One of the UK’s biggest film labels Vertigo Films have acquired the rights for the UK release of the upcoming film WILL, which will hit cinemas on 21st October.
The film tells the story of a young boy’s emotional journey across Europe to watch the football team that he loves.
Eleven-year-old Will Brennan’s (Perry Eggleton) life is turned upside down when his long-absent father (Damian Lewis) reappears with tickets to the 2005 Champions League Final in Istanbul. But when fate intervenes, Will runs away to Istanbul for the biggest soccer match of the year, searching for meaning in a world that seems to have abandoned him.
Starring Damian Lewis, Bob Hoskins and Alice Krige, this heartfelt underdog story also features cameos by Liverpool Football Club manager Kenny Dalglish, and superstar footballers Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard.
According to the info that I have in front of me, we are to get the trailer for the film in early September, so check back at the site very soon for that and indeed more coverage.
