Johnny Depp has joined Eddie Redmayne and Alicia Vikander for the screening of "The Danish Girl" at this year's Toronto International Film Festival.

Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Tom Hooker, this British biographical drama film portrays the famous painter Lili Elbe, who is also known as the first recipient of a sex-change operation.

The Oscar-winning actor Eddie Redmayne says, he spent lots of time on research of the character before the cameras rolled, during an interview at the screening.

"I spent a year meeting members of the trans community, different generations of trans women and their generosity and their kindness at explaining their stories, of course there's no one trans story, every single person has a different one but their transparency and kindness in order to educate me and to educate cisgender people was wonderful."

Being the leading role in this controversial film, Redmayne is already getting Oscar buzz for his latest collaboration with director Tom Hooper.

'The Danish Girl' is scheduled to carry out a limited release on November 27th in the US.
