“Let the Right One In” helmer Tomas Alfredson will direct Nicole Kidman in true-life sex-change drama “The Danish Girl.”

Script is written by Lucinda Coxon, based on David Ebershoff’s novel about Danish painter Einar Wegener (Kidman), who in 1931 became the first person to go through a sex-change operation to become a woman.

However, Charlize Theron, who had been attached to play Wegener’s wife, Gerda, has left the production.
