The two of them starred together for the first time in The Theory of Everything five years ago and both Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones were nominated for Oscars that year for their roles in that one, and now they are working together in THE AERONAUTS but it is safe to say this one won't be in the running for Academy Awards. It is ready, though, to premier November 4th in United Kingdom, and then from December 6th in USA and December 20th on Amazon Prime, following daredevil pilot Amelia Wren and weather scientist James Glaisher who find themselves in an epic fight for survival while attempting to make discoveries in a gas balloon.
Inspired By True Events In 1862, daredevil balloon pilot Amelia Wren (Felicity Jones) teams

This is the second time Redmayne and Jones are starring together
history. While breaking records and advancing scientific discovery,
their voyage to the very edge of existence helps the unlikely pair find
their place in the world they have left far below them. But they face
physical and emotional challenges in the thin air, as the ascent becomes
a fight for survival.
Erased For Being A Man?
Although James Glaisher was the real historical person, Amelia Wren is a fictional character who replaces his real life assistant Henry Tracey Coxwell with a female version. Wonder what would feminists have to say on

Before I see you again on Monday, after you, hopefully, spend a lovely and warm festive weekend at your homes and after I wish you a very merry Christmas if you are celebrating, I shall leave you this weekend to feast on our premium spotlight on Pierce Brosnan's new period set television series THE SON with gorgeous new character photos presenting the cast of AMC's historical series which is set to launch its ten episodes sometime next year.
FIRST SON OF TEXAS Marking the return of ex James Bond Pierce Brosnan to the small
screens after his legendary 1980's role in Remington Steele, THE SON is a
television adaptation of the book by Philipp Meyer in the form of a
multi generational epic tale of the story of America’s birth as a
superpower through the bloody rise and fall of one Texas family.
PIERCE BROSNAN LEADS CAST
Replacing Sam Neill who was originally supposed to lead the series, Pierce Brosnan plays Eli, the charismatic patriarch of the McCullough family. As a child, he was kidnapped and raised among the Comanche Native American tribe and applies the brutal Comanche world view to his business dealings. He was born on the day Texas became an independent Republic, earning the nickname “First Son of Texas” and is a relic of the Wild West, uneasy with the inexorable taming of Texas and the uncertain future of his legacy.
FAMILY AND ENEMIES Henry Garrett plays Eli’s son Pete who’s struggling to make his father proud, while Sydney Lucas plays Eli's granddaughter Jeannie, a tomboy unwilling to accept an existence of childbearing and marrying well. Jess Weixler
will play Sally, Pete’s tough, no-nonsense wife. A caring mother who is
fiercely protective of her kids, she is searching for fulfilment while
trying to keep her marriage together. David Wilson Barnes plays Eli's oldest son Phineas who never had a taste for ranch life. Nick Stevenson is Fred Bernhauer, a handsome, powerful businessman interested in the oil prospects of the McCulloughs. Elizabeth Frances
will portray Prairie Flower, a member of the Comanche tribe and Eli’s
first love. At first, she sees Eli as nothing more than a slave, but
once he is fully integrated into the tribe, she is the first to notice
there is something more to him. Carlos Bardem plays the patriarch whose family is the last of the wealthy Spanish aristocracy in South Texas. Paola Nunez
plays his daughter Maria who gets close to Pete over the course of the
series. The opening episode is directed by War and Peace director Tom Harper.
