Watch the trailer for the new Stephen Hawking biopic, The Theory of Everything, starring Eddie Redmayne and Felicity Jones.
Biopics about extraordinary figures throughout history are a staple of any fall movie season. Yet, rarely has there been a recent figure of a more harrowing narrative than Stephen Hawking, the man who accelerated the thought of the universe’s origins and black holes around the same time he lost motor functions due to ALS.
But The Theory of Everything is about more than that: it’s about how Hawking, played by Eddie Redmayne, also met his future wife Jane Hawking (Felicity Jones) before his greatest triumphs and greatest losses. Surely award season bait, the film’s trailer is still so strong that it can overcome the fact that the real-life Hawking eventually distanced himself from the idea of an actual “Theory of Everything.” The Theory of Everything the movie is directed by James Marsh from a screenplay by Anthony McCanten.
Set to premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival, The Theory of Everything releases in the U.S. on November 7, 2014.
