Hollywood is obviously expecting big things from Rooney Mara, having captured people’s attentions in The Social Network and many expecting her to break into the big time as Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher’s version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
Now she’s found a new role, with The Playlist reporting that she’s set to star in Emanuel and the Truth About Fishes for director Francesca Gregorini, who previously directed her in Tanner Hall. The film is about a young girl obsessed with her new neighbour, who is the spitting image of her deceased mother.
Rachel Weisz was recently rumored to be connected to the project, although reps for the actress recently said that isn’t untrue.
Shooting is set to begin this summer.
