Can I have this dance? Ryan Gosling whisks Rooney Mara into his arms in romantic scene for hush-hush new film

There's not much known about the plot of Ryan Gosling and Rooney Mara's new film.



But one thing seems certain: the actors are falling for one another in the Untitled Terrence Malick Project.



The Notebook star and his Girl with the Dragon Tattoo filmed an intimate scene in Austin, Texas on Tuesday, slow dancing on the evening set as she nuzzled in his arms.

Mara, 27, was styled in a casual thigh-high skirt, blazer and riding boots, while Gosling, 31, wore jeans and a T-shirt for the scene.

The winsome star seemed to hypnotise the actress as they danced, holding her hand near his chest as they gazed into each other's eyes.

Gosling looked preoccupied while Mara rested in his arms Malick's musical drama will follow 'two intersecting love triangles', according to the film's synopsis on iMDB, and will tell a tale of 'obsession and betrayal' - with Austin's music scene serving as its backdrop.

Gosling and Mara also feature alongside a star-studded cast. Natalie Portman, Michael Fassbender, Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett have also been tapped for the project.
