For the last year it’s been a rare sight to witness Rooney Mara without jet black hair and filled with piercings. Before she likely gets back to the remaining Dragon Tattoo films, aside from her Terrence Malick stint in Lawless, the actress is starring in Steven Soderbergh‘s penultimate film (at least until after his “retirement”). With filming kicking off this week in New York City for The Bitter Pill, we’ve got the first look at Mara below via Just Jared, which doesn’t reveal much more than a different hairstyle and a generally happy demeanor. For now, it’s just great to see another Soderbergh film underway.
Scott Z. Burns‘ script centers on a young woman, Elizabeth Hawkins (Mara), who begins to have paranoid delusions upon the ingestion of a medication prescribed by her new psychiatrist (Jude Law). The two begin to have a sexual relationship, some bad things happen with her husband (Channing Tatum), and nobody goes home happy. Catherine Zeta-Jones and Vinessa Shaw are also part of the cast.
The Bitter Pill is expected to hit theaters in spring 2013.
