Rooney Mara join Cate Blanchett in Todd Haynes’ “Carol”August 29, 2013 - 17:44 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The Weinstein Co. acquired Carol at the tail end of Cannes this year. At the time, Mia Wasikowska was attached to star opposite Cate Blanchett in the story of a burgeoning relationship between two very different women in 1950s New York, Deadline said. Wasikowska is no longer in the mix and Rooney Mara has become attached to the role of a young woman working in a department store and hoping for a better life. Blanchett is playing a wife trapped in a loveless marriage who’s desperate to break free but fearful of losing her daughter in the process. Far From Heaven helmer Todd Haynes is directing the drama that’s based on the novella The Price Of Salt by The Talented Mr Ripley author Patricia Highsmith. Phyllis Nagy (Mrs Harris) penned the adaptation. Shooting starts in spring next year. Blanchett is coming off of a highly-praised turn in Woody Allen’s Blue Jasmine. Mara will next be seen in Spike Jonze’s Her and Stephen Daldry’s Trash. Top stories The creative crew of the Public TV had chosen 13-year-old Malena as a participant of this year's contest.
