The actress Rooney Mara is on the cover of W Magazine February 2011 ‘The Movie’ issue, photographed as her The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo movie character Lisbeth Salander by Jean-Baptiste Mondino in Stockholm. Mara is wearing a Burberry jacket.
Rooney Mara embraced the complete physical transformation she had to go through for the movie. David Fincher tells W Magazine, “I wanted her from the beginning. Rooney maybe a trust-fund baby from football royalty but she’s level headed and hard working. It’s so odd how who people are comes out in auditions. We didn’t make it easy for Rooney and there was no way to dissuade her.”
W Magazine scored the exclusive first look at actress Rooney Mara as Lisbeth Salander thanks to Stefano Tonchi’s past working relationship with the film producers’ photographer of choice – Jean-Baptiste Mondino. Vanity Fair wanted Annie Leibovitz and so they were out and W Magazine was in.
W Magazine ‘The Movie’ issue hits the newsstands January 25th.
