The Hollywood Reporter reports that Nicole Kidman will star and produce "The Danish Girl." The drama will tell the true story of Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener. Einar and Wegener were a married couple and Einar (Kidman) stood in for an female model that Greta (Theron) was set to paint. Their portraits become wildly popular in 1920s Copenhagen, and Greta encouraged her husband to adopt the female guise. What began as a harmless game led Einar to a metamorphosis and landmark 1931 operation that shocked the world and threatened their love.
Anand Tucker ("Shopgirl") is attached to direct the feature, adapted by writer Lucinda Coxon ("Wild Target") from David Ebershoff's 2000 Viking bestseller. His debut novel of the same name is a fictionalized account of the Wegeners' true story.
