I already covered the photos of Daniel Craig in Paris last night, for the premiere of The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. This post is just about Rooney Mara. First, let’s talk about the fashion. Rooney Mara’s premiere look was Louis Vuitton, and it’s maybe my favorite thing she’s worn this whole publicity tour. It’s cute, it’s flirty, it’s age-appropriate, and it’s still got some glamour-goth vibes. I’ve grown to really dislike this girl, but I have to give her credit on this one – she got it right for this carpet. Very cute. I get the feeling that Rooney wants very badly to be a “fashion girl” but she doesn’t know how to reconcile her Fashion Girl yearnings with her new, adopted Lisbeth Salander persona. What Would Lisbeth Do? Lisbeth would not wear Louis Vuitton. But I like that Rooney tried it.
And yes, that’s David Fincher on her other side. Do you think they’re doing it? I have my doubts. I think she sees him as her God and Creator. You don’t want to bone your God. That being said, if you told me that Fincher and Mara were boning, I wouldn’t be surprised. I just think that whatever is going on, he’s in total control. And that’s kind of creepy.
As for Rooney and her future in Hollywood… I don’t know. As much as I want to reiterate that this girl needs to be told some hard truths about professionalism and not taking a dump on her early career moves, I can’t say definitively that Rooney’s comments have gotten wide enough coverage to really affect her career in the long-term. Although GWTDT hasn’t performed as well as expected (I liked the film in general, but I thought it was poorly edited, amongst other complaints), The Wrap confirms that the two sequels are already being prepared.
The Wrap spoke to an unnamed Sony rep who said that Steve Zaillian is on to adapt to The Girl Who Played With Fire, and that Daniel Craig and Rooney are contractually obliged for two more films. Although Slash Film raised the red flag about Sony possibly getting another director to helm the sequel, it’s looking like Fincher will likely be back. So… Rooney is guaranteed another job.
