Came across an item about Nicole Kidman upcoming movie which may be of interest to some of you.

You can bet the I won't miss my two favorite actresses in this one!

Interesting. When is the movie set to come out?

I wonder why a transsexual woman wasn't cast in the role. It wasn't so long ago that some people were complaining that actors/actresses playing movie roles weren't of the race for the character being portrayed. Why then should it be different for transwomen. A transwoman, and not a gg, should play the character of a transwoman.

I would say it comes down to box-office drawing power. You have two of the very top rank of female star actresses here. A lot of silver screen magic there. At least this will help bring the issue before the public and hopefully promote more understanding, and through that; more acceptance. I am just thrilled to see a top rank production concerning this issue. I am not familiar with the director, but I am a longtime fan of both of these ladies and their work and I have every bit of confidence in them,

Yes, that sounds like an interesting project.
The casting of a female is similar to "Transamerica" where a mtf transexual is played by Felicity Huffman.
It begs the question, where/who are some really good transexual actresses/actors?

good actor should know how to play the role.
and after all, it is also brand, well-known name and seeing it on the billboards many people will choose to buy a ticket to the cinema.
