Eddie the Eagle – UK Premiere

Here are some photos and video footage from the blue carpet at the Eddie the Eagle European premiere. Stars of the film Hugh Jackman, Taron Egerton, director Dexter Fletcher, producer Matthew Vaughan and Eddie “The Eagle” Edwards were there to celebrate this fantastic feel-good film!

Eddie the Eagle follows the realisation of the childhood dream of 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.

Eddie the Eagle is released in UK cinemas April 1 with previews from March 28.
