The ensemble cast is incredible, featuring old favourites and newcomers alike in the form of Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Tilda Swinton, Frances McDormand, Willem Dafoe, Saoirse Ronan, Adrien Brody, Jason Schwartzman, Ed Norton, Benicio Del Toro, Jeffrey Wright, Léa Seydoux, Elizabeth Moss, Timothée Chalamet, and more.

Amazon Studios’ new feature film, The Aeronauts, hits UK cinemas today, with the post-production for the film having been completed at Gravity Media’s Frith Street cutting rooms.
Set in 1862, the film is (loosely) based on the story of a gas balloon adventure in which scientist James Glaisher (played by Eddie Redmayne) and pilot Henry Coxwell took to the skies to further knowledge of meteorology – and in doing so, set the record for the highest flight in history.
In the film, Coxwell’s role is fulfilled by Felicity Jones, whose character is a fictional daredevil balloon pilot, Amelia Wren. While breaking records and advancing scientific discovery, the pair face physical and emotional challenges in the rarefied air, as the ascent becomes a fight for survival. Expect thrilling visuals and substantial on-screen chemistry between the two leads.
