- GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO
Rooney Mara’s take as social hacker Lisbeth Salander in
David Fincher’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is perhaps the most anticipated
performance of the year.

There might be a lot to live up to (fans of the books, fans
of the Swedish adaptations, an astonishing performance from Noomi Rapace), but
all the evidence so far suggests that Mara has created a Lisbeth to be reckoned
with.
Total Film got the chance to talk with the star of the Girl
with the Dragon Tattoo, she evidently shared an affinity with the character
who’s become an instant icon:
“I felt like there
was something at Lisbeth’s core that was at my core too. I could really relate
to that,” she told us, adding, “I’m not really a group or team person.”
That’s not to say she wasn’t aware of the ramifications of
taking on such an iconic character, explaining, “When he [David Fincher]
offered me the part he explained to me that this film had the potential to
change my life, not necessarily for the better.”
Of course, it wasn’t easy: “It was very emotionally draining,
and physically probably even more so,” she says. Then, a half-smile: “I don’t
think you can understand the character unless you’ve been through a winter in
Sweden…”
The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo opens on 26 December 2011.
