Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has just wrapped filming on director Jon Favreau's second installment of Iron Man, in which she plays Tony Stark's top assistant and love interest Pepper Potts. Now she's preparing to star opposite Nicole Kidman in Tomas Alfredson's follow-up to Let the Right One In,
The Danish Girl.
An adaptation of the David Ebershoff book of the same name, The Danish Girl is based on the true story of the relationship between the world's first post-operative transsexual, Einar Wegener, and his artist wife, Greta. When Greta asked her husband to stand in for one of her models one day, the experience led the two of them down the road to transformation that changed both of their lives forever.
The script is by Lucinda Coxon and producers include Gail Mutrux, Anne Harrison, Linda Reisman, Per Saari and Kidman, who replaced Charlize Theron in the title role.
