EDDIE THE EAGLE (2016) Movie Trailer: Hugh Jackman Brings U.K. To Olympics

Eddie The Eagle Movie Trailer. Dexter Fletcher‘s Eddie The Eagle (2016) movie trailer stars Hugh Jackman, Taron Egerton and Christopher Walken. Eddie The Eagle‘s plot synopsis: “The story of Great Britain’s first ski jumper to enter the Winter Olympics.”

We reported on this film but a day ago, when the first batch of movie stills were released. Today, we have a full trailer for you. Take a look below!

According to Slashfilm, “Like pretty much all ‘based on a true story’ movies, Eddie the Eagle takes significant liberties with the source material. The real Edwards, who visited the set multiple times, has stressed that “only 10 to 15%” of the movie is true, though he doesn’t necessarily seem upset about it. ‘There’s always a certain amount of [poetic licence] but I’m kind of anxious – what exactly have they put in about my life and how have they portrayed me?’ he said. Accurate or not, Eddie the Eagle has already earned a lot of affection from filmgoers at Butt-Numb-A-Thon, who praised its crowdpleasing mix of heart and humor.”
