Blake Lively replaced by Rooney Mara in new Soderberg film
Quote:
Rooney Mara to the rescue! Steven Soderbergh now has the girl formerly known as "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" (formerly known as the girl from "The Social Network") set to star in "Side Effects." Mara is replacing Blake Lively for the lead, and will be joined by Channing Tatum, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jude Law. Financier Annapurna Pictures wasn't happy with Lively in the lead role; they dropped out. Could Mara's casting bring them back? Scott Z. Burns wrote the script, and will produce along with Greg Jacobs and Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Open Road is set to distribute the film.
Mara will play a woman addicted to prescription drugs to cope with the anxiety and depression caused by her husband's (Tatum) impending release from prison. It's wise of Mara to choose a role like this one. There's plenty of ingenues but very few young actresses that can deliver the edge. Here's more on her potential "Dragon Tattoo" follow-ups.
I first read "Mara will be replaced by Lively".... Holy ****, I thought they would replace Mara in Millennium series. Thank god it is the other way around.
Shes a **** actress though.
Have you seen how she acted in 'The Fighter'?
Mara sounds like a better fit for this role anyways, it sounds like a toned down version of her GWTDT role.

Blake Lively wasn't in The Fighter.
I think she's a mediocre actress though. Not a fan of Soderbergh but Mara's a great actress.
