Tom Harper has had one hell of a year. The up-and-coming director saw two films released into theaters, although the one featuring two movie stars and millions of dollars in special effects will soon be available to stream at home. But that's modern Hollywood for ya! Harper directed The Aeronauts, a high-flying adventure movie starring Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne, who previously shared the screen in the Stephen Hawkins biopic The Theory of Everything.

Amazon Prime Video releases a new Aeronauts trailer, teasing the biographical drama film that reunites Eddie Redmayne with Felicity Jones.

Amazon has released a new trailer for The Aeronauts. The story follows a pilot (Felicity Jones) and scientist (Eddie Redmayne) in 1862 who embark on a dangerous expedition to go higher than ever in a balloon in order to obtain important weather data. I caught the film at TIFF and found it to be exciting and fun, but also worth catching on the big screen if possible as director Tom Harper really makes great use of the vertigo-inducing scenery. This is a solid trailer that does a fine job of quickly explaining what the movie is about, why these …

I went into The Aeronauts expecting Tom Harper’s movie to either be stunningly great or a total disaster since it’s basically characters trapped on a hot air balloon and two actors playing against a green screen.

It’s a story about two people who need to rely on each other to accomplish a mission and overcome their personal baggage. At times, it plays a little like 1860s Apollo 13, and at other times it’s just a period drama featuring forwarding-thinking individuals. The …

Netflix isn't fooling around.

But their trip wasn’t without its many, many close calls and physical challenges.

The Aeronauts, a film designed for IMAX and filmed partially with IMAX cameras, will no longer be headed to IMAX theaters. Last week, Amazon Studios changed its release plan for the Eddie Redmayne-Felicity Jones-led drama, pushing its theatrical run back from October 25—with one week exclusively in IMAX—to December 6, leaving just two weeks in theaters before it begins streaming on Amazon. When the news broke, Collider's Adam Chitwood questioned what that meant for the film's IMAX chances. According to THR, those chances just fell out of the wicker basket completely. "We don't …

Amazon Studios is pushing back the release of its Eddie Redmayne-Felicity Jones drama The Aeronauts from Oct. 25 to Dec. 6, and cutting the film's theatrical window to just two weeks, as it is now expected to begin streaming on Amazon Prime Video on Dec. 20. Directed by Tom Harper, The Aeronauts is set in 1862 and follows wealthy young widow Amelia Wren (Jones) and headstrong scientist James Glaisher (Redmayne) as they mount a balloon expedition to fly higher than anyone in history. It’s a journey to the edge of a then-known world, where the air …

The upcoming historical drama The Aeronauts, starring Redymane and Jones, will be getting an exclusive IMAX release on October 25th for one week only, a week before the film’s wide theatrical release on November 1st.

Directed by Tom Harper, The Aeronauts tells the true story of a wealthy …
