pixie haircut...

It'll be better than Twilight at least...

@firehawk998 Hahaha! Idk...angry birds:the motion picture might be hilarious! :P

Agreed. Not so bizarre for Hollywood...

Wow Hollywood really is starting to run out of ideas. Today is the Madden Curse movie tomorrow it will be Angry Birds the motion picture. Trust me on that it is coming.

is it april 1st already??

Does it star John Madden?

I'll watch it just to see how horrible it is. :P

Drew Brees may not have been injured this year but his performance on the field hasn't been as consistent as it was last year.

@gideonkain I am not saying something like this isn't common, I just think its a really bad idea, and it would probably flop.

This WILL work, and be epic...want to know why?. For once...we will get a videogame movie, that INTENDS to fail/be bad, so it will do just what it is meant to do.

I think its a good idea. @revanknight A for-profit corporation interested in money?! That is a sad state of affairs.

$$$$$$$$$$$-the interest of EA

Omg, I didn't think there could be a movie less though provoking than all the crap comedies of the past three years. Way to go!

Stupid movie win. No, but in all honesty, if this is done right, this could be a good movie.

Congratulations. The video game companies are officially out to kill the movie industry. I swear, if Bioshock isn't a good movie, then no game ever will be a good movie.

motion picture wtf... the madden curse is funny though.. the saints blew it vs the ravens...

Umm, Yeah!!! I think I will go read a book now. Yeah!!!

What. The. Eff.

god this is so stupid

I'd be laughing harder but, I also laughed at the idea of Facebook getting a movie and look how that turned out.

I call it Karma for all the evil EA have reaped into the world of sports exclusives

The Madden Curse has NOT been eerily predictable. Your math and your journalism are once again HORRIBLE Gamespot. You site three....THREE cover athletes out of over TWENTY YEARS who have had a 'curse' type situation. HOW IN THE WORLD IS THAT PREDICTABLE. Those odds are laughable at best. This whole story about Brett is obviously NOT about the curse. Brett came OUT of retirement only to have one of the BEST years of his AMAZING career last year. I thought you guys were supposed to be journalists. What a joke.

@noway78 Unless you're a kid, because, unlike Micheal the sick **** Vick, I'm not down with hurting innocents that can't defend themselves.
