I’ve found this piece of news on MTV.Com. It looks like the film in which Eddie stars alongside Kristen Stewart, “The Yellow Handkerchief”, has premiered this week in LA.

Another sweet film is the road-trip romance flick “The Yellow Handkerchief,” which impressed crowds at Sundance last January and features Stewart in a touching role that should appeal to her new “Twilight” fans. Co-starring William Hurt and Maria Bello, the film premieres in Los Angeles this week and will open for a small Oscar-qualifying run in December.

Let’s hope it gets an international release.

Whatsonstage.com recently released a trailer for Eddie’s new play Now or Later premiering September 3, opening on the 18 and running until October 18 at The Royal Court Theatre. You can listen to a podcast with Eddie, Christopher Shinn, Dominic Cooke, and Matthew Marsh where they discuss this production.

Also, Radio & Television talks with Eddie about his role in portraying Angel Claire.  Article contains spoilers for Tess of the D’urbervilles.

“What appealed to me about the project was instinct”, says Eddie.

“I had a stronger emotional attachment to this script than anything else I’ve ever read. I started reading the scripts and finished all of them within three hours.

Whatsonstage.com is currently having a special offer to see Eddie’s new play Now or Later on September 24.  A free drink is included and there will be an exclusive post-show Q&A with Eddie, Matthew Marsh, and Dominic Cooke.  Tickets are £25.

Also the BBC’s Tess of the D’urbervilles website has updated with a trailer.

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?

The Telegraph announced that the 4 part mini series will premiere on September 14 on BBC1. Also a new behind the scenes picture had been added to the gallery.
