Nicole Kidman's Transgender Film Shelved
By Diane Anderson-Minshall
http://www.advocate.com/Arts_and_Entertainment/Film/Nicole_Kidmans_Transgender_Film_Shelved/Nicole Kidman's movie about the Lili Elbe, who reportedly underwent the world's first sex change operation, has been shelved. The Danish Girl was supposed to be a $10 million biopic based on the bestselling book about artist Lili Elbe, who was born a man (known as Einar Wegener). The film, according to the Daily Mail, should have started shooting in Germany this month with Kidman playing the lead role. Her production company, Blossom Films, was behind the project.
Fundraising difficulties and several cast and crew withdrawals have dogged the film recently, pushing Kidman to halt production indefinitely.
