Gwyneth Paltrow joins Nicole Kidman in "The Danish Girl"

But this suddenly lost the hawtness that Charlize would of brought with Nicole. Naomi Watts would of been better. Paltrow is so...bland.

I can't wait to see this as I am a portrait artist :)  Needless to say these two will be great, albeit hard to get used to at first...

It's so hard to find lesbian subjects to paint in my area!

Knowledge is Power.  Believe in yourself.

i wish Charlize was able to this. Well Gwyneth is not a bad choice.

yeLyah!

I love Gwyneth, Shakespeare in Love is one of my favorite movies, so I think this is a great casting choice. I can't wait for this to come out! 

I wanted Charlize or Uma, but here's hoping Gwyneth surprises me.

I adored Let the Right One In - helluva lot better than Twilight - so I think the odds are good. I'm looking forward to this one. May the Ice Queen transform...

thats soo cool :) cannot wait to see it :) altho, i do hope that they'll color atleast one of their hair brown... not all scandinavians are blond. infact, more then half of all danes are not blond (me being on of them :D )

i need it- anyone know what it is?

gwyneth paltrow, daw

This would have been MUCH better if Charlize Theron was still on board. But hey ho, still sounds good.

i'm glad it's gwyneth. not only do i love her as an actress, especially in Sliding Doors, i'm also glad this movie got another big name.

Gwyneth Paltrow's best work was as Margot Tenenbaum, where she played a bland character, which is exactly what she appears to be.

As for Nicole, I used to think she could transform herself into any character, but I was wrong. I could not buy her as the poor not at all glamorous maid in The Human Stain. 

But I'll certainly watch this movie, no matter who's in it.

I can't wait for this film, was disappointed when I heard Charlize dropped out but I'm a big Gwyneth fan so this all worked out fine :D

Not gonna' lie, I'm just excited for Nicole Kidman.  This looks like it will be a really good movie.

Meh.

Some people were really wanting Naomi Watts to play opposite her BFF Kidman.  Although Naomi is one of my absolute faves, I think I would have been weirded out having them play husband wife/wife/wife knowing how close they are IRL. But, Gwen's definitely got the acting chops and the Scandinavian look.  I think she'll do just fine.

 

 

 

*I need buddies!*

Thomas Alfredson's "Let the Right One In" is a wonderful film, perfect cast, great cinematography, super script. Highly recommend everyone see it - the original book is great, too.  I hope this one is as good, and it's going to be interesting to see Kidman play a man. If she can pull it off properly (no pun intended! ) it has "Oscar" written all over it.

Curious about how the studio will market this one - Danish director plus Danish story - about the first MTF? Might be a tough sell to mass marketed to death Americans.

I'm pretty excited about this. I love Nicole Kidman, I thought she was fantastic in so many diverse roles. As for Gwyneth Paltrow I liked her in Sliding Doors, but I don't think I've seen her in anything else (?). I agree with a lot of the other comments, I would have much rather have had Charlize Theron, but Nicole Kidman is awsome enough for the both of them!! I hope this will come out near me....although I doubt it....Can't wait to hear more about this.

Has anyone read the book that the movie is based on?

When I originally heard about this movie, and the concept of the wife standing by her husband's transformation, I believed that meant they stayed a couple.

Although I have not read the book, which may differ from the movie version, I have since heard people say that while the wife is supportive, that theirs does not become a "lesbian" relationship and both move on with men, at least sexually. They might still be emotionally involved.

I still find the idea of the film intriguing and the casting good. And to be honest, as a lesbian, if my partner decided she wanted to become a man I don't know how I wold respond to that, if I could transition to that. My point is I'm not dumping on the film if they don't get together post-transition, but at the same time I was disappointed when I read that this may be the case. But I understand the difficulty involved.

I never thought much of her until I saw Proof, opposite Anthoy Hopkins.  She was very convincing as a mathie grad student that's on the verge of a mental breakdown.  Fearing she might be suffering from the same mental illness that took her father's life, she started to struggle emotionally and occasionally became delusional.  Gwyneth did a great job in conveying the pain and complex emotions; she really allowed the audience to emphathize with her character.  I think Proof is one of her best films that gave her professional validation.
