The official trailer for Oscar-winner Danny Boyle’s latest film, “127 Hours” has been released. “127 Hours” will be released in theatres on November 7th and it stars James Franco, CLemence Poesy, Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara.

127 Hours is the true story of mountain climber Aron Ralston’s (James Franco) remarkable adventure to save himself after a fallen boulder crashes on his arm and traps him in an isolated canyon in Utah. Over the next five days Ralston examines his life and survives the elements to finally discover he has the courage and the wherewithal to extricate himself by any means necessary, scale a 65 foot wall and hike over eight miles before he is finally rescued. Throughout his journey, Ralston recalls friends, lovers (Clemence Poesy), family, and the two hikers (Amber Tamblyn and Kate Mara) he met before his accident. Will they be the last two people he ever had the chance to meet?

With more than 40 million copies sold around the world, author Stieg Larsson’s “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo” is an international phenomenon, having spawned a Swedish film that became one of the highest grossing foreign films ever. Now though, the franchise is heading west with an American remake of Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy heading to the big screen.

Everyone from Natalie Portman and Scarlett Johansson, to Kristen Stewart and Ellen Page, was reportedly after the lead female role of Lisbeth Salander, but it was a relative unknown actress — AccessHollywood.com’s newest Rising Star, Rooney Mara — who nabbed the part. So who is she?

Horror fans know the brunette beauty as Nancy Holbrook, the girl who stared down Freddy Krueger in the 2010 remake of “A Nightmare on Elm Street.”

“We always had sort of like a running joke about Nancy and Freddy’s romance — how in the sequel they’d run away together,” Rooney laughed in an interview earlier this year with Access Hollywood.

In taking on the role, Rooney will give her own stamp to the part, which was originated by Swedish actress Noomi Rapace. Noomi had said she had no interest in reprising the role, although she is interested in breaking into the U.S. film market, having just signed with a talent agency and management company in Hollywood.

Rooney’s older sister, Kate Mara, has been around for more than a decade, most recently appearing in “Iron Man 2,” but there is no sibling rivalry of which to speak.

“It’s been really great for me because, you know, I’ve been able to look up to her and get advice from her,” Rooney previously told Access of her sister-in-the-business benefits. “We don’t have a rivalry at all.”

Hello, my name is Rachel and I will be the new owner of Kate Mara Fan. You may know me from my other sites, Diane Kruger Fan and Adoring Dianna Agron. I’m really excited to be taking over this site as I’ve been a fan of Kate and her work for a couple years now!

To start things off, I have created a brand new layout for this site! Hopefully everyone likes the new look! Stay tuned for plenty of new updates all coming soon! I’m going to focus on adding some content to the site. I really want to make this the most complete and up-to-date resource for everything Kate!

Official Synopsis: Six New Yorkers juggle love, friendship, and the keenly challenging specter of adulthood. Sam Wexler is a struggling writer who’s having a particularly bad day. When a young boy gets separated from his family on the subway, Sam makes the questionable decision to bring the child back to his apartment and thus begins a rewarding, yet complicated, friendship. Sam’s life revolves around his friends—Annie, whose self-image keeps her from commitment; Charlie and Mary Catherine, a couple whose possible move to Los Angeles tests their relationship; and Mississippi, a cabaret singer who catches Sam’s eye.

Written, directed, and starring Josh Radnor (CBS’s How I Met Your Mother), happythankyoumoreplease boasts a wryly funny script and engaging performances from its ensemble cast. With honesty and humor, Radnor captures a generational moment—young people on the cusp of truly growing up, struggling for connection, and hoping to define what it means to love and be loved.

I’m getting seriously behind on updates for this site and I apologize for that.  I do have tons of stuff that I will be adding this week assuming all goes well.  For now, I have a couple little items that have been emailed to me.

- Whowhatwear.com chose Kate as their girl of the month.  A cute article is included and they call Kate their “current fashion crush”.  Click here to read the whole thing.

- Rebecca emailed me with the video preview for tomorrow night’s new episode of Entourage and it looks like Kate’s appearances might finally be happening.  You can view the preview here and if the girl pouring coffee isn’t Kate, I’ll be very surprised.  Thank you Rebecca for the heads up.

- I also received an email from Stephen Lacant (the director of Kate’s movie Fireflies) with some excellent news.  The film has finally been released in the U.S.!  It’s available for download here and I will be posting more info and the photos he included in the email tomorrow.  Stephen also pointed out that the movie will be available via amazon.com soon.  Thank you very, very much for emailing me Stephen!
