The trailer for a Netflix film starring Will Ferrell which was shot in Edinburgh has been unveiled.

Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga was filmed in the city in October last year.

The film follows aspiring musicians Lars and Sigrit, played by Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams, who are given the opportunity of a lifetime to represent their country at the world’s biggest song competition.

The pair had been spotted smiling as they hung out of a car sunroof as they were driven from the Grassmarket up Victoria Street to George IV Bridge last year.

Ferrell was also seen filming scenes in Princes Street Gardens.

The trailer features Glasgow’s SSE Hydro, which has been transformed into the Eurovision Song Contest venue for the film. 

Graham Norton, who provides a voiceover each year for the contest, has a role in the film, as well as Pierce Brosnan, Dan Stevens and Demi Lovato.

The movie will be released on Netflix on June 26.
