    BEIJING Feb. 6 -- Jude Law's latest film "Rage" is in post-production and will hit theaters later this year, foreign media reports.

    The edgy murder mystery also stars Dame Judi Dench and Lily Cole and is set in the fashion houses of New York.

    Directed by Sally Potter, the movie has the 36 year old actor cast as a transvestite supermodel named Minx.

    Part of the subject matter of "Rage" is the ugly use of beauty in the pursuit of profit.

    "Drugged by Marketing, sapped by fear of aging, conned by the cult of celebrity… image becomes all. Jude Law, whose beauty has sometimes been held against him as an actor, made the courageous decision to accept the role of Minx. A 'female' beauty which gradually unravels as the story unfolds. Strangely, the more he became a "she," coiffed and made-up - the more naked was his performance," said the director Sally Potter.

    "Rage" is a tragicomedy seen through the eyes of a boy who becomes a player in a high fashion murder investigation when interviews for his website start to spiral into catastrophe.
