Producer Todd Leiberman explained how the production is looking to be as authentic as possible:
“A top priority for us on The Aeronauts is authenticity. With that in mind, we intend to do as much balloon filming in the sky as the weather will allow. This image was taken after we launched Felicity and Eddie 2,000 feet in the air, performing their scripted scene, while a helicopter captured it all. We’re fortunate that Felicity and Eddie have the nerve to do these stunts themselves as it authenticates our entire approach.”
I’m not an Eddie Redmayne fan, but credit where it’s due – it’s pretty cool to see him and Jones actually floating among the clouds for real. Tom Cruise’s Ethan Hunt would be proud. He’d also probably somehow find a way to hang underneath the basket or bounce up and down on top of the balloon itself, but that’s neither here nor there. No word yet on a release date for The Aeronauts, but stay tuned for the film’s first trailer.

Here’s the official synopsis:
Set in 1862, THE AERONAUTS follow wealthy young widow Amelia Wren (Felicity Jones) and ambitious scientist James Glaisher (Eddie Redmayne) as they mount a balloon expedition to fly higher than anyone in history. This is a journey to the very edge of existence, where the air is thin and the chances of survival are slim. As their perilous ascent reveals their true selves, this unlikely pair discover things about each other – and themselves – that help them find their place in the world they have left behind.
