Set in Brooklyn and Ireland in the early 1950s, Mara would play a young woman torn between her family in Ireland and the American who wins her heart.
British novelist and screenwriter Nick Hornby ("About a Boy," "High Fidelity") is adapting the script for the pic which is being made by much of the team behind 2009's "An Education".
Finola Dwyer and Amanda Posey will produce.
Production will kick off in Spring 2013.
There's also casting news for a film adaptation of Hornby's book A Long Way Down.
The story follows four strangers on New Year's Eve who coincidentally plan to jump to their deaths from the same rooftop.
Emile Hirsch has joined the cast, meaning there's only one of the four key roles still to be cast. Hirsch will be playing J.J., a pizza delivery man and former rocker who gave up his dreams of being a rock star to be with a girl only for the band to break up and his girlfriend to dump him.
Pierce Brosnan is also in talks to play a scandal-plagued talk show host. Toni Collette would to play the helpless single mom of a disabled young man.
Jack Thorne ("The Scouting Book for Boys") wrote the adapted script.
Production on 'Down' also takes place in London in the early Fall.
