Exiting Toronto International Film Festival as one of the more well-received dramas of the events, Focus Features will be releasing the Stephen Hawking‘s biopic The Theory of Everything in just over a month. Following an initial trailer, another one has now landed for the film coming from James Marsh (Man on Wire, Shadow Dancer).
Eddie Redmayne plays the genius, falling for Cambridge student Jane Wilde (Felicity Jones), before getting diagnosed with motor neuron disease as a young adult. The performances indeed look to be terrific, hopefully making for one of the better prestige dramas this fall. Also starring David Thewlis and Emily Watson, check out the trailer below, along with a domestic and international poster.
Starring Eddie Redmayne (“Les Misérables”) and Felicity Jones (“The Amazing Spider-Man 2”), this is the extraordinary story of one of the world’s greatest living minds, the renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who falls deeply in love with fellow Cambridge student Jane Wilde. 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”).
The Theory of Everything opens on November 7th.
