And The Winner of the Lisbeth Salander Sweepstakes Is …
After a seemingly endless search, it looks like actress Rooney Mara has landed the coveted lead role of Lisbeth Salander in “The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo.” She’ll join the previously cast Daniel Craig, who signed on to play journalist Mikael Blomkvist at the end of last month. Robin Wright is also in talks to join the film, as Blomkvist’s lover, Erika Berger. The project will re-team Mara with director David Fincher, with whom she worked on “The Social Network,” about the rise of the popular social media network site Facebook. That film arrives in theaters on Oct. 1.
