EXCLUSIVE: Will Ferrell is in huddling to star as the NFL’s John Madden in Madden, a theatrical feature to be directed for Amazon/MGM by five-time Oscar nominee David O. Russell (American Hustle), multiple sources tell Deadline.

Frank Caliendo Is the only choice

Goodness, no. Someone who I think could pull off John Madden is the comedian Frank Caliendo. His Pat Summerall/John Madden routines are comedy gold and I think the "Hollywood makeup people" could work their magic and have Caliendo look pretty much like Madden.

But Will Ferrell? No...not interested.
