Mara will play the lead in Toibin’s story set in Brooklyn and Ireland in the early 1950s about a young woman torn between her family in Ireland and the American who wins her heart.
The project is being put together by the team that brought audiences the Carey Mulligan-led An Education, with producers Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey formalizing their working relationship in Posey’s Wildgaze Films.
Dwyer joins Posey’s Wildgaze Films as a partner while novelist and screenwriter Nick Hornby, who is also Posey’s husband, will “take a hands off role” in the new look set-up.
The $25 million adaptation of Brooklyn is set to shoot in the two locations the project is set in the Spring of 2013, Posey told THR.
Dwyer said the movie would roll then to ensure Mara’s participation.
Wildgaze partners Dwyer and Posey are also gearing up the movie production of A Long Way Down, based on Hornby’s own best-selling novel of the same name.
It will mark the first production out of the gate for the new look Wildgaze and will be directed by French filmmaker Pascal Chaumeilwho makes his English-language debut with the project later this year.

It’s been 10 years since Charlie Kaufman and Spike Jonze last collaborated, on the hugely beloved Adaptation, but the distinctive writer and director are gearing up to work together again, with Jonze planning to direct Kaufman’s script this year. Amy Adams, Joaquin Phoenix and Samantha Morton are already on board, and though Carey Mulligan had been circling a role for a while, she apparently can’t make the schedule work, which leaves an opening that clearly can only be filled by another woman recently Oscar-nominated for her breakthrough role.

According to Variety, The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara is in final negotiations to join the film, playing an unspecified role in the story about a man who falls in love with the voice of a computer. Mara’s currently at work on The Bitter Pill with Steven Soderbergh, but she’ll have the time to make the move over to Jonze’s movie, which should be ready to go into production fairly soon.

Mara also had Terrence Malick’s new film Lawless coming at some point soon, though given Malick’s habits you never really know when his films will come out, and presumably she’s still on board for The Girl Who Played With Fire, the Dragon Tattoo sequel that as of January was set to shoot at the end of this year. But with David Fincher not looking all that interested in returning for Played with Fire, it wouldn’t be hard to imagine that Mara wouldn’t be too interested either, so she’s cramming her resume full of auteur-driven films before she goes back to the grueling Lisbeth Salander role.

So what’s this role that both Carey Mulligan and Rooney Mara would be up for playing? Both actresses have incredible ranges from the limited work we’ve seen from them, so it’s fairly hard to guess. Anyone out there want to throw out some wild ideas?

Talk about playing extremes: after chopping, dying and shaving her hair for her role in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara recently lightened her locks and added lengthy extensions for her latest film, The Bitter Pill. But thankfully the transformation wasn’t quite as traumatic this time around, according to her hair stylist.

“Rooney was excited that she was unrecognizable — even her driver didn’t recognize her on the way out of the salon,” stylist Kristina Barricelli, co-owner of New York’s Gemini 14 salon, tells PEOPLE. “She was really excited because she’d never tried extensions.”

Barricelli used Great Lengths Extensions on the star, after the film’s crew decided that strand-by-strand extensions would be more believable than a wig. First, Barricelli’s sister dyed Mara’s hair — “She made it possible to take her from jet black to ombré without ever compromising the condition of Rooney’s hair,” she explains — then experts at a color lab in Italy hand dip-dyed the extensions to match.

“She needed to look like a disheveled woman that is battling deep depression for her role,” Barricelli explains. “We decided ombré would give her the opportunity to look chic on the red carpet but still look unkempt for the movie. It was a perfect solution for her.”

Though there were a few challenges — Mara’s hair is still quite short on the sides because of Dragon Tattoo — the team made the look work, and the star couldn’t be happier. In fact, she’s already given the do a red-carpet test run.

“Rooney will have the extensions in until she’s done shooting,” Barricelli explains. “So it’ll be fun to see her play with her new hair.”

Catherine Zeta-Jones and Channing Tatum join Rooney Mara on the set of their new film, Bitter Pill, on Tuesday (April 17) in New York City.

In the movie, which is set to be released on February 8, 2013, Channing will play Rooney‘s recently paroled husband.

The crime thriller is Channing‘s latest collaboration with Steven Soderberg who also worked on Magic Mike.

“If you ever wanted to know what it was like to be a male stripper, this is it,” Channing, who was a real-life stripper when he was 18, told reporters at a recent press junket.
