20th Century Fox has released their Eddie the Eagle Superbowl TV spot. The inspirational sports film starring Hugh Jackman and Taron Egerton recently premiered at Sundance Film Festival to huge critical praise. The film is expected to be a surprise hit when it hits theaters in a couple of weeks. Sound off in the comments with your thoughts on the new spot.
Check out the Superbowl spot below:
“Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about Michael “Eddie” Edwards (Taron Egerton), an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself – even as an entire nation was counting him out. With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach (played by Hugh Jackman), Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world by making an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. From producers of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eddie the Eagle stars Taron Egerton as Eddie, the loveable underdog with a never say die attitude.”
Eddie the Eagle hits theaters on February 26th.
