FC Barcelona have released a trailer ahead of the launch of a new official movie about the club’s history. The film is titled “Barça Dreams” and it depicts the story of the important people and players who grazed the walls of this historical club over 115 years.
The current lot of players including Lionel Messi, Andres Iniesta and Gerard Pique feature in the movie alongside the great players and coaches who served the club. The high profile list includes Xavi Hernandez, Johan Cryuff, Ronaldinho, Louis van Gaal, Ronald Koeman, Gary Lineker, Carles Rexach, José Mari Bakero and Éric Abidal. The movie will be released on October 9.
A statement on FC Barcelona’s website along with the trailer read, “The movie has taken two years to make, during which time historic material has been gathered, images of games have been recorded and 3D animations have been created, along with a series of interviews that form the main thread of the production.
“The final result, Barça Dreams, is an emotional journey into the soul of the Club as explained through some of the most important figures in its 115 year history, from founder Joan Gamper through to Leo Messi, and including such legends as Kubala, Cruyff and Ronaldinho, all of whom are essential for understanding how the Club came to develop its own unique playing style, and one which has consistently been the focus of worldwide admiration.”
The movie is directed by Jordi Llampart, he feels that a club as big as Barcelona deserves this movie. He told the club’s website, “Barça deserved a documentary film like this, which explains why its history is so unique and explores its revolutionary contribution to the modern football spectacle … A lot of Barça fans, especially abroad, will be surprised by the different anecdotes and historical facts that reveal the extent to which Barça is much more than a mere sports club”.
With Cristiano Ronaldo’s movie releasing a month later, it will be interesting to see how both the movies fare. So far, the film (Barça Dreams) has already been released in Mexico and Britain and is being well received.
