Rooney Mara Interview, Side Effects - After her breakout performance in The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara is becoming a force to be reckoned with. Mara can next be seen opposite Channing Tatum in Steven Soderbergh's Side Effects as a young woman whose life is turned upside down when her psychiatrist (played by Jude Law) prescribes a drug that has potentially dangerous side effects.

Tribute.ca spoke with Rooney in Los Angeles about working on the film, the preparation she had to go through playing a clinically depressed woman and the director who changed her life forever.

Side Effects movie synopsis:

Plagued by emotional and mental troubles, Emily (Rooney Mara) faces uncontrollable anxiety regarding her husband, Martin's (Channing Tatum) upcoming release from prison. Turning to her psychiatrist (Jude Law) for help, she is prescribed a mysterious new drug which is intended to treat anxiety and seems to work wonders... at first.

Unfortunately, the pills she takes begin causing serious, unexpected side effects that cause trouble for those around her, especially when a murder is committed.

Starring: Jude Law, Rooney Mara, Catherine Zeta-Jones, Channing Tatum, Vinessa Shaw, Ann Dowd
