Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow are slated to play transexual lovers in the new flick, “The Danish Girl.” Kidman will play Einar Wegener, the post-op transexual, and Gwyneth Paltrow will play Greta, his wife. “The Danish Girl” is a story of Einar’s desire to be a woman and how his painter wife encourages the sex change through a harmless game of dress-up.

more Nicole and Gwyneth after the hop…

As told by Variety.com:

“One afternoon in 1920s Copenhagen, Greta, a portrait painter, asked her husband to stand in for an absent female model. Slipping on a dress, stockings and woman’s shoes began a metamorphosis into Lili. When the photos became wildly popular, Greta encouraged her husband to do more, but a harmless game evolved into something deeper that threatens their marriage.”

This is fantastic casting. The only other person we could think of who would be even more man-like in the face and body is Tilda Swinton. Alas, she must’ve been booked.
