The Daily Mail reports that Eddie will be in Stephen Poliakoff’s next film, 1939 where he will play the son of Bill Nighy and Jenny Agutter.  The film is set at a time when Churchill wanted to fight, while Prime Minister Chamberlain wanted to avoid conflict altogether.  Romola Garai will play the lead, as an actress who has been adopted by Eddie’s parents.  It will also star Juno Temple, Julie Christie, Charlie Cox, Hugh Bonneville, Jeremy Northam and Christopher Lee.  It is set to be released by BBC Films sometime next year.

While Ivonne was in the process of backing up ERO, my latest post was accidentally deleted. Here it is once more.

Terri Paddock recently spoke with Eddie Redmayne about his past, present, and future.

I did a couple of films in America last year. One with Forest Whittaker called Powder Blue and the other with William Hurt and Maria Bello called Yellow Handkerchief. They’re coming out later this year or early next. There’s another film job I’m probably going on to but I’m not able to speak about it yet.

I wonder if he’s talking about White Male Heart where he stars alongside Cillian Murphy?

According to Playbill News Now or Later written by Christopher Shinn is a play about the upcoming US presidential election.  Eddie will play John Jr.

“Examining themes of religion, freedom of expression and personal responsibility, the play is set, according to press materials, “on election night in the U.S. [when] things are looking rosy for the Democratic Party. Holed up in a hotel, watching the results flood in, are the likely President-elect, his wife, advisors and 20-year-old son John Jnr. Every speech, interview and photocall has been carefully controlled and meticulously orchestrated, all leading up to this big night. At the same time controversial photos of John Jnr. are gathering momentum on the internet. Whilst his father’s advisors work against the clock on damage limitation, it’s up to father and son to try and reach an agreement.”

The play also stars Domnhall Gleeson and Adam James. It will run from September 3 – October 18 at the Royal Court Theatre. You can book your tickets now.

Eddie is featured in this month’s Interview Magazine in an article in which he answers some very funny and interesting questions from Christopher Bailey (the creative director of the new Burberry campaign in which Eddie stars).

CHRISTOPHER BAILEY: Are you in London?

EDDIE REDMAYNE: I’m in London. I just got back this morning from a holiday with my family in South Africa. We had the most amazing time. We hadn’t been on a family holiday in probably 12 years.

CB: Oh, my goodness!

ER: And I’ve got two brothers–one elder and one younger–and literally since my little bro was probably about 8, we haven’t been away together. Anyway, I’m in London for only about a week and a half, because I’m going to Sundance, where a couple of films I did last year are sort of premiering.

CB: Which ones? Savage Grace and The Other Boleyn Girl?

ER: Savage Grace and one called Yellow Handkerchief, in which I play an adopted Native American, of all things. I think it’s going to be fun because apparently you get to ski as well.
