Eddie The Eagle: Anything is Possible<\/h2>\n

Filming location: Garmisch Partenkirchen<\/a>\/Oberstdorf<\/a><\/p>\n

This flick is a sports comedy drama based on the life of English ski jumper Michael Edwards aka Eddie the Eagle. In 1988, Edwards became the first Briton since 1929 to compete in ski jumping at the Winter Olympics. He was ridiculed by fellow athletes due to his shaky landings and numerous injuries. However, the ambitious bricklayer won the hearts of many fans when he jumped at the Olympics. This heart-warming film about someone who wanted to reach high all his life was shot in locations including Garmisch-Partenkirchen as well as Oberstdorf in the Allg\u00e4u region. For the ski jumping scenes in the ski jumping stadium in Oberstdorf, around 700 extras from Oberstdorf and the surrounding area were brought in to ensure that the shots were as realistic as possible. Taron Egerton plays the lead role in the multi-award-winning film, while the coach of the sympathetic Bronson Peary is embodied by Hugh Jackman.<\/p>\n
