I Am Zlatan to tell the story of football star: trailer

The story of Zlatan Ibrahimovic is heading to the screen, with a June release in the UK: here’s the trailer for the incoming movie. Contrary to the current trend for documentaries about sporting stars past and present – just the week we got word of Tosh – the upcoming I Am Zlatan is doing things the old fashioned way. It’s instead going to be a movie dramatization of football star Zlatan Ibrahimovic, that’s using his autobiography as a starting point.
