Eddie Redmayne is Stephen Hawking In First Trailer For THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING

“He made Einstein beautiful.” – HAWKING (2004)

Focus Features has released the brand new trailer for THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING.

Audiences and critics will get a first look at the film when it premieres at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 7th.

Starring Eddie Redmayne (“Les Misérables”) and Felicity Jones (“The Amazing Spider-Man 2”), this is the extraordinary story of one of the world’s greatest living minds, the renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, who falls deeply in love with fellow Cambridge student Jane Wilde.

Once a healthy, active young man, Hawking received an earth-shattering diagnosis at 21 years of age. With Jane fighting tirelessly by his side, Stephen embarks on his most ambitious scientific work, studying the very thing he now has precious little of – time.

Together, they defy impossible odds, breaking new ground in medicine and science, and achieving more than they could ever have dreamed.

The film is based on the memoir Travelling to Infinity: My Life with Stephen, by Jane Hawking, and is directed by Academy Award winner James Marsh (“Man on Wire”).

THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING opens in select cities on November 7.

“We are all different – but we share the same human spirit. Perhaps it’s human nature that we adapt – and survive.” – Stephen Hawking
