Rooney Mara to Play Audrey Hepburn in Biopic Directed by Luca Guadagnino

Oscar-nominated actress Rooney Mara ("Carol", "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo") will play iconic actress Audrey Hepburn in an upcoming Apple biopic directed by Oscar-nominated helmer Luca Guadagnino ("Call Me By Your Name") from a script by Michael Mitnick ("The Giver", "The Staggering Girl", "The Current War").

She received a total of five Academy Award nominations for Best Actress, and won in 1953 for "Roman Holiday". During her four-decade career, Hepburn achieved EGOT status, winning Emmy, Oscar, Tony and Grammy awards, the last of which she received posthumously. She was also a noted fashion icon, being the muse of French designer Hubert de Givenchy, and devoted a great deal of her life to charitable work. In 1993 she received the AMPAS' Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award.

Mara is also producing alongside Mitnick. Her upcoming projects include Sarah Polley's "Women Talking", in which she stars opposite Frances McDormand, Ben Whishaw, Claire Foy and Jessie Buckley.

New on DVD and Blu-ray: DON'T WORRY, HE WON'T GET FAR ON FOOT (2018)

<< BUY NOW >>

Product Description: The last day Portland slacker John Callahan is able to walk, he wakes up without a hangover — because he's still drunk from the night before. That night at a wild party he meets a wisecracking drinking buddy (Jack Black), who insists they leave for an even better party he knows about. But when his new friend dozes off at the wheel, John wakes up confined to a wheelchair with only partial use of his arms. Though he initially has no intention of getting sober, he reluctantly attends a 12-step meeting run by a charismatic and dedicated sponsor named Donnie (Jonah Hill) and reconnects with Annu (Rooney Mara), a therapist he met at the hospital. With their encouragement, John finds that love is not beyond his reach and discovers a hidden talent for drawing, channeling his playful personality into crude, politically incorrect — and often hilarious — cartoons, which develop a national following.

Based on a true story, this poignant, insightful, funny drama about redemption, forgiveness and the healing power of art is adapted from Callahan's autobiography and directed by two-time Oscar nominee Gus Van Sant (Milk, Good Will Hunting). The film stars Oscar nominees Joaquin Phoenix (Her, Walk the Line), Jonah Hill (The Wolf of Wall Street, Moneyball) and Rooney Mara (Carol, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo), as well as Jack Black (Bernie, School of Rock), Carrie Brownstein ("Portlandia," "Transparent"), Beth Ditto and Kim Gordon.
