'The thought of building on what we'd already established in 'Theory of Everything' I think gave us an enormous confidence,' Jones said on collaborating with Eddie Redmayne again in TheAeronauts
Eddie Redmayne, Felicity Jones and Tom Harper at Wednesday night's 'Aeronauts' premiere.
Trapped thousands of feet in the air, the two trailblazers must survive extreme weather events as they navigate flying higher than anyone before them in the name of air travel, weather science and the spirit of discovery. both actors were sent the script on the same day, and after calling each other up, mutually agreed to do the movie only if the other did.
. Its most central journey, however, is an adaptation of a September 1862 expedition mounted by British aeronauts James Glaisher and Henry Coxwell. At the time, their harrowing adventure in a coal gas balloon broke the world flight altitude record. The book's detailing of this captured a sense of adventure for Harper. that the men's encounter — piloting the balloon and taking consistent measurements — meant there was little time to speak to each other.
Before working on the film, Redmayne was mostly unfamiliar with the film's era of historical exploration. But Harper's decision to examine this point in time through the lens of both a woman and a man was part of what attracted the actor to the project.
