The Green Bay Packers’ season came to a disappointing end in the Wild Card round, but there’s more “Cheesehead” football just days away.
The film Green and Gold will be released in theaters on Jan. 31. The Packers-themed film involves a farm family’s drama amid the Packers’ 1990s’ resurgence.
A trailer on X featured a blurb laying out the premise: “A struggling family farmer wagers everything on a high-stakes Super Bowl bet, while his granddaughter’s musical ambitions could be their ticket to a new beginning. … a powerful story of hope, resilience, and the unbreakable bond of family.”

If someone is literally betting the family farm on a championship win behind prolific but unpredictable quarterback Brett Favre, there should be plenty of drama.

“This movie’s going to be really popular,” Packers president Mark Murphy told the Sports Business Journal. “It tugs at the heartstrings.”
Craig T. Nelson, 80, stars as the family patriarch, along with Brandon Sklenar and Madison Lawlor as family members, and comedian Charlie Berens as a radio host. The late M. Emmet Walsh, who passed away in 2024, played his final role in the movie.
According to SBJ, the film’s independent production firm only approached the Packers regarding a formal sponsorship deal about six months ago.
“We’re a community-owned team, so for us supporting and promoting the local community is a top priority,” Murphy told SBJ.
