The inspirational biopic is leaping toward Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray.  

In an early announcement to retailers, 20th Century Fox is preparing 'Eddie the Eagle' for Blu-ray and Ultra HD Blu-ray later this year.

Inspired by true events, Eddie the Eagle is a feel-good story about Michael "Eddie" Edwards (Taron Egerton), an unlikely but courageous British ski-jumper who never stopped believing in himself - even as an entire nation was counting him out. With the help of a rebellious and charismatic coach (played by Hugh Jackman), Eddie takes on the establishment and wins the hearts of sports fans around the world by making an improbable and historic showing at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. From producers of Kingsman: The Secret Service, Eddie the Eagle stars Taron Egerton as Eddie, the loveable underdog with a never say die attitude.

Specs and supplements have not been detailed yet.

Suggested list price for the Blu-ray/Digital HD combo pck is $39.99. Suggested list price for the Ultra HD Blu-ray/Blu-ray/Digital HD combo pack is also $39.99.
