Eddie Redmayne Just Bagged His Cutest Role Yet!

Eddie Redmayne has just bagged his sweetest movie role yet: voicing a new tank engine in the latest Thomas & Friends feature film.

 The Oscar-winning actor will play Ryan in Sodor’s Legend of the Lost Treasure, a 60-minute movie, which also stars Harry Potter’s John Hurt and Jamie Campbell Bower.

“I grew up loving to watch Thomas and his pals getting caught up in unexpected and mischievous adventures,” says Eddie. “I jumped at the opportunity to get involved and what fun it was! I have never voiced an animated character before, and I had a complete blast.”

The film, which celebrates 70 years of Thomas & Friends, will roll out globally through 2015.
