At the 1988
Winter Olympics in
Calgary, British ski jumper
'Eddie "The Eagle" Edwards' not only surprised everyone with his tenacious performance, but won the hearts of a nation at the same time.
Taron Egerton plays the lovable skiing underdog who was the first person to represent
Great Britain in
Olympic ski jumping, challenging the establishment with the help of his charismatic, rebellious coach, played by
Hugh Jackman.
The billboards for this feel-good film based on a true story were first snapped along
Olympic Boulevard (how apt) on January 29, then later along
West Hollywood's Sunset Strip on February 1, 2016.
For more sports-themed movies, be sure to also check out these
Draft Day film billboards,
Million Dollar Arm billboards,
7 Days in Hell billboards and
Real Steel movie billboards (fighting robots count, right? Plus it stars
Hugh Jackman).
Every underdog has his day and from the looks of things, it's time for
Eddie the Eagle to get a second chance at fame.
Fly
Eddie, fly.
