The first Eddie The Eagle photos have surfaced online. The film is a biopic starring Taron Egerton and Hugh Jackman about the legendary British ski-jumper known for his sheer determination at the Winter Olympics in Calgary in 1988. Dexter Fletcher directs the biopic, which is due in cinemas in the spring.
Here’s the official synopsis:
The film details the inspiring exploits of Michael Edwards, better known as “Eddie the Eagle,” the most famous ski jumper in British history. The film’s portrayal of Edwards’ never-say-die approach to the sport, celebrates the human spirit and resilience in the face of extraordinary odds and challenges. Taron Egerton, who made his feature film starring debut in Kingsman: The Secret Service, portrays Eddie the Eagle, and Hugh Jackman plays a ski jumping expert from Lake Placid who helps Eddie train for the Calgary Olympics.
