Redmayne shines in Everything

MANILA, Philippines - He already won Best Actor prizes in the recent British Academy, Screen Actors Guild and Golden Globe awards. That’s why Eddie Redmayne easily won a Best Actor Oscar for his riveting performance as astrophysicist Stephen Hawking in Universal Pictures’ inspiring biopic The Theory of Everything.

Now showing exclusively at Ayala Malls Cinemas nationwide, The Theory of Everything was also nominated five for Best Picture, Best Actress (Felicity Jones) and Best Adapted Screenplay.

In the film, once a healthy, active young man, Hawking received an earth-shattering diagnosis at 21. With Jane (Jones) 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.

Producer Lisa Bruce notes on their leading man, “Eddie had a relentless intensity from day one. It was truly amazing to watch his evolution as he captured the many layers of both the Stephen we think we know as well as the man behind the image.”

Redmayne says, “When I read the script, I was astonished at what this man has experienced and done since 1963. It was one of the most inspiring things I’d ever read. Stephen Hawking is an icon of hope.”

The Theory of Everything is distributed by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
