Take A Look At Eddie Redmayne’s Transformation In ‘The Danish Girl’

Universal Pictures has unveiled the first poster for Eddie Redmayne’s highly anticipated THE DANISH GIRL.

Oscar winner Redmayne plays transgender pioneer Einar Wegener – later known as Lili Elbe – in the movie and appears on the poster along with co-star Alicia Vikander. 

The movie, set in the 1920s, is a love story about how Wegener, a painter, was persuaded by his wife Gerda Waud (Vikander) – who was also an artist – to pose for her in women’s clothes after one of her models failed to show. In time, he became Lili and started on the transformation into a woman. 

The poster shows the British actor in character facing the camera with a side profile of Vikander. 

It has been a fantastic twelve months for Redmayne whose stellar performance in THE THEORY OF EVERYTHING, for which he received a Golden Globe, Oscar and a BAFTA for Best Actor in the role of Professor Stephen Hawking. There is already so much attention surrounding THE DANISH GIRL, could it be possible he could repeat the same feat once more? We can’t wait to find out. 

We don;t have too long to wait until we can see Redmayne in action, with the trailer expected to drop next week. 

THE DANISH GIRL is released in UK Cinemas New Year’s Day 2016.
