The Theory of Everything

The Theory of Everything

Everyone who is even slightly interested in the subject of space and the universe in general is familiar with the name of Stephen Hawking. It was 1963, when he was not yet great, but already a scientist, he intended to give answers to the most important mysteries of our existence. In addition, he falls in love with Jane Wilde, who also studied with him at Cambridge. He was smart, but a little weak, he was ready to open up and love, until a terrible diagnosis destroyed his aspirations. Jane persuades him to finally get his doctorate while his body allows him to live life to the fullest. However, disability did not break Hawking's personality, nor his brilliant mind and desire to know everything. Read more As in the case of many biographical films, the tape "Stephen Hawking. The Theory of Everything' was based on a book. The author is his wife, Jane Wilde, who appears in the biopic. The work is called "Journey to Infinity: My Life with Steven". The screenwriter of the film, Anthony McCarthy, read the memoir ten years before the release of the film. Interested in the material, he began working on the text for the film production. He spent a lot of time directly with Jane Hawking herself, discussing certain points in the upcoming film. In 2009, the script was considered by the producers. However, the author of the book herself could not decide to transfer the rights to the film adaptation until 2013. It was April and work on the drama "Stephen Hawking. The theory of everything" spun. One of the first candidates for the role of the scientist was Eddie Redmayne, who, as you can see, ended up getting his role. As a result, the actor spent about six months studying Hawking's life. He watched all the videos he could find with it. And the actress Felicity Jones copied some of the habits of the wife of a scientific genius so well that Jane Hawking was impressed by such a strong attention to detail after watching. Filming of the tape began in September 2013, in Cambridge. St. John's College was used as the setting for the educational institution. When the team tried to use the same speech synthesizer as the real prototype of the hero of the film, nothing worked. The voice was different, and the situation was saved by Stephen himself with his personal device.
