Goal 2

Real Madrid beckons for the Toon Army's favourite player: Santiago Munez (Kuno Becker). Whilst his fiancee (Roz played by Anna Friel) plans their wedding in Newcastle, he realises every footballer's dream and gets to wear the legendary white shirt alongside David Beckham, Zinedine Zidane and Raul.

Mirroring the paths of many footballing legends before him, Santiago, in the second part of the trilogy, basks in the glory, the acclaim and the money, only for this illusion of happiness to be shattered and his life destroyed. As the fame hungry, avaricious and beautiful Jordana seduces our aspiring Galactico, his past is closing in to catastrophic results. Set against the backdrop of Real Madrid, Santiago discovers the ugly face of success and begins to lose his career, his friends and most importantly Roz. Milkshake Films and Buena Vista Pictures International present Goal! 2 directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, fresh from the global success of Joel Silver's $50 million grossing: House of Wax. Kuno Becker (English as a Second Language, The Nomad, Imagining Argentina) reprises his role as the feted footballer and Alessandro Nivola (Face Off, Jurassic Park III, Junebug) plays Gavin Harris, the ageing lothario who is past his prime. Anna Friel (The Land Girls, Me Without You) stars as the neglected fiancee alongside veteran actor Rutger Hauer (Blade Runner, Batman Returns) who plays Real Madrid coach Rudi Van Der Merwe.

Introducing the Chilean bombshell Leonor Varela (Blade II, The Tailor of Panama) as Jordana, and Elizabeth Pena (The Incredibles, Rush Hour) as his long lost mother, Goal! 2 also features some of the biggest names from the world of football including Guti and Iker Castillas. The film also stars Stephen Dillane, Sean Pertwee, Santiago Cabrera, Nick Cannon, Carmelo Gomez, Miriam Colon and Jorge Garcia. The screenplay was written by Mike Jefferies, Adrian Butchart and Terry Loane.
