BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. - How do you avoid charges of sensationalism if you set out to make a movie about the world's first sex-change operation?

The simple answer is that you aim high. You set out to deliver a serious story and a quality product free of lurid tabloid exploitation.

It also helps to attach some big-name talent to the enterprise. People like Oscar-winning actresses Nicole Kidman and Gwyneth Paltrow and director Lasse Hallstrom.
