EDDIE Redmayne was among a star-studded cast of upcoming film The Aeronauts to grace some familiar Oxford landmarks yesterday.
A-list actors including Mr Redmayne, Felicity Jones and Rebecca Front star in the adventure epic, which is due to be released in November.
Crews were shooting scenes in the Sheldonian Theatre, while Mr Redmayne was believed to be filming in nearby Convocation House and Divinity School.
One eyewitness snapped the Fantastic Beasts actor and co-star Tim McInnerny, who played Captain Darling in Blackadder.
Fun to see filming of The Aeronauts going on in Oxford today. If you look closely you can see Eddie Redmayne and Tim McInnerny. The top hats are a good look. Nicely anachronistic mobile phone too. pic.twitter.com/AuE4Svu5Up

The film is based on the true story of pilot Amelia Wren and scientist James Glaisher, who attempted to make discoveries in a hot air balloon in 1862.
Scenes have previously been shot in several locations around London.
