At this past weekend’s Telluride Film Festival, the world premiere of The Aeronauts was released. To coincide with the films release, Amazon unveiled the first trailer for its forthcoming original film starring Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne and Academy Award nominee Felicity Jones.
The Aeronauts is directed by Tom Harper and is based on the historical hot air balloon flight of 1862 that set the record for the highest altitude flown. The film is lead by its two main characters Amelia Wren, (played by Jones), and James Glaisher (played by Redmayne), who put everything on the line on a balloon expedition to reach unexplored heights.
