Good morning!
Let’s just start with this image from the new Ghostbusters, coming this summer. “Movie star Kate McKinnon” has a nice ring to it.
Rooney Mara is on the January cover of Elle and, inside, she talks about loving playing Lisbeth Salander (she’d gladly cut her hair again for the Girl with the Dragon Tattoo sequel) and why she doesn’t love having to campaign for awards season.
“It’s such a weird process. The whole thing feels kind of gross to me. If [Cate and I] were male and female, there probably would be no question. Getting nominated means something You will get better parts, and I really do want people to see the film. But I don’t feel like it’s something I’m desperate for. I would forgo it all to keep my integrity.”
