Focus has revealed the above new picture of Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones in James Marsh‘s The Theory of Everything, a film in which Redmayne plays renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who falls deeply in love with fellow Cambridge student Jane Wilde (Jones). Emily Watson and David Thewlis co-star.
The film will have its world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival in September before hitting theaters on November 7 and the first trailer will be arriving this Wednesday, August 6 and once it’s online I’ll have it for you.
Marsh is the acclaimed director of the documentary Man on Wire and to look at the pictures released so far it would appear the film will largely be a romantic drama more than anything else. Check out two additional pics below.
Once a healthy, active young man, Hawking received an earth-shattering diagnosis at 21 years of age. With Jane fighting tirelessly by his side, Stephen embarks on his most ambitious scientific work, studying the very thing he now has precious little of – time. Together, they defy impossible odds, breaking new ground in medicine and science, and achieving more than they could ever have dreamed. The film is based on the memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen, by Jane Hawking, and is directed by Academy Award winner James Marsh (“Man on Wire”).
