Madden needs to stick to football
u really think he can direct a movie??
share[deleted]
i heard pat summerall is going to be the DP for this film
sharelol. How r things ever gonna get done. I heard Madden said lunch breaks are going to be 5 hours a day.
No one shoots at Santa Clause!
I pray you are all just flaming idiots. John Madden, the football announcer is merely that, nothing more. John Madden the film director is a separate guy who directed SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE, CAPTAIN CORRELLI'S MANDOLIN and the 2005 Gwyneth Paltrow drama PROOF. Morons...
sharei am no moron sir or maam i was makin a joke, about pat summerall and so was the persone who posted after me. so obiosuly ur the moron
shareyea. cant we have a little fun w/o some moron comming in here and calling us idiots.
No one shoots at Santa Clause!
i heard hes gonna base the movie on the fun n gun formation
shareJohn Madden and the director and the football annoucer are the same people.
shareLook at his bio and his pictures. John Madden the director is not the same John Madden, the football announcer.
John Madden, the director: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0006960/
John Madden, The football announcer: http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0534603/
They look the same to me.
Look at the pictures and bios of both John Maddens. They are different. If you can't see that, then you need some glasses.
shareAre you blind??? It's the same person. Unless he has a twin brother.
shareJOHN MADDEN is, infact, MICKEY ROURKE and DIANE LANE as well.
Look at their pics! They are all the same person! Weird huh?
It won't matter whether it's John Madden the director or John Madden the football guy, the movie will be a flop and it won't be worth going to see. The only reason it's getting attention is because part of it was filmed nearby in Cape Girardeau and people around here are star struck by a bunch of no names. Except Johnny Knoxville. HE ROCKS!!!
share[deleted]
and DIANE LANE (Oscar nominee and definately a big star)!
shareDoes livesound1 honestly believe Johnny Knoxville is a bigger star then Rourke?
Who's the moron now?
Ask people 18-40 who they know of more. Johnny Knoxville or Mickey Rourke.
I bet it would be Knoxville.
Okay, I'm 19, and I'd recognize Mickey Rourke, Diane Lane, Rosario Dawson, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt far sooner than Johnny Knoxville.
If you ask a bunch of people who have little culture and think movies like "Jackass" are incredible, then Knoxville would more likely be the name they recognize.
Ive no idea who Knoxville is. But Love Joseph and Mickey Rourke. And of course I know the rest of the names, Just not this Knoxville dude.
shareRourke is a MILLION times better an actor than Knoxville could ever even HOPE to be.
People know Knoxville for acting like a overpaid halfwit in Jackass.
Rourke is known for his part as Marv in Sin City.
Sin City will have more staying power than Jackass. Because the next generation will have their own Jackass type show with a new Johnny Knoxville.
And I wouldn't say people well into their late 30s early 40s are Jackass fans. Late 30s ealry 40s are more likely to know Rourke.
And the two Maddens look a lot different. Madden for football as a MUCH rounder face and is more heavy set. Madden the director is shorter looking by the pictures.
HA you are an obvious monkey ass. Have you even seen Men In Black 2? I mean the range out of Knoxville was extrodinary. Your a damned fool tho think otherwise. Also how are you going to argue about Madden? Thats just dumb. Any moron can see the obvious. I mean are you really gonna argue that they are seperate people.
sharewhoa...that is weird.
who'd have thunk it?
How is it the same person if there is two seperate imdb bios of him? Dumbass.
shareHe has one for football and one for directing.
shareBOOM! Tough actin' tinactin!
shareJohn Madden directing:
Okay, so you're an actor. I need you to act this scene because actors are people that act and thats why you're here acting because you're an actor.
when I say 'cut' its like BOOM! and we're done.

I heard that Mickey Rourke is to be replaced by Brett Favre and Diane Lane by a Bloomin' Onion . . .
And man, do these joke threads ever flush out people w/ no sense of humor whatsoever!!!

Not familiar with Bloomin' Onion? What else they done?
shareOr how about the fact the the football guy is from America and the director is from Britain?
share[deleted]
I heard they hired Joe Theisman to hold the boom mic...
share[deleted]
The Britain thing is like a stage name. No one takes Americans seriously, so he pretends to be British.
[TRIVIA]: Did you know that he gets to use the same headset for announcing games as he does when he directs.
also, the "Touch Football" scene from Captain Corelli's Mandolin, was so wrenchingly poignant... WHY DID THE DELETE IT FROM THE MOVIE!?!?!?! It's not even on the DVD... damn studio jerks.
Isn't Bloomin' Onion the guy that rode the bomb in Dr. Strangelove?
Who, come to think of it, kinda looks like John Madden. Nice.

kponeill, that was perfection. wow.
Mathilda, don't you ever do that again or I'll break your head, you got that?
TURDUCKIN!!!
shareYeah - they do look like they could pass for brothers, but just read the profiles dude.
One of the first things you should notice is the difference in Birth Dates.
"And what was it last time? Didn't know what the box was?" - The Female Cenobite in Hellbound
people: they are 2 different men--using simple arithmetic, upon retirement, football's John Madden said he was 73 yrs old; whereas, director John Madden's birthday is 1949 (see bio on this site), making him 60 yrs old.
shareYour an Idiot...ITS NOT THE FOOTBALL GUY!
shareI think you need the glasses, pal. It's definately the same person. I personally thought that shakespeare in love wasn't quite as interesting as Madden '07, but to each his own, i guess.
shareyeah, he already directed monday night football and a bunch of video games. why can't you people give the guy a chance? you guys are just jealous that he might have some talent. it's his first movie, okay?! people did the same thing when burt reynolds directed elmore leonard's stick. what can you expect when you're on top? you know? it's like napoleon. when he was the king, you know, people were just constantly trying to conquer him, you know, in the Roman Empire. so, it's history repeating itself all over again.
sharelol
LOL! That was funny as hell...
Being stoned and reading this forum was a trip.
"What are you looking at? Wipe that face off your head, bitch."
No!!! They are different people. I met the director when he was shooting in our town...it's not the same guy!
shareit's a lion!
shareThe original poster and you, are morons. They are not the same person. Do u really think theres only one person in the word with the name Madden, let alone the name john. U should go slap your Momma for not getting an abortion
shareHe wants Brett Favre as the lead!
I don't think anyone actually thought your input was in question for it's motivation as a joke. I think the original poster was the idiot, you are just overly sensitive.
shareYeah, you're funny! Pat Summerall as the DP. Hi-larious!
share[deleted]
BOOM!....Tough actin' tinactin....
shareI think the only idiot would have to be the one that thinks people actually believed it was John Madden the former football coach. They were joking, idiot.
shareThere's always gotta be an idiot like you who is a kill joy for these kind of threads. Of course we know it's not John Madden the football announcer, but can't you have a little fun? Is this your first time on an imdb message board? Or do you just need to unbunch the panties out of the crack of your ass?
Have fun in life man. Don't take things too seriously.
Almost only counts with horseshoes and hand grenades.
hahah... magnolia... take a f'n joke. this post really made me chuckle. especially the pat summerall quip. good job, guys

Don't forget the Comebacks.
When I first saw his name attached to the Comebacks (which is a football spoof) - I thought it was The Football Announcer myself which made the movie that much more of a parody.
EDIT: Opps. Wrong Football player/Director.
It was Tom Brady the QB that directed The Comebacks.
