Daniel Craig: Rooney Mara is 'Spot On' As Lisbeth

Daniel Craig leaves his hotel and hops into a cab on Thursday (September 22) in New York City.

Earlier in the day, an extended trailer for The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was released!

Daniel, 43, recently spoke with MTV about knowing that Rooney Mara was right for the role of Lisbeth Salander.

“I think I knew pretty early on. I screen-tested with her a couple times and I saw exactly what [director David Fincher] was after with her,” Daniel said.

“If you read the books, she’s just spot-on. Rooney herself is actually really rounded and normal – she’s not boring, honestly – but she had to bring this very broken human being to life and she did it brilliantly,” he added.
