They're three of the finest players to have ever donned the Red jersey - and now Kenny Dalglish, Steven Gerrard and Jamie Carragher are set to grace the big screen in a forthcoming movie based around Liverpool's 2005 Champions League final triumph.

Set for nationwide release this Friday, 'Will' tells the story of 11-year-old schoolboy Will Brennan - a rabid Kopite whose knowledge of the game outstrips even that of his football-obsessed classmates.

However, Will's life is turned on its head when his long-absent father, Gareth, reappears...complete with two tickets for the Champions League final in Istanbul.

But before they can rekindle their relationship, Gareth passes away suddenly.

Heartbroken, Will decides to make the arduous trek to the Ataturk Stadium on his own in honour of his late father and also to be with his beloved Reds.

En route, he encounters Alek, a former Yugoslavian football star who gave up the game following the civil war in his country.

Despite his initial reluctance, Alek finds himself inspired by Will's heroic journey and agrees to take him to Istanbul. And thus this unlikely pair of underdogs takes to the road, battling fate and fortune in a desperate bid to prove to themselves that it's never too late to dream.

Starring the likes of Damian Lewis, Bob Hoskins, Kristian Kiehling and Perry Eggleton, much of 'Will' was filmed on location at the Ataturk Stadium.

And if that wasn't enough reason for Liverpool fans to go and see the movie - there are also cameos by Dalglish, Gerrard and Carragher.

Director Ellen Perry explains: "The match at the Ataturk Stadium where Liverpool came from three goals down to beat AC Milan on penalties was epic, operatic, impossible but also true.

"The more we learned about it, the more it seemed the perfect setting for and culmination of Will's journey. Emotional, exotic, and watched by hundreds of millions worldwide - this was a massive stage on which we wanted to tell an intimate story of one boy's loss and redemption.

"But beyond the 2005 final, Liverpool FC has a special relationship with its fans. Its anthem, 'You'll Never Walk Alone' encapsulates Will's story, and exhorts one and all to never give up, to never quit on your friends and family, to always strive to be your best. That's not a bad outlook.

"Of course there are many other big clubs in Europe and around the world. But Liverpool made the most sense. The Istanbul final made even greater sense.

"And having King Kenny Dalglish appear both as a distant memory and also in the flesh was like a gift from the heavens."

In the build-up to the release of the film, Liverpoolfc.tv will be running a series of features and exclusive interviews with cast and crew members this week - and to start, we've got a trailer of the movie which you can enjoy for free below.
