Financier Annapurna Pictures wasn't happy with Blake Lively in the lead role; they dropped out. Mara replaces Lively as the lead, and joins cast members Channing Tatum, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Jude Law. Scott Z. Burns wrote the script, andl will produce along with Greg Jacobs and Lorenzo di Bonaventura. Open Road is set to distribute.
Mara will play a woman addicted to prescription drugs to cope with the anxiety and depression caused by her husband's (Tatum) impending release from prison. It's wise of Mara to choose a role like this. While there are ingenues aplenty, few young actresses can deliver edge. Here's more on her potential "Dragon Tattoo" follow-ups.

Megan Ellison behaved really poorly in this situation...there's no way Soderbergh would have her back now.
