Rooney Mara cast As Lisbeth Salander in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo

(Rooney Mara in the remake of A Nightmare On Elm Street) The American remake of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo has finally found the all-important cast member.

Personally I would like to see a Wolverine/Jubilee teamup movie in the vein of the mid 1990s comics, a hugely underrated run of low-key stories which were a fantastic character showcase for both Logan and Jubes.
