Trailer: Eddie Redmayne Becomes THE DANISH GIRL

Following his Oscar-winning turn as Stephen Hawking in The Theory of Everything, actor Eddie Redmayne has his eye on another statue with his newest movie, The Danish Girl. It's directed by The King's Speech and Les Miserables helmer Tom Hooper, and I've included the synopsis below.

The remarkable love story inspired by the lives of Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener (portrayed by Academy Award winner Eddie Redmayne ["The Theory of Everything"] and Alicia Vikander ["Ex Machina"]), directed by Academy Award winner Tom Hooper ("The King's Speech," "Les Misérables"). Lili and Gerda's marriage and work evolve as they navigate Lili's groundbreaking journey as a transgender pioneer.

With Caitlin Jenner's Vanity Fair cover making huge waves earlier this year and igniting a conversation about transgendered people in America, this seems like one of those turning points when the culture at large is making strides toward progress and acceptance. I certainly don't want to minimize the importance of seeing transgendered people on screen, but Redmayne seems to be really embracing the idea of giving huge dramatic performances right now that just so happen to align perfectly with traditional Oscar bait. My issue right now is with him instead of with this movie, so I'll be glad to see him take a breather from these kinds of showy roles with Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them next year.

The Danish Girl opens in limited release on November 27th, and expands to additional cities in December. Watch the trailer and let us know what you think:
