Will Ferrell Eurovision film shot in Edinburgh arrives on Netflix today

Eurovision may not have gone ahead this year, but fans will now be able to indulge in a fictional version.

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.

Now we can finally see what all the fuss was about as Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga has officially been released on Netflix today.

Will Ferrell stars alongside Mean Girls actress Rachel McAdams and although shot in Edinburgh the story is actually set in Iceland.

Ferrell also has a co-writing credit on the film, which was originally scheduled for release in May to coincide with the real Eurovision Song Contest before its postponement.
