Rooney Mara Didn’t Want A Nightmare on Elm Street

Mara told EW the 2010 remake was a role she didn’t really want.  “And then I went in [to audition] and I was like, “F**k, I definitely got that,” she says.

Later in the interview, she details what happened after the film.

“I didn’t want to act anymore.  I was like, This isn’t what I signed up for.  If this is what my opportunities are going to be like, then I’m not that interested in acting.  So I was very discouraged and disheartened.  And then I got the Social Network script.  That kind of inspired me.”

For the full interview, pick up the January 6 issue of EW which is now on stands.
