Madden NFL 16: Bizarre Movie Created For Madden Trailer [Watch]
A brand new trailer for Madden NFL 16 turns the football simulation video game into a preview for an action movie. The five minute video features NFL stars Rob Gronkowski, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown, and Colin Kaepernick and actors Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse, Gamespot reports.
The video starts with Franco and Mintz-Plasse sitting down to a game of Madden 16. A call comes in and the caller ID on the phone is blocked. Franco answers the call and is informed that his girlfriend Trish has been kidnapped, and in order to save her he will have to beat the caller in a game of Madden 16 within 24 hours to get her back.
Franco, who is Blade Johnson in the movie, needs to assemble a team in order to get Trish back. He and Mintz-Plasse, who is playing Janet in the movie, recruit the help of Rob Gronkowski as Half Top, a bodybuilder with half a T-shirt, Julio Jones as Trick Montalban, a man with a flying suit and Antonio Brown as a smooth-talking Sticky Bun. Coach Rex Ryan will help train the entire team as Lil Pepper. Additionally Colin Kaepernick will play Al Pacino from "Scent of a Woman."
Franco tells the players that he needs their help and informs Lil Pepper that he needs the players to be trained. Mintz-Plasse refers to Lil Pepper as his dad, but Lil Pepper denies this.
Lil Pepper is shown motivating the players and Blade Johnson as they practice against each other in Madden 16. Trish's kidnapper grows impatient and demands that Blade comes to play him.
The kidnapper's assistants inform him he has company and Blade Johnson and his team start invading the warehouse where they attack ninjas with karate chops and Half Top shoots a machine gun of footballs and some motorcyclists. While Blade Johnson continues to train with Lil Pepper, Sticky Bun throws some footballs at ninjas and Janet knocks out some enemies too.
Blade Johnson is getting the hang of Madden 16, but out of nowhere Lil Pepper is shot with a football from a sniper across the room and dies. The team is sad, especially Janet and plans to get revenge.
The final scene shows the team encountering the kidnapper and Trish is on his side. Janet brings a dinosaur with him and before the two teams can fight, the dinosaur eats the kidnapper.
Blade Johnson screams at Janet for killing the kidnapper.
"We were just about to play him," Blade Johnson yells.
"We were about to throwdown," Half Top says.
Finally at the end of the video for about 10 seconds there are small clips of the actual game. The whole video is very bizarre, but certainly will grab viewers.
