Stadium set for Real Madrid movie

David Beckham and Ronaldo appear in the film

Real Madrid's Bernabeu Stadium will be transformed into a giant cinema for the premiere of a movie about the Spanish football club.

Up to £230,000 is being spent on the premiere of Real: The Movie, said industry website Screen Daily.

Stars of the movie including David Beckham and Zinedine Zidane - who play themselves - are expected to attend.

The movie follows the stories of five characters from around the world, who all love Real Madrid.

'Most expensive'

The fictional stories are mixed in with documentary footage of Real Madrid players, including Ronaldo and Guti.

Up to 3,000 people have been invited to the premiere in the capital city, which will see the film projected onto a giant inflatable screen.

Producers suggest it is the most expensive premiere in Spanish history, according to Screen Daily.

The film, directed by Borja Manso and officially endorsed by Real Madrid, opens in Spain on Friday.
