It was back in 2009 when I wrote the post that announced that Nicole Kidman was going to play transwoman Lili Elbe in the Danish Girl.
The movie is based on the David Ebershoff novel and at one point had both Gwyneth Paltrow and Charlize Theron slated to play Elbe's wife Gerda Wegener.
The $15 million movie will finally begin shooting in Germany in July with some exterior scenes being shot in Copenhagen.
Rachel Weisz will now step in to play Gerda and Lasse Hallstrom will direct it.
Should be interesting to see this movie when it's finally done and how Nicole Kidman handles this role as one of our pioneering transwomen.
