Redmayne To Star In Sex-Change Drama
Eddie Redmayne (pictured), who gave my favorite performance in the “Les Miz” movie, will reunite with that movie’s director, Tom “The King’s Speech” Hooper, to star in “The Danish Girl.” Lucinda Coxon wrote the screenplay. Based on a David Ebershoff’s novel of the same name, the movie will be a fictionalized account of the life of Danish painters Einar Wegener and his wife Gerda. In 1930, Wegener underwent the surgery and became Lili Elbe. Redmayne will make a fetching woman.
