Rooney Mara to star in popstar movie with original music by SiaSeptember 26, 2016 - 15:29 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Rooney Mara has reportedly landed herself a role in a popstar drama film with original music by Sia, Digital Spy said citing The Hollywood Reporter. Vox Lux, which is due to be directed by Brady Corbet, will follow the rise of singer Celeste to super-stardom and is set to cover a "15-year odyssey. Beginning in 1999, Vox Lux will move through to the present day, commenting on the major cultural revolutions that have taken place throughout the 21st century - as seen through Celeste's eyes. And if that doesn't sound intriguing enough, the news that singer-songwriter and all-round huge vocalist Sia will be providing original music for the film should. Considering Sia's last album was titled This Is Acting, we think it's only appropriate that Sia finally lends her award-winning talents to the big screen. This Is Acting led to the releases of 'Cheap Thrills', 'Bird Set Free' and 'Alive', while her recent single with Kendrick Lamar, 'The Greatest', is a preview of her new and hotly-anticipated album We Are Your Children. Meanwhile, Rooney Mara has been doing the rounds on the festival circuit, recently appearing at the Toronto Film Festival, where upcoming movies Una and the Weinstein-fronted Mary Magdalene biopic Lion have premiered. Rooney's last big-draw performance was in the Oscar-nominated Carol, alongside Cate Blanchett. Although frequently overlooked during awards season, Rooney secured several Best Actress nominations - including a tiebreak win at the Cannes Film Festival. With both Rooney and Sia on board, we can't help but feel our awards senses tingling.
