Gwyneth Paltrow Is Kidman’s DANISH GIRL

THE DANISH GIRL was supposed to be for Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron but Theron exited the project. She left THE TOURIST and she also left this, something’s up with that Theron. No worries though, another hottie has come to the rescue, according to Variety, Gwyneth Paltrow has signed on to co-star in this dram that will be directed by Tomas Alfredson (Let The Right One In)…

Adapted by writer Lucinda Coxon (Wild Target) from David Ebershoff’s 2000 Viking bestseller. Based on the true story of Danish artists Einar and Gerda Wegener. Their marriage took a sharp left turn after Einar (Kidman) stood in for an female model that Gerda (Paltrow) was set to paint.
When their portraits become wildly popular in 1920s Copenhagen, Gerda encouraged her husband to adopt the female guise. What began as a harmless game led Einer to a metamorphosis into Lili Elbe and landmark 1931 operation that shocked the world and threatened their love.
Greta finally let go when she realized the man she married no longer exists.

There’s no word if they’re going to cast a male actor to play Einar when she was a he. Which means we’re going to see some serious acting by Nicole Kidman since The Hours.
