The man whose great masterpiece is about to be ruined by Cloverfield director Matt Reeves, Swedish filmmaker Tomas Alfredson is set to direct THE DANISH GIRL, according to Variety. 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 (Theron) 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 and landmark 1931 operation that shocked the world and threatened their love.
Nicole Kidman is still set to play Einar but there’s a slight change in the casting, Charlize Theron who was supposed to play the wife Gerda is no longer attached. Anand Tucker (Shopgirl) was previously attached to be the helmer but obviously that’s not the case anymore.
We won’t get to see Theron and Kidman make out anymore but with Alfredson directing, this has officially turned awesome. If you haven’t seen Let The Right One In, check it out as soon as you can.. before the U.S. version comes by and messes things up for all of us.
