Nicole Kidman in role of first transsexual in “The Danish Girl”

Nicole Kidman is preparing to act a new controversial role! She will produce and have the main role in “The Danish Girl”, a movie based on the real story of Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener. Their marriage took a wrong place when Einar (which will be interpreted in the movie by Kidman) replaced a feminine model which his wife had to paint.

After the huge success of operas in Copenhaga of ’20, Greta (which will be bought to life by Charlize Theron) gives reasons for her husband to become a woman. In 1931, we are presented the sex changing operation which shocked everybody and threatened their love, Einar becoming the first transsexual in the entire world.

The movie will be directed by Anad Tucker (“Shopgirl”), and the script will be adapted by Lucinda Coxon, after the novel with same name written by David Ebershoff.
