Morning Brew – Rooney Mara on “Carol” and the “undeniably magnetic” Cate Blanchett

Good morning! It’s Friday!

Rooney Mara says she could still be playing Lisbeth Salander in the next Girl with the Dragon Tattoo film. But more importantly, she’s talking about the “undeniably magnetic” Cate Blanchett, her on-screen love interest in Carol and the film’s vague ending. (There’s no real discussion about what the ending is, but it’s mildly spoilery.)

Carol‘s out screenwriter Phyllis Nagy talked about the film with The Guardian. Next, she will adapt Melanie Raabe’s The Trap for the big screen.

Catey Shaw’s new video for “Tell Everyone” is fun and sexy and could possibly make you mad at your ex all over again.

Lambda Literary remembers lesbian writer Sandra Moran, who passed away last week from cancer.

The second episode of Lena Dunham’s Women of the Hour podcast featured her queer sibling, Grace, and Janet Mock this week.

Cara Delevingne talked about love and relationships in a new interview:

“I can’t date someone who’s like me, because we’d probably end up killing each other. I need someone who can plan things.”

While she won’t be singing to her love, she is still a romantic:

“I’ve serenaded a couple of people before, which is really embarrassing. I used to write love letters a lot, and I have travelled very far for a day to see someone.”

And she says she’s ride-or-die:

“Loyalty is one of the most important things to me in the world. Once I care about someone, I’ll jump in front of a car for them. I’m a real ‘ride or die’ kind of gal. It’s all about trust and loyalty.”

St. Vincent is a lucky woman!

Jennifer Lawrence is on the cover of Vogue this month. Inside, she says Kim Davis is the “lady who makes me embarrassed to be from Kentucky”:

“Don’t even say her name in this house. All those people holding their crucifixes, which may as well be pitchforks, thinking they’re fighting the good fight. I grew up in Kentucky. I know how they are.”

Viola Davis thinks there are too many unrealistic sex scenes in How to Get Away with Murder.

Ilene Chaiken talked about this week’s tragic Empire episode with Variety. Here she is on Lucious and Mimi:

“What it means is that Mimi and Lucious are two of a kind. They’re so like one another and they’re finding a partnership. They both clearly have some dark corners that they play in and they are making big things happen and going to those places together and forming a trust and a bond together that gets kind of consummated in this twisted scene. There’s nothing from that hookup other than Mimi knows exactly what she’s doing.”

Me to Ilene Chaiken right now:
