Working Title

The first image of Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl has hit the web, and we're blown away by his gender-bending transformation!

Redmayne, who just won an Oscar for his role in The Theory of Everything, plays Lili Elbe, an artist who had sexual reassignment surgery in the early 1930s. The film is based on the novel by David Ebershoff, and Tom Hooper, who worked with Redmayne in Les Miserables, will be directing.

Late last year Redmayne chatted with E! News about the project, and he revealed that he had already started doing tons of research. "Even though it is period and under completely different circumstances than today, I’m meeting many women from the trans community and hearing their experiences," he said.

Can't wait to see the first trailer for this! The Danish Girl is slated for release in 2016.
