It looks like the lead for Spielberg Warhorse film went to an relatively new actor, Jeremy Irvine.
Also there have been reports about Eddie possibly starring in a HBO series.
From Broadway World
Tony Award-winning playwright John Logan (RED) is developing a drama pilot with Academy Award-winning director Kathryn Bigelow (‘The Hurt Locker’) and executive producer Lydia Pilcher (‘Amelia’) for HBO. The drama, ‘Miraculous Year,’ would star RED’s Tony Award-winner Eddie Redmayne along with Tony Award-nominee Hope Davis (GOD OF CARNAGE); Tony Award-winner Norbert Leo Butz (DIRTY ROTTEN SCOUNDRELS); two-time Tony Award-winner Patti LuPone (GYPSY, EVITA); and three-time Tony Award-winner Frank Langella (FROST/NIXON, FORTUNE’S FOOL, SEASCAPE).
Miraculous Year is described as an examination of a New York family as seen through the lens of Terry Segal (Butz) a charismatic, self-destructive Broadway composer and lyricist. Langella would play Terry’s father Alex, a famous painter and imposing figure who is beginning to feel the effects of aging. Davis would play Terry’s sister Mandy Vance, a corporate lawyer who has never quite made it to the top tier and has always lived in the shadows of her famous father and brother. Redmayne would play a captivating and sexy singer/dancer in Terry’s new show who will come to play a major part in Terry’s life. In a role that could be recurring, LuPone would play a Broadway diva.
We’ll keep you updated as we hear more.
