Slaying the Rumor

Carey Mulligan wants Girl with the Dragon Tattoo fans she will not be playing Lisbeth Salander in the upcoming U.S. adaptation of the best-seller.

“I’m not, I’m afraid,” the Oscar nominee said. “I can officially quash that rumor once and for all. It’s not going to be me. But I’m excited to see it. I love the books and I think it will be great.”

Daniel Craig is in talks to play the lead role, btw, which I hope does end up materializing because I love him so.

Up next for Mulligan are Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps and Never Let Me Go.
