Exclusive: Dexter Fletcher on Eddie the Eagle, and the Allure of the Underdog

0

As Eddie the Eagles soars into UK cinemas this weekend, it’s fair to say the film lands steadily on its feet, as a timeless, completely charming endeavour that thrives in the notion of the perennial underdog. We had the pleasure of sitting down with the man helming the project, Dexter Fletcher, to discuss his third directorial outing.

Speaking about the allure of tales of this nature and characters such as Eddie, and his thoughts on approaching the biopic, and balancing the reality of the narrative, with a steady injection of creative licence.

Eddie the Eagle is released on April 1st, and you can read our five star review here.
