"Eddie Redmayne has landed the lead role in Steven Spielberg&amp;#039;s War Horse, according to The Playlist. Citing inside sources, the website has claimed that the Brit actor is &amp;quot;locked&amp;quot; for the role of Albert in Spielberg&amp;#039;s adaptation of Michael Morpurgo&amp;#039;s novel.  The story centres on Albert&amp;#039;s quest to reunite with his horse Joey after the animal is sold to the cavalry at the outbreak of World War I. Redmayne&amp;#039;s acting credits include Black Death, which is in UK cinemas from tomorrow, Glorious 39 and the TV adaptation of Tess Of The D&amp;#039;Urbervilles with Gemma Arterton. Speaking to DS about War Horse last week, screenwriter Richard Curtis said: &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m having a lot of fun with [it] and Steven Spielberg is absolutely brilliant. What&amp;#039;s happening now is he&amp;#039;s taking my script and then saying, &amp;#039;Oh no, we don&amp;#039;t need those two pages of boring dialogue because I can do this one brilliant visual thing that does everything&amp;#039;. That&amp;#039;s very exciting to watch.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
