Redmayne portrays Danish artist Einar Wegener, later known as Lili Elbe — one of the first people to undergo a sex-change operation — in "The Danish Girl."

The film, based on David Ebershoff's novel of the same name, reteams Redmayne with his "Les Miserables" director, Tom Hooper.

Alicia Vikander plays Wegener's wife, Greta, who painted him in drag and later helped him during his transition.

Eddie Redmayne is known for his performance as Stephen Hawking in "The Theory of Everything", for which he won the Academy Award for Best Actor, the Golden Globe Award and the BAFTA Award.

"The Danish Girl" will debut at the Venice Film Festival this week and hit theaters on Nov. 27.
