Paltrow, replacing the previously-cast Charlize Theron, will play Einar’s wife, Greta, a painter who first asks her husband to don a dress to stand in for one of her models, sending Einar down the path to irreversible change.One thing’s for sure: this is going to be one heck of an interesting relationship, and a real chance for Paltrow and Kidman to get their teeth into two meaty roles.
