  • 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.

Running in London’s West End since summer 2016 and due to transfer to Broadway in 2018, Cursed Child presents an unusual case-study of what happens when an author working in other media chooses to revive their own storyworld only onstage. This makes it the ideal focus point to explore what happens when theatre and fandom collide. The play script was also published in book format, and quickly became the fastest-selling theatre script since records began.
