Late last year, the rumour mills were spinning that Netflix had commissioned an original film based on the Eurovision Song Contest. Now, it looks like Pierce Brosnan will be joining the cast.
Not much has been revealed about Netflix original comedy Eurovision. In fact, Netflix has been so secretive about the project, that it isn’t even guaranteed that the movie will be called Eurovision. What we do know, however, is that the movie is 100% in production, and will feature Pierce Brosnan.
And what movie based around singing and entertaining would be complete without the flawless vocals of our world’s most fine-tuned performer, Pierce “singing is not necessarily my forte” Brosnan?
ABBA wishes they sounded this good:
It goes without saying that the movie will be based on and inspired by everyone’s favourite zany collection of anthems, the Eurovision Song Contest.
So far there has been quite a bit of information leaking throughout the months, and we know that Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams will be playing the lead roles, as what is heavily rumoured to be two Icelandic individuals competing in the Eurovision song contest.
The plot could possibly touch upon the fact that Iceland hasn’t won the competition since their debut entry in 1986.
Paul Inglis is said to be the production designer for the film, which is exciting since his resume is incredibly impressive, including films such as Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, Skyfall, Blade Runner 2049, Jason Bourne, Prometheus, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation, and Game of Thrones.

The role of art director is said to belong to Nigel Evans, which is also amazing news, as Nigel’s back catalogue includes Spider-Man: Far From Home, Deadpool and War For The Planet of The Apes.
Filming will be taking place in Iceland, where the film is rumoured to begin, and will also be filmed in Tel-Aviv, Israel.
A release date is yet to be announced by Netflix.
