‘Madden’ premieres on Amazon Prime
A biographical sports film detailing the life of the late football legend John Madden is set to premiere Nov. 18 on Amazon Prime.
“Madden” covers the longtime Pleasanton resident’s rise as head coach of the Oakland Raiders, his transition to becoming a color commentator for NFL games and how he became the face and name of the Madden NFL video games, one of the best-selling video game franchises of all time.
“Madden is the celebration of a brilliant mind whose once-in-a-century spirit and personality, partnership with his daring wife, Virginia, lifelong friendships and infectious love of people and football transcended the world of sports,” according to an Amazon MGM press release.
The film is directed by David O. Russell and boasts a star-studded cast: Nicolas Cage stars as Madden alongside Christian Bale as Raiders owner Al Davis, John Mulaney as EA Sports founder Trip Hawkins and Kathryn Hahn as Virginia Madden.
Adopt a Senior
CityServe of the Tri-Valley has launched its annual “Adopt a Senior” Christmas program, in which community members can purchase holiday gifts for local seniors.
Volunteers gather the items and prepare special gift bags that are then delivered to seniors who are already being served by the social-services nonprofit.
“For many of these seniors, the greatest gift isn’t just what’s inside the bag,” Ken Mano, a local volunteer, said in CityServe’s press release. “It’s knowing that someone in their community remembers them, cares about them and wants to make their Christmas a little brighter.”
