It’s unclear whether her dragon will be on the left or right buttock, but Rooney Mara has definitely evolved from a brash young college student in The Social Network to whatever the hell this is.

The pictures are great, but they’re also not from the film itself, so it’s difficult to get all that excited. Still, Mara looks like she’s about to stab the cigarette butt into her artist’s eye as a tip for the ink job before (hopefully) going to get a sandwich. If that’s the attitude of the film encapsulated in photo form, then God Bless David Fincher.

Check out the full pictures after the jump.
