Fincher's "Girl"

The_social_network-442602963-large

Rooney Mara reminds me of Natalie Portman in the opening scene from The Social Network. Director David Fincher, like myself, apparently suffers with OCD: 99 takes for the win.

Dragon

Appearing almost unrecognisable in David Fincher's upcoming The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. Rooney Mara's transformation is worthy of Natalie Portman in Darren Aronofsky's Black Swan.

The soundtrack is scored by Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross. That's all kinds of awesome.
