Amazon Studios Shares First Look of Eddie Redmayne, Felicity Jones in THE AERONAUTS

Amazon Studios has shared a first look image of Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones in THE AERONAUTS on their Twitter. (See the tweet below!) The film began shooting in the U.K. this week, according to Variety.

According to the tweet, image was taken with the two stars 2,000 feet in the air. Producer Todd Lieberman said about the photo, "We're fortunate that Felicity and Eddie have the nerve to do these stunts themselves as it authenticates our entire approach."

THE AERONAUTS, set in 1862, tells the story of a wealthy young widow and an ambitious scientist who mount a perilous hot-air balloon expedition to fly higher than anyone in history. As their ascent reveals their true selves, the unlikely pair discover things about each other and themselves that help them find their place in the world they've left below.

Lieberman says authenticity is a top priority for the film saying, "We intend to do as much balloon filming in the sky as the weather will allow. The image was taken after we launched Felicity and Eddie 2,000 feet in the air, performing their scripted scene, while a helicopter captured it all."

THE AERONAUTS is directed by Tom Harper and written by five-time BAFTA winner Jack Thorne.
