War Art with Eddie Redmayne on ITV 24 May - DVD shipping on 2 June 2015

"I have attempted as an actor to play someone from the First World War and of course when prepping you do as much research as you can.

Foxtrot’s new film WAR ART with Eddie Redmayne, directed by Margy Kinmonth, will receive its 

world premiere broadcast on the ITV Network in the UK on Sunday 24 May at 22.35.

Redmayne’s art skills lay bare horrors of war

...In War Art, an ITV programme to be broadcast next Sunday, Redmayne — who played Stephen Wraysford in the television adaptation of Birdsong, Sebastian Faulks’s wartime novel — will use the knowledge he gained studying history of art to analyse works created by those who faced the horror of the western front.
