Rooney Mara has been cast in the Hollywood remake of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. The 24-year-old actress beat A-list stars including Scarlett Johansson, Kristen Stewart, Emma Watson and Natalie Portman to play tattooed computer hacker Lisbeth Salander in the much-anticipated remake of the 2009 Swedish movie of the same name. Rooney will join Daniel Craig, who will play investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist, and Robin Wright, who has signed on to play Mikael’s colleague and lover Erika Berger. Rooney got her big break in the 2009 horror remake A Nightmare on Elm Street. She also plays the lead in David Fincher’s upcoming drama The Social Network. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is based on late Swedish author Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy of novels. The Hollywood version of the crime thriller will start shooting in Sweden next month and is due for release in December 2011.
