We've been obsessed with The Danish Girl ever since Eddie Redmayne signed on to play Lili Elbe, one of the first women to undergo sexual reassignment surgery. He's beautiful in the first official picture and stunning on the poster, and now the trailer confirms that this movie is a definite award season contender. Directed by Tom Hooper, who worked with Redmayne on 2012's Les Misérables, The Danish Girl is based on David Ebershoff's 2000 novel about a married couple struggling to come to terms with the husband's realization that she identifies as a woman. Alicia Vikander, Ben Whishaw, Amber Heard, and Matthias Schoenaerts all costar, and it opens in New York and LA on Nov. 27, then in more cities in December.
