Madden Season Is Freakishly Bigger Than Ever With This Fake 5-Minute Movie Trailer

Now the wait is over, as EA Sports has released the bizarrely over-the-top 5-minute clip starring Franco (again) alongside NFL stars like Rob Gronkowski, Antonio Brown and Julio Jones.

Produced by San Francisco agency Heat, the epic video for Madden 16 is a sprawling homage to 1980s action movies, replete with haircuts and wardrobe choices that are regrettable to the point of being admirable.

Don't like football? Don't worry, there's not much of it in this ad. You can just sit back and enjoy the pure insanity.
