The aptly named Madden curse -- which dictates that if a player appears on the cover of a Madden title, injury is right around the corner -- is being made into a movie by Electronic Arts.
The Wrap has the exclusive first details on the sports comedy. EA Entertainment VP Pat O'Brien is leading the project, and the story is said to "follow a former Madden video game champion who is forced out of retirement just as he finds himself on the corner of the game's cover."
Why is it that whenever I cover game-themed movies, they always sound effing ridiculous and little ever comes from them? At least this one sounds sort of original, conceptually. More so than Asteroids, anyway.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

It's fucking real, man.
The paper reads "Congratulations, you have been selected to appear on the cover of Madden 12!"
The scene fades and a gunshot is heard.
The end.
But yaah, this will probably be awful.
The movie would be pretty damn funny though, probably really bad but at least funny
Also, best curse ever.

Well I'm not a native speaker, but the way I understand this it's about a VIDEO GAME champion, not a football player (since that would've made too much sense). Which makes the entire premise of the film seem even dumber, hard as that sounds.
