Eddie the Eagle follows the story of Britain's first Olympic ski jumper Michael Edwards, who will be played by ‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ star Taron Egerton. Hugh Jackman will play Edwards' coach, who helped the somewhat inept athlete place last in two events at the 1988 Winter Olympics. Shooting is currently underway in the Alps. Isla Fisher and Gal Gadot co-star in the film, which follows a suburban couple who become embroiled in an international espionage plot when they discover that their seemingly perfect new neighbors are government spies. Jackman stars in the upcoming movie musical ‘The Greatest Showman on Earth,’ based on the life of PT Barnum and set for release on Christmas Day 2016.
