Early Oscar buzz - BBC interview and Toe review - captures and promo pic


BBC NEWS: Early Oscar buzz around Eddie Redmayne
Film critics are touting British actor Eddie Redmayne as a favourite to win an Oscar next year for his portrayal
of the British physicist Stephen Hawking...
Talking Movies' Tom Brook spoke to Eddie Redmayne to find out how the actor prepared for the role.




This BBC - Talking Movies article is based on this interview too:
Eddie Redmayne: ‘How I played Stephen Hawking’
Redmayne has been praised for a visceral performance that drew on months of research into the disease. He tells
Tom Brook about meeting Hawking on set, and what he learned from spending time with MND sufferers.
“It’s like being in a prison with the walls getting smaller everyday… 
what it did to Stephen was it catalysed him to live life fully.”

BBC CULTURE Review: The Imitation Game and The Theory of Everything
…In The Theory of Everything, Eddie Redmayne seems like he was put on earth to play Stephen Hawking. 
First he is a gawkishly charming Oxford grad student in physics, the kind of guy who scrawls out the perfect answers to his professor’s brain-teaser questions on a train schedule right before class. And then, after he’s diagnosed with motor-neurone disease, as the audacious genius of space-time theory whose mind only grows more infinite as his body crumples up, his head hanging off his neck, his limbs twisted and useless, his mouth contorting itself around the words (and that’s when he can still speak).
This is acting out of the My Left Foot handbook, except that where Daniel Day-Lewis twisted his virtuosity over a bottomless pit of passion and rage, Redmayne rarely deviates from Hawking’s whimsical quizzicality. It’s a less wrenching, more user-friendly tour de force. 


Fortunately for Hawking, Jane (Felicity Jones), a comely, devoted fellow student, has fallen for his brain, and for his kindness; she marries him, gives him children, and (mostly) stands by him. That they have an active sex life is treated with a happy wink. It’s the film’s slightly funny way of saying, “You don’t need to feel sorry for Stephen Hawking.” 
I just wish that the movie allowed us to feel our way into his mind more. Not his theories, which shift back and forth with the wind: the universe is expanding, then it’s contracting, then time has an end, then it’s infinite – and it is all a great big metaphor for… love (or something). No, I wish that Hawking’s story had been made much more intensely personal and lacerating. When you watch The Theory of Everything, you know that Stephen Hawking exists – and Redmayne’s inspired mimicry nails him – but you also feel that if he didn’t, a movie like this one would have had to invent him.

“Both men and women should feel free to be sensitive. 
Both men and women should feel free to be strong.”

New trailer for Jupiter Ascending - video, gifs, captures

METRO:
Check out a seriously menacing Eddie Redmayne in the new Jupiter Ascending trailer
...Jupiter Ascending looks like a retina-burning thrill ride that should look amazing on the big screen, proving
that blockbusters aren’t just for the summer holidays.
And how creepy/whispery does Redmaybe look. British villains really are the best...
...Kunis’ character is empowered and central to events, rather than the damsel in distress seen in earlier versions.
As judged by this preview, Jupiter Ascending will be The Hunger Games in space. Doesn't that just seem like
a more fun movie than what was originally advertised?...

The Telegraph: Douglas Booth interview
...The next film we’ll see Booth in is Jupiter Ascending, a long-awaited, long-delayed science fiction epic from the Wachowski siblings, which is now due for release in February. He plays some kind of intergalactic playboy called Titus Abrasax, part of a dynasty that also includes Eddie Redmayne and Tuppence Middleton’s characters. I think. Details of the plot are closely guarded, and even Booth has a job on his hands straightforwardly explaining it.
“When I first got the script, it was delivered and then taken away, because it’s so secret. Someone said, 'Douglas, make sure you take a notebook, because it will be hard to follow.’ Because the Wachowskis create so much original material. They won’t just call a table a table. A table will be some new word that they’ve invented. Everything has to be new and original and bizarre.”...
