Pele: Birth of a Legend hits big screens in May and ahead of the highly anticipated biopic, IFC Films have just released the trailer.

The film recounts the life and times of the footballing icon and based on the trailer, it looks like the film will do him justice.

In all its glorious colour and high definition, we await it's release with bated breath. Also starring in the film is Colm Meaney who plays George Raynor, the Sweden coach who guided the national side to the final of the 1958 World Cup, only to be beaten by a Pele-inspired Brazil.
