Hooper is attached to direct Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl, an adaptation of novel by David Ebershoff. It tells the true story of artist Einar Wegener who was one of the first people ever to have gender reassignment surgery.
That a story that screams award potential. It could be the beginning of a star-making performance for Redmayne, as he’d play Wegener. Another good sign is the book was adapted by Lucinda Coxon, one of the writers on Guillermo del Toro’s Crimson Peak. Just another interesting twist on the production which is being produced by Working Title.
Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In) was previously attached with Nicole Kidman to star, but they’ve both since moved on.
What do you think about a Hooper and Redmayne The Danish Girl movie?
