The comedic biopic comes from LOCK, STOCK AND TWO SMOKING BARRELS actor and SUNSHINE ON LEITH director Dexter Fletcher, and stars Taron Egerton (KINGSMAN: THE SECRET SERVICE) as Michael Edwards (better known as Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards), the first competitor to represent Great Britain in Olympic ski jumping, and Hugh Jackman as Bronson Peary, his coach/mentor. Although Edwards (spoiler alert?) ended up finishing last in both the 70m and 90m events at the 1988 Winter Games
, he became popular for his "heroic failures."! No longer available (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zs3QK7uj9Ng#)
