Fantastic Beasts BTS - Eddie on the physical elements, Colleen Atwood on Newt's clothes...





"I went to safari parks to met people who deal with breathing of animals. It was interesting what
it brought, it brought physical elements to Newt. Seeing how these trackers walk trying to pursue
an animal. They have to be incredibly silent, so when they are either on the flore or walking, their
feet turn out and lift one leg and place it exactly where you want it, it's a kind of open stance.
That was something that I sort of adapted." - Eddie Redmayne

In this BTS video Eddie Redmayne talks about his preparation for the role of Newt,
the physichal elements, like the walking. Colleen Atwood costume designer on the
inspiration behind the Academy Award nominated costumes of the characters












"My first character that I designed, was Newt. I started with his movement, so everything was
designed with the character he was creating physically as well as aesthetically, but he has to
blend with the real world, so the trick of using the silhouette of the period, but sort of making
his clothes a little mismatched to sort of give a feeling of quirkiness. He's a character that
came from living in the wilderness, he adapts everything to what he needs". - Colleen Atwood

Eddie Redmayne speaks up for Mousetrap charity

This promo film was specially made for the charity and shown in London Picturehouse Cinemas before 
Eddie’s film Fantastic Beasts And Where To Find Them. Visit www.mousetrap.org.uk to find out more
The video was released on Youtube last November, but so much happened then, somehow I missed it.


"Since I was a kid, I've been truly captivated by that mystery, and that feeling of something magical about to happen, and that love of live theatre has never left me. And that is why I'm a patron of Mousetrap theatre projects. A charity that takes disadvantaged young people and those with special needs to the theatre, opening that magical world to them..."

Eddie about his life changing theatre experience as a kid: 
'I was taken by my Mum aged about 10 to see A Midsummer Night's Dream at the National Theatre. The Robert Lepage production was all set in a muddy swamp with the lovers romping around in the sludge. Timothy Spall was playing Bottom and the most staggering contortionist was playing Puck. I remember so vividly that moment when Bottom was 'transformed'- Puck (Angela Laurier) leapt on to Bottom's back and the actresses feet became Bottom's donkey ears- alive twitching and full of character. I was transfixed. After the play Mum and I went on the 'National Behind the scenes' tour and got to handle the props and see the costume store... I was completely mesmerised. 
That was the moment I got the bug.' (x)

Earlier this month Eddie was spotted in the National Theatre
