Trailer for Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga filmed in Edinburgh released

Last year, Hollywood actor Will Ferrell practically became an Edinburgh resident while filming his new Eurovision movie in the capital.

He was spotted grabbing a bite to eat in Brown's on George Street and was often seen scooting around Edinburgh's Calton Hill on a segway as he filmed scenes for the movie.

And now film fans will get a glimpse of the finished product as the trailer for Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga has been released.

The film is being released on Netflix and Will Ferrell stars alongside Mean Girls actress Rachel McAdams.

Although shot in Edinburgh the story is actually set in Iceland and follows Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams as they enter the Eurovision song contest.

In the trailer, you can also spot Glasgow's Hyrdo being transformed.

The film is being released on Netflix on June 26 and will feature some incredible household names such as Graham Norton Pierce Brosnan, Dan Stevens and Demi Lovato.
