First official photo of Eddie and Felicity from ‘The Aeronauts’

Here’s the proof, that they were on the balloon spotted in Oxfordshire last month. 

Amazon Studios released the first official image from the upcoming film.

 “A top priority for us on The Aeronauts is authenticity. With that in mind, we intend 

to do as much balloon filming in the sky as the weather will allow,” producer Todd 

Lieberman explained via press statement. “This image was taken after we launched 

Felicity and Eddie 2,000 feet in the air, performing their scripted scene, while a 

helicopter captured it all. We’re fortunate that Felicity and Eddie have the nerve 

to do these stunts themselves as it authenticates our entire approach.” (via EW)

“This is a journey to the very edge of existence, where the air is thin and the 

chances of survival are slim,” reads the official synopsis for the movie.

 “As their perilous ascent reveals their true selves, this unlikely pair discover 

things about each other – and themselves – that help them find their place in 

the world they have left behind.” (via: RadioTimes) 

The studio revealed cast and crew members: Tom Courtenay, Anne Reid, 

Rebecca Front, Vincent Perez, Tim McInnerny, Phoebe Fox and Himesh Patel 

are joining the cast. Director of Photography is George Steel, hair and make-up
by Jenny Shircore. Louis Morin is the VFX Supervisor. (via: Deadline)

Some crew members worked on Eddie's previous projects: 

The costume designer is Alexandra Byrne (Elizabeth: The Golden Age), 

production designers are David Hindle (The Theory of Everything) 

and Christian Huband (Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them). 

I think I have to update my Oscar winner and GOT post soon.
