Actress Rooney Mara, who plays Lisbeth Salander in David Fincher's new thriller "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and put forward for this role the award "Golden Globe" in an interview with PARADE told of her character and attitude to it.
About her heroine
"I spent a year with my heroine, and there are so many things I love about her. I think she is compelling, therefore, you immediately fall in love with her, although sometimes you do not agree with what she was doing, you are surprised and upset by her behavior. She is - incredible "layered" character”.
About the samples
"The director asked the casting actresses to read the poem with a Swedish accent, a poem, in their opinion, convey the inner essence of Lisbeth. A few days before the trial, she called and said she wanted me to play few scenes from the movie. Originally they had not seen me in this role, their faces said, "We will not take you. You're not the girl we need". And suddenly they changed their minds: "You will first who will try to play excerpts from the script. "
About confidence that she can play hacker covered with tattoos and piercings
"In my opinion, the samples were successful, and then a few days later I was called by a casting director and said that David Fincher liked my work. We have worked with him for a few days, when I appeared in" Social Network ", and he wanted to explain me what I’ll be involved, if my candidacy is approved. He gave me a detailed list of all the things that I have to do. For example, I'll have to smoke all the time, walking naked to ride a motorcycle and the like. From all this I understood that my samples, in fact, succeeded. "
About getting used to the role – piercings and other
"I think in this movie I’m different from myself out of the movie. I do not think most magazines will want to put my picture in the image on its cover Lisbeth. This part of the society or how much has not changed. I think people will go to the movies, drawn my repulsive appearance. Of course, I read the forums on the network, as people were asking each other: "Why are they made of her a monster?" But I'm sure the same people, coming out of the theater after the movie, will be considered beautiful Lisbeth . And I think it happens in real life - the closer you get to know someone, the more beautiful it becomes for you. I think, Lisbet - one whom you love and who will admire. Appearance in this case - the case of secondary. "
About Daniel Craig
"He's such a talented actor, and I just can not imagine anyone else in this role. You know, when you can not imagine another actor in a role, then, indeed, it had turned out. Daniel was incredibly patient and kind to me. And he's an actor, ready to share his gift. "
About nude shooting
"You cannot prepare yourself for it. I've been involved in kickboxing - it gave me confidence when it is time to undress. My character is incredibly harmonious in her sexual behavior, and I had to show the same thing, acting in the film. I was less vulnerable to other films, but it felt more insecure than in this picture. I think it is a merit of David and the people whom he surrounded himself. I always felt safe under protection and care. "
