Posted on November 9th, 2008 by Hot Momma
Nicole Kidman will play the world’s first post-op transsexual who is married to Charlize Theron in 1920s Copenhagen based on a true story. Nicole will produce and act in “The Danish Girl,” according to Hollywood Reporter, based on the story about two married Danish artists who gained international attention after the man in the relationship to be played by (Nicole) gets the world’s first sex change operation in 1931.
The story begins in the 1920s when Greta Wegener (Charlize) asked her husband Einar to stand in for a woman model she was supposed to paint. The portraits became the rage in Denmark, so Greta asked her husband to keep up the charade. Somehow this leads Einar to deciding that she wants to become a woman, which of course causes serious drama for their marriage.
Anand Tucker, who directed “Shopgirl,” will direct and pre-production has started, but it’s not known when shooting will start.
