As for Mara, she will be featured in David Fincher's The Social Network, which is probably why she ended up getting the part. You have to remember that for 99% of the populace, Rooney Mara is an unknown. <br /><br />As for her talents, I've only seen her in Elm Street, although by coincidence the Dare blu ray arrived in the mail on Saturday (it's a drama with Emmy Rossum, Alan Cumming, and Mara). We'll definitely make a point to watch it tonight. As for Elm Street, not even Kyle Gallner survived that debacle.Scott Mendelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08131426080984100749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6937848248469121586.post-35752660019515154052010-08-16T13:19:30.359-07:002010-08-16T13:19:30.359-07:00Boo!
No one they were going to cast was going to ...Boo!<br /><br />No one they were going to cast was going to live up to the original girls' flawless book-to-screen performance of the Swedish films.<br /><br />I've only seen Mara in Elm St, and my was she ever dull and boring. Hope she proves me wrong.<br /><br />I think this is a bad choice, and an unknown should have been cast.<br /><br />-BrandonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
