went to great lengths — and heights — to make their movie about pioneering balloonists in 19th century England. So did stars Eddie Redmayne, who plays meteorologist James Glaisher, and Felicity Jones, cast as daredevil pilot Amelia Wren.
“Right from the very beginning Felicity was really determined to embrace the physical attributes, the physical side of the performance,” director Tom Harper said recently at Deadline’s annual The Contenders New York. “She did the vast majority of her own stunts including actually flying in the balloon with Eddie and she climbed out of the basket at 3,000 feet as well and sat on the hoop of the balloon.
Deadline’s Pete Hammond asked producer Todd Lieberman if he didn’t have qualms about subjecting his stars to danger at high elevation. “They’re phenomenal,” Lieberman replied. “It’s worth saying how talented, how dedicated they are, but it’s also worth saying just how great they are as people and that adds just to the beauty of making a movie like this.”, released in theaters earlier this month and now streaming on Amazon Prime, reunites the leads from 2014’s, which netted an Oscar nomination for Jones and an Oscar win for Redmayne.
