The story of Eddie Edwards, the notoriously tenacious British underdog ski jumper who charmed the world at the 1988 Winter Olympics.
Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle stars Taron Egerton, Hugh Jackman and Christopher Walken. It looks to be one of those feel-good films and what’s not to love about the cast? I’m really intrigued to see how Taron Egerton will do. He was great in Kingsman: The Secret Service and Legend.
Fun fact: Don’t be fooled by the “inspired by true events” tagline. Apparently, the real-life Eddie Edwards himself told BBC News that the film is about 85-90% made up.
