First Eddie The Eagle Poster And Trailer Has Landed

Cinema fans, the eagle has landed – Eddie The Eagle that is… Lionsgate has released the first trailer and poster for upcoming movie EDDIE THE EAGLE, which you can watch in the video player above.

EDDIE THE EAGLE follows the realisation of the childhood dream of Michael Edwards (a.k.a Eddie), and his unflinching determination to become Great Britain’s first Olympic ski-jumper. Reluctantly aided by former ski-jumper Bronson Peary as his coach, Eddie is unwavering in his quest to reach the 1988 Calgary Winter Games. EDDIE THE EAGLE is an uplifting, inspirational story that celebrates human spirit, passion, and one man’s refusal to accept defeat.

 
Taron Egerton (KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE) stars as Eddie and Hugh Jackman (WOLVERINE) as coach Bronson Peary. The film is directed by Dexter Fletcher (SUNSHINE ON LEITH) and produced by Matthew Vaughn (KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE) alongside Adam Bohling, David Reid, Valerie Van Galder and Rupert Maconick.

 
Joining Egerton and Jackman in the upcoming movie is Jo Hartley (THIS IS ENGLAND), Tim McInnerny (BLACKADDER), Keith Allen (ROBIN HOOD), Iris Berban (ROSA ROTH) and Rune Temte (THE LAST KINGDOM), Christopher Walken (CATCH ME IF YOU CAN) and Jim Broadbent (BRIDGET JONES’ DIARY).
