So, I think we can all agree that this trailer is pretty impressive. The obligatory asterisk to this statement being, of course, that it would have been better to have a trans actor in the role. But instead now trans roles are what gay roles were for straight actors not that long ago – guaranteed Oscar bait. I know, Le Sigh. With all that said, this film still looks quite good. And Eddie Redmayne looks quite amazing in these clips. In fact the whole thing looks quite intriguing. Granted, I still would have liked to see this movie with its first rumored cast – Nicole Kidman as Lili and Charlize Theron as her wife Gerda.
Also, I sincerely hope the movie delves some into Gerda’s life, too, because have you seen her naughty illustrations? (More at the previous link but, hello, NSFW.)
You are SO RIGHT about the trans roles being what gay roles used to be... And those illustrations, oh my
