Here we have it everyone, a first look at Eddie Redmayne in the official trailer for The Danish Girl.
The movie, which also stars Alicia Vikander, is the love story inspired by the lives of married artists Lili Elbe and Gerda Wegener.
The Oscar winner, who plays Lili Elbe, is the first person in history to have gender reassignment.
The movie will be released on New Year's Day 2016 and is directed by Academy Award winner Tom Hooper (The King's Speech, Les Misérables).

Eddie Redmayne was spotted on the set of his latest film, The Danish Girl, dressed as a woman.
The shot was truthful to the 1930s, when the film is set, and showed Eddie walking among the fishmongers and porters in the capital.
Speaking about his admiration for woman he portrays, Eddie said recently: "The danger of surgery was so extreme [in the 1920s]. It's such a brave thing that Einar did."
More photos of Eddie Redmayne's role as a transgender woman in The Danish Girl have been released. The much-anticipated film sees the Oscar winner take on the role of Lili Elbe, formerly Einar Wegener, who was the first known person to have gender reassignment in the 1930s.
In the on-set pics, Eddie is seen donning a pink cravate and handkerchief with a cream period suit and heeled shoes.
Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron and Nicole Kidman had all been attached to the role before Eddie bagged it. In preparation for the part, the actor seems to have lost weight and looked noticebly slimer.
"I was actually offered The Danish Girl before Hawking… People go, "Oh are you doing this transformative thing?" It's not a concerted choice. I think it will be a unique experience," Eddie told GQ Style of the movie.

Fresh from winning a Best Actor Oscar for playing Stephen Hawking, Eddie Redmayne has taken on a very different role.
The actor stars as transgender artist Einar Wegener in The Danish Girl, which sees him wear make-up and don a pair of stilettos. The flick is set in the 1920s and follows Einar and his wife as they struggle against prejudice.
The actor is directed by Tom Hooper and stars alongside Amber Heard and Alicia Vikander. Eddie talked to members of the transgender community before taking on the role. "We're looking at everything from a feminine perspective. How to sit, to walk, to pose, roll on a pair of stockings," he said. "How to put on a pair of heels and how to walk in them. Everything."
"The danger of surgery was so extreme [in the 1920s]. It's such a brave thing that Einar did."
The Danish Girl is set to be released next year.
