The trailer for the soccer comedy film Next Goal Wins, directed by Taika Waititi and starring Michael Fassbender, Elisabeth Moss, Rhys Darby, and Will Arnett, has been released today by Searchlight.
The movie is based on a 2015 documentary of the same name, which tells the true story of Dutch coach Thomas Rongen’s efforts to transform the American Samoa soccer team’s fortunes, infamous for their 31-0 FIFA loss in 2001. With the World Cup Qualifiers looming, the team hires a maverick coach (Fassbender) to try and turn their fortunes around.
