Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron paint a transsexual lesbian love story

This is indeed a piece of good news! With such talented actresses, I am sure they are going to do justice to the story. I am soooo looking forward to this!

Am I dreaming?

If this ever reaches theatres near me, I'm going to be the first in line to get a ticket. Wow! What a start to this week. Finally some good news!

Mindblowing. YAY!

i absolutely adore these two women, they are talented and incredibly beautiful! i really can't wait to go see this movie, it must be really good! and i really do agree with you, this is the first good news we've had in the past week and a half, so i'm happy, it is a start after all!

alice, xxx

I would already be at the ticket counter if I could!

This is brilliant news, I was thrilled to read it early this morning. I love both these actresses as well, and relish the career choices they've made. And this film only confirms it.

Thanks for the report!

I think the only thing that I would think that this make even better if they had at mtF play Lili. But this is hollywood, So it is a step in the right direction.

Voulez-vous travailler avec moi ce soir?

I am so there!!  Front of the line opening night!  Wow!  This is amazing news.  Yes casting a MtF would be the ideal, but at least these movies are out there being made, and two high calibre actresses like this will get it noticed and get it out there for people other than the LGBT community to see and learn from.

....that there's more to Charlize Theron than her amazing acting talent and beautiful looks. She's a brilliant, kind, compassionate, open-minded woman as well.

Her and her equally awesome and beautiful "husband", Stuart Townsend, have refused to be formally/traditionally/legally married until gays and lesbians can have their marriages recognized. They say that they never had a ceremony, but they consider each other husband and wife in a bonded-forever-and-ever sense.  Both of them are firm, passionate supporters of LGBT rights....they're just amazing.  

And if you want to see something funny, I highly recommend you watch Stu Townsend as the pansexual pastry chef on Will & Grace...it's absolutely hilarious!

 

"You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have sharks with frickin' laser beams attached to their heads!"

Being a trans girl (mtf) and being into women, and seeing this kind of relationship on screen, with two amazingly talented and beautiful actresses makes me reaaally happy. Can't wait to see it...

Maybe the Dingo ate your baby!

I think this is fantastic news! I'm sure both of these actresses will do their roles justice (since, of course, they've both proven that they're wonderful at what they do). Yay!

Wow, the first good gay news I've heard in while! I must say that I've never been a big fan of either one of them, but I suddenly gained much more respect voor them, wonder why that is...:p Anyway, I'll deffinitely watch this! It's amazing that two of the most prolific and famous stars are doing this, just amazing... can't wait!

This movie is going to be amazing, well hopefully it will. I shouldn't think that Nicole and Charlize will disappoint, it's not in their nature. Thank you for bringing me such great news, I can't wait!

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome, absolutely!.

I'm excited for this and I'd like to read the novel that this movie is based on, as well. They're both talented and beautiful.

i am sooooooo excited.

love them both

Bring on the popcorn indeed. Although how many cinemas are going to show this I wonder. Hopefully a fair few seeing as they are high profile actresses, and it does sound like a really good film already, with intriguing roles that I'm so glad that they’re both taking on. Oh I can’t wait to see the two of them *together* now. This has actually made my day, in a silly way. 

 

 

That sounds 'effin awesome. So seeing that. But wait, why is it a fictionalized story?

This looks like teh fabulous! Can't wait to see Theron as Wegener.

Two incredibly talented/gorgeous actresses in a story that promises to be fascinating...I can hardly wait!

Oh...and thank you for the introduction to Gerda's art.
Such luscious erotic images!
(They must have been scandalous during that time period. ) 
*purring happily*
;-)

Bravo!!!  I love a good complex story based on truth that involves the LGBT community and the Art World (and my new obsession with any of the Scandinavian countries since Gro and Katja hit my radar)!!!   

oh boy oh boy!! This is exciting, Im just keeping my fingers crossed that this doesnt end up on a shelf somewhere half finished because there wasnt enough funding or something equally as dismal and stupid.

omgosh, Charlize is a goddess! with Nicole, this is even better! Awesome! Can't wait!

I'm with you all on this one. Mind you, I'd see it even without the high profile stars - it sounds mega interesting!!

I'm gonna see if I can find the book after my exams...

so true...

omg say what? o_O

And the prospect of seeing Nicole and Charlize together as women is the stuff of lesbian dreams are made of.

this is like the dream that i always wanted to dream about in real life but never got the chance...im def. gonna look forward to this ;p omg bring on the drama..

nicole kidman and naomi watts? Oh well, I like charlize too. At least they'll be together onscreen.

Could this possibly end up having the same succes as Brokeback? Heavens I hope so!

And can I just say hurray for Denmark, all the way up to the cancelation of the marrige I was very a proud dane(but then it was the 30's). First MTF, first to free porn, among the first to reconize gay partnerships. Not marrige yet but we'll get there... I'm rambling, sorry...

Anyroad, female version of Brokeback with Theron and Kidman no less, I know I'll be queing at the nearest cinema.

This sounds like a fascinating story, with reliably good performers too. I'm looking forward to it greatly.

It's put me in mind of Jan Morris, the Welsh travel writer and historian. She and her wife have been together nearly sixty years, first as man and wife, then as a divorced female couple and now as spouses once again, having had their civil union earlier this year. I embarrassed myself on the tube by filling up as I read about it in the paper.

Don't mean to be a party pooper but if you read a bit about the background then I think it's going to very difficult to make this into a feel-good movie.
I'm really surprised that they did that kind of surgey so early when at the same time homosexuality was forbidden (not that it's the same thing, but still).
But they sure had a different approach to eugenics and other "experiments" on the human body in those days. Like sterilizing "crazy" people. So mayby it was considered a surgical challenge of some sort.
But the story surely has all the elements of a fantastic movie!  Don't know why but they always seemed to be living REALLY on the edge in the thirties.

These Oscar-winning actresses look stunning. I read here (http://www.projectweightloss.com/index.php) about how Charlize maintains her fabulous figure and why she gave up modeling for acting and ...wow, talk about strenght!

hmmm

Personally I feel that Nicole Kidman is a grossly overrated actress. Being an Australian you just come to hate the phrase "Our Nicole" and the whole hype surrounding her in Australian media. Whilst she does bring with her visibility I am not convinced that she is the greatest actress for the role. However, she does occasionaly deliver a noteworthy performance  here's hoping that this is one of these occasions.

Indeed, great news!  I have a great amount of respect for both of these actors and cannot wait to see the finished product of this story brought to film.

Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron? HELL YES PLEASE!!!

I'm looking forward to this movie. Very interesting story, great great actresses with the opportunity to make a big big thing out of that. I'm having a ticket including tonnes of popcorn as fast as this will be released in theaters.

Cannot wait!!!

im speechless with excitment :)
