Now here's an image: The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo star Rooney Mara caught in the arms of New York City cops!

What's up, you ask?

It turns out it's just another day on the set for Mara, who was busy filming a scene in Manhattan's Upper East Side for her upcoming psychological thriller, The Bitter Pill, directed by Steven Soderbergh.

Looking unkempt in baggy black pants, black jacket and tan sweater, hair dyed brown, the 27-year-old actress plays a woman who turns to prescription meds as a way of dealing with the anxiety of her husband's upcoming release from prison. The film costars Channing Tatum as her ex-con hubby, Jude Law as her shrink, and Catherine Zeta-Jones as a doctor, and hits theaters early next year.
