The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

Rooney Mara, whom we’ll first see in The Social Network alongside Justin Timberlake, will play the title role in the much-anticipated film adaptation of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. There were reports that she beat out Natalie Portman, Ellen Page and Carey Mulligan for the role. I just hope that she’s really good. The book is one of the best books I’ve read and I was actually gunning for Emma Watson to play the title role. But let’s see. I’m giving Rooney Mara a chance to prove that she’s the better choice.

The movie is set to be shown on December 21, 2011.
