Scarlett Johansson was once in the running for David Fincher’s adaptation of Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. But although the actor gave an above average screening, Fincher didn’t cast her because of Johansson’s attractiveness.

Fincher eventually ended up picking Rooney Mara as hacker Lisbeth Salander in Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. It was a role that Mara shared she was determined to fight for after being considered for the movie for quite some time.
“I was ready to throw down. I was thinking, You either think I can be this girl or you don’t, but I need to move on with my life,” Mara once told Vogue (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Fincher had a long and difficult casting process before choosing Mara, having to wade through many qualified candidates.
