Rooney Mara Video Interview On ‘Ain’t Them Bodies Saints,’ Casey Affleck

Rooney Mara stars as Ruth in the new drama Ain’t Them Bodies Saints. Outlaw couple Ruth and Bob (Casey Affleck) are apprehended by lawmen after a shootout in which Ruth kills a man. When Bob takes the blame and is sent to prison, the pregnant Ruth is left to take care of her family all on her own.

Mara felt her scenes with Affleck were pivotal to the production. “They were really important days for me because, you know, I have to spend the rest of the movie pining for him,” Mara told Uinterview exclusively. “The little bit of screen time we get to share together is really important cause you have to kind of believe it enough so that it can carry that rest of the film.”
