Eddie Redmayne Joins Spielberg's War Horse
Thu, June 10, 2010 
The Playlist is reporting Steven Spielberg has secured the lead for his latest feature Warhorse. The films is an adaptation of Michael Morpurgo's acclaimed children's novel.
The film follows a young man named Albert and his horse, Joey, and how their bond is broken when Joey is sold to the cavalry and sent to the trenches of World War One. Despite being too young to enlist, Albert heads to France to save his friend. As it might sound, the book's a real tear jerker, and a stage version (which the film will also be based on) has been playing to full houses in London since 2007.
According to their sources Eddie is a lock for the role, and filming is set to start soon. War Horse is set for release on August 10, 2011.
The other bit of casting said to still be under way is who will play Joey the horse, but sources close to TMT tell us that Sarah Jessica Parker is in final negotiations for the role. According to Spielberg He couldn't picture anyone else in the role. My guess is she does this before starting production on her next turd, Sex and the City 3.
