  • Eddie Redmayne E Felicity Jones Di Nuovo Insieme a Bordo Della Mongolfiera Di Tom Harper - Di Alessia De Antoniis
    THE AERONAUTS Alla Festa Del Cinema Di Roma: Eddie Redmayne e Felicity Jones di nuovo insieme a bordo della mongolfiera di Tom Harper - di Alessia de Antoniis 19/10/2019 La storia di Amelia Wren e dell’ambizioso meterologo James Glaisher, che nel 1862 vogliono far progredire la conoscenza del tempo atmosferico e di volare più in alto di chiunque altro nella storia. Mentre stabiliscono primati e portano avanti la ricerca scientifica, il loro percorso di vita, condotto fino a limiti estremi, porta l’inverosimile coppia a trovare un posto in quel mondo che i due, dalle mongolfiere, vedono così lontano e piccolo. In un clima vittoriano e un'ambientazione che rammenta scene disneyane Tom Harper mette in scena il volo in mongolfiera da record di Glaisher e del suo collega scienziato Henry Coxwell, qui sostituito da una regina dei cieli glamour, l'immaginaria Amelia Wren. The Aeronauts è un film fantastico tratto da una storia vera, per la quale Harper e il suo sceneggiatore Jack Thorne si sono ispirati al libro Falling Upwards: How We Took the Air, di Richard Holmes. Tom Harper riunisce Eddie Redmayne e Felicity Jones, già protagonisti de La teoria del tutto. Redmayne interpreta ancora una volta uno scienziato, il pioniere della meteorologia James Glaisher, Jones interpreta un'aeronautica immaginaria, Amelia Wren, che si ritrova a doverlo aiutare. C'è suspense, avventura e qualcosa di esotico in un film che ricorda, in alcune scene, i cieli di Londra attraversati da Peter Pan con le vedute dall'altro della Londra ottocentesca. La mongolfiera sembra uno dei giocattoli della stanza di Mary Poppins, il metereologo Glaisher parte in camicia e giacca da marinaio rischiando si morire assiderato a 11.000 metri d'altezza, Amelia non ha i guanti e non le si congelano le mani.

  • Elle.Com Article on Kate Siegel's Viola
    Elle.com: Bly Manor's Kate Siegel On Why Love-Not Rage-Drives the Lady of the Lake By Emma Dibdin November 13,2020 It's now been a full month since The Haunting of Bly Manor swept onto Netflix and became everybody's favorite spooky, psychologically unsettling fall binge. If the show has been living in your nightmares rent-free, you're not alone. A big part of the reason why is Viola Willoughby, aka The Lady in the Lake. As played by Kate Siegel, Viola/The Lady in the Lake is a force of nature in every sense—a vibrant and ambitious woman whose stubbornness is both a gift and a curse. After developing a fatal lung disease, Viola refuses to accept her own fate, languishing in a hellish limbo between life and death for years before finally being murdered by her own sister. But even in death, she endures, returning as a vengeful spirit whose presence is so powerful she creates a "gravity well" at Bly Manor, dooming everybody who dies on the property to be trapped there forever. Siegel— whose husband is the series creator Mike Flanagan—is one of many Haunting of Hill House alums who returned for the new season (alongside Victoria Pedretti, Oliver Jackson- Cohen and Carla Gugino). She jumped on the phone with ELLE.com to delve into Viola's haunting arc, some of the mysteries surrounding The Lady in the Lake, and the uneasy parallels between Bly Manor and Donald Trump's delusional response to his 2020 election loss. What kind of conversations did you have with Mike about returning for Bly Manor after playing Theo in Hill House? Early on, Mike was prepping for the new season and he was talking to me about what it would be, but at a certain point I stopped asking about it.
