The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo actress Rooney Mara takes the cover of the new issue of Entertainment Weekly, on stands December 30.

Here’s what the 26-year-old actress shared with the mag:

On watching her sister Kate Mara on American Horror Story: “I think she’s so crazy in it. She scares me every week. For you to be able to be scared by your own sister…I think she’s brilliant in the show. She’s f—ing scary. She’s really good at playing a crazy person. I had no idea.” (Rooney and Kate moved to L.A. and moved in together.)

On having a comfortable childhood but being drawn to darker roles: “You can’t assume that because someone has grown up comfortably they don’t have darkness inside of them. I’ve always sort of been that way since I was little. I don’t know where it came from. And certainly I had a very comfortable life, but it was also very normal. I didn’t grow up in this dynasty that people kind of think that I did. We went to T.J. Maxx. I never had to want for anything, but I was not a spoiled child by any means. I was always taught that I had to work hard at what I wanted in life.”

She’s pierced, tattooed, socially awkward, and seethingly angry — and yet somehow we can’t seem to get her out of our minds.

In this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, writer Mark Harris explores what makes the character of Lisbeth Salander one of the most interesting of our time. Of course, the edgy heroine from Stieg Larsson’s novels is already known around the world — tens of millions have read the Millenium Trilogy, and Noomi Rapace depicted the dark female in the Swedish film adaptations — but with the release of David Fincher’s new The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo adaptation last week, American audiences are meeting the strange, vengeful hacker once again — and in a very new way, thanks to 26-year-old actress Rooney Mara.

Casting Mara, says Fincher, “wasn’t about finding someone who would comply. What I was smitten with, from about the third screen test of the five or six we did, was that this was a person I could turn this over to. I could say to her, ‘Here are the most annoying marbles that you need to keep rattling around in your skull. Now go—make it hurt, make it unfathomable, don’t articulate it, don’t use any of an actor’s greatest tricks or natural tools to build a bridge to the audience. Not even eye contact.’ And she’d do it.” Mara, for her part, understood Salander’s contradictions. “She has this ability to be *incredibly violent, and she has a lot of anger and rage, but it’s something she works incredibly hard to keep at bay,” says the actress.

Then there was that Salander look, which she and Fincher worked hard to perfect. “Rooney’s a beautiful girl,” says Fincher. “She can look like Audrey Hepburn—but she can also look like a boy. So we’d decide where we wanted to put the stud through her eyebrow by asking, ‘Where is it going to be most in the way? Where is the most distracting place?’ ” Also, he adds, “We had to be really sure that the nipple piercing was in the place where it was going to catch the light.”

I love it! She looks so great! And her legs are freaking amazing! I never noticed them before.

Wow she looks great. Amazing dress and make-up. She looks great with a red lip.

 

[LolaSvelt]

By the way, she's wearing Louis Vuitton Pre-Fall 2012 at the premiere...before the collection has actually been unveiled! I thought Sofia Coppola was the only person who was allowed to do that.

LV before it has even been shown? Impressive since she's a new comer. Can't wait to see it in HQ, the fabric looks interesting. She really has great skin too and pretty eyes.
