Nicolas Cage is making/has made a movie called Arsenal, which, from the trailer, you might not think is about soccer, specifically not about the North London-based EPL team of the same name.
But it is.
For a non-soccer, more Nicolas Cage-focused take on the trailer, read UPROXX's Brian Grubb on the subject.
The official trailer for xXx: Return of Xander Cage has been released. This may not seem like soccer information to you. This is absolutely soccer information.
We just want everybody to know that the trailer for the new xXx movie, xXx: Return of Xander Cage, has convinced us that the movie is basically perfect in every way.
We know we're a soccer website. Relax. Neymar is in it.
Neymar's acting career is reportedly off to a hot start while he waits his turn to represent Brazil this summer. The Brazil captain will evidently appear in the next xXx movie with Vin Diesel.
Wait, what? Like Vin Diesel the person? Not some copycat Vin Diesel look-alike? Oh, this is going to be grand.
We, for one, can't wait for xXx: State of the Selecao, or whatever it's called. Look at this Instagram post and tell us you're not excited for this.
Ronaldinho is going to be a movie star. An action movie star. In a movie. With Mike Tyson in it. Apologies for the sentence fragments so far, but my brain has exploded. It's the best I can do, given the circumstances.
The circumstances, for those interested are that 'Dinho is going to be in a movie called Kickboxer: Retaliation alongside Mike Tyson, the dude who played "The Mountain" on Game of Thrones and Alain Moussi.
We've all seen ESPN 30 for 30's. If you haven't, then it's time for you to reevaluate your life and go watch The Two Escobars. But until you do that, you now know the directors of The Two Escobars are coming out with a movie surrounding arguably the greatest footballer to ever live; Pele. The life story of the Brazilian legend is a great one, surrounded by the inspiring rags to riches fairy tale. Growing up in poverty filled neighborhood in Sao Paulo, Brasil, Pele worked in a tea shop as a child and played football with anything other than a real ball.
So, here's the deal: supposedly, there is actually a Jamie Vardy movie in the works. No, seriously. The English striker's rise from factory worker playing non-league soccer to Premier League record-breaker has apparently perked up the ears of executives in Hollywood. The man behind the movie, Adrian Butchart, is the man behind the "Goal!" trilogy and he has reportedly started the conversation on getting a Vardy movie made.
Six-one down with less than half an hour to go. That's what confronted Queensland NPL team Gold Coast City in their match against Holland Park Hawks. Most teams would completely capitulate. They would collapse like a budget themepark, fold like a cocktail napkin, wither away like my ill-fated flower garden, and probably some other similes as well. But not this team. This team was about to mount a great comeback.
Jamie Vardy is Santiago Munez. Santiago Munez is Jamie Vardy. They are one and the same.
Vardy's story has understandably drawn comparisons to the plot of the movie "Goal!" And now, the writer of that same movie is apparently pitching a project about Vardy's life. It should be deja vu if the writer actually gets the Vardy movie made.
"Senna" is one of the best sports documentaries we've seen. It holds its own in a genre that's been increasingly crowded with quality films, especially since the launch of ESPN's 30 for 30 series.
Ostensibly, "Senna" has very little to do with Cristiano Ronaldo, but that's about to change. The team behind "Senna" has produced a documentary about the Portuguese superstar that looks at the life of one of the most recognizable athletes in the world, and how he got to be one of the most recognizable athletes in the world.
