See Eddie Redmayne in His Next Role as a Transgender Woman

Right after his Oscar win for The Theory of Everything, a picture of Eddie Redmayne in The Danish Girl was released. It was a peek at what Redmayne will look like in his next film as Lili Elbe, the first known transgender woman to successfully undergo sexual reassignment surgery in the early 1900s. Now we have an even better idea of his transformation, thanks to pictures on the set of the film taken in Brussels, Belgium, and Copenhagen, Denmark. He's in good spirits in one set of pictures, but in another, he's being attacked. They're not particularly uplifting pictures, but they are really interesting. The movie won't be out until 2016, but you can brush up on the true story by reading the book!
