The Wrap reports that Electronic Arts is developing a sports comedy based on the so-called “Madden Curse,” the legendary hex alleged to befall any NFL player who appears on the cover of the Madden line of video games. The film would follow a former star who’s forced out of retirement at the same time he finds himself on the cover—a story not unlike Brett Favre’s, who appeared on Madden NFL 2009 as a retired Green Bay Packer, then made the last-minute decision to come out of retirement, where he was subsequently traded to the New York Jets and suffered a torn biceps injury. (Of course, since then everything else has been awesome!)
