20th: Eddie Redmayne Quote
In an interview with Variety, Eddie Redmayne spoke about having to film water scenes outdoors in the middle of winter due to the pandemic postponing filming for much of 2020:
“I can’t tell you anything other than the fact that I think I’ve got some night shoots in Watford, in Leavesden, that we were meant to shoot in the summer in water. But now obviously because of lockdown, and the film shutdown, they’re being shot in early December. And suddenly you find yourself swimming outdoors in British winter.”
The actual interview date is unknown but this interview will be published in the upcoming edition of Variety.

Do you think this is the set Eddie Redmayne mentioned having to swim in?
