Here we feature some of the points of comparison between the two stars and get to check out more pictures of the two either as themselves or as Lisbeth Salander in the film's story.

Even before the actual showing date of 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo' came around, the star who played the lead role of Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish version, Noomi Rapace, was certainly compared to Rooney Mara, who played it out as amazing in the American version.

Rooney Mara stands 5'3" in height and was born to professional parents in the world of sports and real estate while Noomi Rapace stands 5'4" in height and was born to artistic parents, an actress and dancer.

Both of their first names rhyme - Noomi and Rooney. Did fans notice that early on? Rooney's real and complete name is Patricia Rooney Mara while Noomi's is Noomi Noren. Rapace is just the surname of her former husband.

When it comes to the real life piercings, Noomi did not have to do new ones since she used to really sport them before when she was still one punk rocker during the days of her youth. But admiringly, all for the role, young Rooney wholeheartedly got a lot of new piercings both in Sweden and Brooklyn.

Noomi hates films that are way too predictable and this could be one of the reasons why she decided to take the role due to its dynamic story. Rooney admires the treatment of the film especially with how the nude scenes and photos are projected that are not the usual feminine submissive, but dead freakish.

So who do you like better between the two? Are you team Rooney or team Noomi?
