On the first day of shooting, she and costar Eddie Redmayne were brought up 3,000 feet in a gas balloon to shoot a scene. Felicity Jones and Eddie Redmayne reteamed for the first time since the acclaimed 2014 movie, "The Theory of Everything," to play balloon pilot Amelia Wren and weather scientist James Glaisher, who travel close to 40,000 feet in the air and must toil through harsh weather and debilitating high altitude through their 90-minute trip.

In fact, the first day of shooting, director Tom Harper had Jones and Redmayne as high as 3,000 feet to do a shot in which Jones' Wren character sits atop a hoop hanging above the basket. There were no stunt doubles. That was really the two actors.
