Listed as a musical drama that's scheduled to be released sometime in 2013, the plot line of the movie has largely been kept under wraps thus far. An official logline released by FilmNation in February 2012 described Malick's picture as a story of "two intersecting love triangles" and, "sexual obsession and betrayal set against the music scene in Austin, Texas."

Rooney Mara has also signed on to appear in Steven Soderbergh's 2013 film adaptation of A Bitter Pill. As the lead character, Emily Hawkins, she'll play "a woman who turns to prescription medication as a way of handling her anxiety concerning her husband's upcoming release from prison." Co-starring alongside Mara in the crime drama/thriller are actors Jude Law, Channing Tatum, Catherine Zeta-Jones and Vinessa Shaw.

In late April 2012, Rooney was named as the choice replacement for Carey Mulligan in Spike Jonze's upcoming film project. Variety reported that Mulligan had to drop out due to scheduling conflicts, and Mara has apparently been selected to fill in alongside Amy Adams, Joaquin Phoenix and Samantha Morton. Though details of her role are unclear, Mara would be the final element needed for Jonze to wrap up the planning phase and start filming, according to Variety. The script, penned by Jonze himself, revolves around a man who falls in love with the voice of a computer. Read Less
