Rooney stole the lead in ’The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo’ from under K-Stew’s nose! Does she pull off the tough look better, too?
Although Kristen Stewart was up for the role of a lifetime in the highly-anticipated movie The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, the job went to relative unknown Rooney Mara. With the first pictures of a punked-out, in-character Rooney, 25, showing up in W magazine, it’s hard not to think about how Kristen, 20, would have fit in the role. She has experience walking on the wild side, losing much of her glam while playing Joan Jett in 2010′s The Runaways. Vote now for your favorite girl gone punk!

Rooney looks like a hardcore punk with psychological issues. So she definitely wins! They did a good job of making her up for the part. She went from pretty to…this. I don’t think American remakes of these movies are necessary (Hollywood just wants to cash in on the franchise, like they do with everything that’s popular), but the results will be interesting. I’m glad KStew wasn’t cast in this role. That would have ruined it for me. She may have a natural lesbian/tomboy look about her, but that does not make an actress.
