She doesn’t have the inner warmth. Mara is great in roles that require a heart of ice.

I GUESS she could pull it off, she just needs a personality transplant to make it more believable.

Ella Purnell from Yellowjackets could pull this off and is a relative unknown.

ENOUGH WITH REMAKES ALREADY!!
How could Rooney Mara ever compete with Jennifer Love Hewitt’s legendary, classic, magnificent performance as the original actress to play Audrey Hepburn!?

Are you giving Rooney the mickey, op?

With work there's a resemblance she just needs a lot of warmth and emathy.

Rooney looks like a 7 year old anorexic boy. She should be named Anna Rectic. Fuck this bitch.

Natalie Portman looked like her years ago. Agree about Ella Purnell.
Rooney might be able to pull it off but honestly why even make this?

Fine but Audrey's life all that interesting. I'd rather watch a biopic of Hedy Lamarr.

Oh yes, Hedy Lamarr would be wonderful.

[Quote]Last April, Variety reported that writer-producer Jacqueline Hoyt was writing a drama series about Hepburn that's based on a treatment co-written by Hepburn's son Luca Dotti and Italian journalist Luigi Spinola.
So Mara will star in the film and we can also expect a dramatic series from her son. I wonder how accurate these portrayals will be. Hepburn's sons have been diligent about protecting Hepburn's legacy.

Luca Dotti... sounds cute. Is he?

Jeez. At least the abysmal Jennifer Love Hewitt radiated sweetness and warmth.
Rooney is a fish stick.

So I guess the series won’t talk about Audrey fudging the truth about being a Resistance cyclist. Not a single member of the Dutch residence knew who she was. She was by all accounts a hungry, sickly girl who spent the war suffering but telling the Hollywood studios you spent the war as a teen a bicycle courier during your screen test sounds cooler.

Who will play Capucine, Audrey's bff? She was more interesting than Audrey.

Rooney Mara bugged me back in the early 2010s, but then I saw her in Carol. Her Cannes win made complete sense to me after I saw the film (I think they should have also shared it with her costar Blanchett who was exquisite--though I haven't seen Mon roi). The innocence and impressionability she conveys is beautiful.
She hasn't had as much success since. I just saw her in Nightmare Alley. Whilst the film feels like it's just going through the motions, the production values are extraordinary and the cast is strong, though, again, the standouts are Mara (and Blanchett) IMO. I never thought I'd be extolling the virtues of Rooney Mara (and Cate Blanchett) in 2021, but here we are.
Is she Audrey Hepburn? Who knows. These "real-life" stunt-casting films aren't interesting (to me).

*I should qualify my comments. It's not that I think stunt-casting films are uninteresting. For recent example, I enjoyed the heart Jessica Chastain brought to Tammy Faye. I actually thought Nicole Kidman brought some technical prowess to Lucille Ball. And I loved watching the prospect of Kristen Stewart choking to death on the large pearls she gulped down (sadly, that never came to fruition). But, ultimately, these exercises in mimicry left me with nothing I'll be talking about years from now.
I think the gold, though, is mostly in fictional depictions. I think they age better, generally, as well. I mean, seven years later, I still think about Carol. Imagine if we were to be blessed with a film of that stature in the near future ...

It's weird. Their individual features do more or less match, but put together, the two women don't resemble one another at all.

I didn’t like Carol. Not a patch on Far From Heaven because Blanchett’s face didn’t move. Rooney was good, though, better than she was in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo.
