She's in talks for Tom Hooper's latest
Tom Hooper followed up The King’s Speech with 2012’s Les Miserables, but since then he’s been trying to find his next project. He’s been busy developing The Danish Girl, and has Amber Heard in talks for a role.
The Danish Girl finds Hooper teaming back up with Les Mis’ Eddie Redmayne for a film inspired by a true story. Based on a 2000 book by David Ebershoff, it’ll chronicle Danish painter Einar Wegener's life as he became the first man to undergo a sex change operation in the early 1930s, becoming Lili Elbe. Alicia Vikander is already attached to co-star as Wegener’s wife, Gerda, while Heard is circling the role of Oola.
Currently scripted by Lucinda Coxon, this one has been developing for a few years, with Nicole Kidman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron and director Thomas Alfredson all attached at various points.
As for Heard, she’s worked on London Fields and The Adderall Diaries and has a role in Magic Mike XXL.
