Side Effects movie lands Rooney Mara of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
Rooney Mara will star in the thriller, making this her first role since the Oscar-nominated David Fincher film, reports Deadline.
Mara replaces Blake Lively, joining a cast including Jude Law, Channing Tatum and Catherine Zeta-Jones, where she'll play sexy Emily Hawkins, a woman hooked on large mounts of prescription drugs as an aid to dealing with her husband's release from prison, who's served three years. When taking a new prescription medicine, she unknowingly kills the hubby and stands trial for his murder.
Steven Soderbergh helms from the script by Scott Z. Burns (The Bourne Ultimatum, The Informant!, Contagion) , which Open Road Films is set to distribute. Pic starts shooting in April and is produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Greg Jacobs.
