Deadline: Will it be an Eddie Redmayne-Michael Keaton face off during awards season again next year?
The two may very well go head-to-head again next year for films that have the potential to be major players:
“The Danish Girl” and “Spotlight.”
“The Danish Girl” and “Spotlight.”
The filmmakers contacted Stryker for her advice on what type of image would be appropriate for this “first photo from The Danish Girl” release. Correctly anticipating that Redmayne would win the Oscar, they expected the paparazzi to be all over him; they’d be shooting exteriors soon, and, as they told Stryker, “we really want to be in control of Eddie’s image, and we want this to hit the press right.” As Stryker tells is, “They were debating: do we do he’s getting into makeup, a full body shot, something on the set? And I recommended they do a glamorous headshot. ‘Make him look really good. Don’t have it look like a guy in a dress. Make him look like a fine babe.’ Personally, I thought they did a really good job with the hair and makeup and the pose and all of that.” (x) via

KEEP YOUR EYES OPEN: Oscar-winners to film in the streets of Copenhagen (CPH). In late March two Oscar-winners will film the movie The Danish Girl (TDG) in CPH. In late March CPH will host some rather posh visitors. This year's Oscar winner for Best Male, Eddie Redmayne, and the winner for Best Director (2010) Tom Hooper will visit our country's capital to film the movie "TDG".
(Link to other Danish article about Mr M playing the role og transgender legend Einar Wegener - I will have this ready by Sunday for y'all ) The movie TDG is inspired by the true story of Danish Einar Wegener, who in the 1930's was among the first men in the World to undergo a sexchange operation. The leading role as Einar Wegener is played by the British actor Edide Redmayne who recently won an Oscar for his much acclaimed role in "The Theory of Everything" - in movie theatres now. Director of TDG, British Tom Hopper, also has a golden Oscar statue on HIS premises for Best Director of the movie The King's Speech", 2010. The filming which will take place in the city center of CPH for a period of 10 days became a reality, when Copenhagen Film Fund (CPH FF) invested 6 million DKK in the project. It is the first time a major international film will be shot in CPH and CPH FF director Thomas Gammeltoft is indeed a happy man after the deal come through. "TDG is a fantastic project andit is great joy for the Fund that the movie is now being filmed "on location" in the inner city, where Einar Wegener in fact lived himself", says Thomas Gammeltoft and continue: "Ever since CPH FF was founded we have worked intense and hard to get an international filmset to CPH. And since we started the Fund - well actually long before that - TDG has been on our minds. However, it was only possible to get the project to CPH with the foundation of the CPH FF because we now had the means to help finance the project. Other leading roles in TDG besides Eddie Redmayne are the Swedish actress Alicia Vikander, known for her role in "A Royal Affair", Amber Heard, Matthias Schoenaerts and Ben Whishaw. The movie is expected to premiere in 2016....
