Four new posters for Eddie Redmayne's upcoming drama,
The Danish Girl, were released online as part of a press kit.
Those promos, featuring costar and on-screen wife Alicia Vikander, can be seen below.
The Danish Girl, starring the lead of
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, will have its world premiere at the Venice Film Festival in early September, followed by its North American premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival
A synopsis of the film can be read here.
Quote:
In early 1920s Copenhagen, the illustrator and artist Gerda Wegener (Alicia Vikander) asks her husband, Einar Wegener (Eddie Redmayne) to stand in for a female model. The popularity of the portraits leads to Gerda painting her husband in further pictures as a woman. Einar develops an attraction for a female physical appearance and begins living as a woman named Lili Elbe.
Ultimately Elbe becomes the first ever recipient of male to female sex reassignment surgery, and Gerda supports her decision, although their marriage becomes strained when Gerda comes to the realization that Lili is no longer the person she married. A childhood friend of Einar, Hans Axgil (Matthias Schoenaerts), shows up and forms a complex love triangle with the couple.
The Danish Girl will be Redmayne's first film release since winning an Academy Award for
The Theory of Everything, and also the only movie he made before starting
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them as Newt Scamander.
The Danish Girl hits theaters this November.
