佩里披露，这部电影最初只是一部简单的励志电影，并没有指明具体的俱乐部，但最终发现利物浦狂热的球迷和神奇的伊斯坦布尔之夜非常符合，佩里说：“我们在利物浦拍了杰拉德和卡拉格的戏份，达格利什去伊斯坦布尔完成了他的戏份，他也是我们戏组工作人员的偶像，我记得一个工作人员说‘我看到了达格利什的腿，我说喔，那是国王的腿’，他们都是如此伟大的巨星，看到他们如此耐心和友善让人非常兴奋。
A few Reds have been asking us about a movie coming out that focuses on Liverpool Football and our Champions League win in Instanbul back in 2005. Kenny Dalglish, Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard all feature in the movie called 'Will' which stars Damian Lewis, Bob Hoskins and Perry Eggelton.
Eleven-year-old Will Brennan (Eggelton) is the world's biggest Liverpool football fan. At his boys' school in southern England, Will's love and knowledge of The Beautiful Game is all that sustains him. Then out of nowhere appears Will's absent, ne'er-do-well father, Gareth (Lewis), and with two tickets to the biggest match of the year: the Champions League Final in Istanbul. But before the two can begin their journey, Gareth dies suddenly. Determined to make the trip and honour his father's dream, Will runs away.
En route, he encounters Alek (Kristian Kiehling), a former Yugoslavian football star who abandoned the game during his country's civil war. Despite his initial reluctance to help, Alek finds himself inspired by Will's heroic journey and helps him fulfill his dream. By the time they reach the Atatürk Olympic Stadium, their underdog story echoes thunderously in the hearts and imaginations of millions across the globe. By refusing to give up, Will and Alek have restored their faith in friendship, football and life.
Will - which is due out in Summer 2011 - was filmed at various locations in Liverpool, Kent, Paris and Turkey, including Istanbul's Atatürk Olympic Stadium, and also at Elstree Studios.
Vertigo Films are proud to announce the wide UK theatrical release of WILL. This much anticipated film that tells the story of a young boy’s emotional journey across Europe to watch the football team that he loves will be released in the UK on the 21st of October.
Eleven-year-old Will Brennan’s (Perry Eggleton) life is turned upside down when his long-absent father (Damian Lewis) reappears with tickets to the 2005 Champions League Final in Istanbul. But when fate intervenes, Will runs away to Istanbul for the biggest soccer match of the year, searching for meaning in a world that seems to have abandoned him.
Starring Damian Lewis (Band of Brothers, and Showtime’s upcoming Homeland), Bob Hoskins (A Christmas Carol, Who Framed Roger Rabbit) and Alice Krige (Chariots of Fire, Star Trek: First Contact) this heartfelt underdog story also features cameos by Liverpool Football Club manager Kenny Dalglish, and superstar footballers Jamie Carragher and Steven Gerrard.
The Chief Executive of GalataFilm, Taha Altayli, said, “We’re excited to be working with Vertigo which had two Oscar nominated films last year. We know that Vertigo’s expertise will find the audience and acclaim that this fabulous family film deserves.”
WILL is a co-production between Istanbul based GalataFilm and LA/UK-based Strangelove Films and is an original screenplay by Zack Anderson and Ellen Perry. It is also the feature directorial debut film of the Emmy-nominated Perry. Her fellow producers include Altayli and Anderson, Stewart Till, Stephen Moffitt, Mustafa Karahan, Muharrem Gulmez, Timothy Nicholas and Mark Cooper.
