Even in the 2nd movie one of the characters was not mentioned at all though they do appear in the film! BANG, BOOOM, POW! Everyone is reading the books right now. The production team was here in Sweden just last week! No. While reading the book, there was plenty of misleads, I even considered Frode and Vanger by himself at some point, because of connection between him and Wennestrom. The Swedish flms were wonderful and I doubt remaking them in the US could possibly do them justice…….I can t imagne they could be improved on. I must admit that having read all three books, I couldn’t believe how awful the films were! But all in all it was a great film. i to this day adore this french classic and was very pleased that noomi felt the same way. Hands off! Especially enjoyed that they look like real people and not airbrushed androids. Agree with the general premise about hollywood potentially ruining it, although your sentiment is remarkably anti. I read the other day that Zaillian changed the end of the story, and Finchers film wot’z have the same end as the book and first Swedish film, which is, if you ask me, a bad bad idea. Just seen the recent pics of Rooney Mara as Salander.. and I gotta say they have stripped her of her sweet demeanor and transformed her into our Lisbeth. I totally agree, I do not think that the Americans can do a better job at this trilogy than what the Swedish has done. Plot in the Carribean? I fooly agree with u.Larson would never agree to that. Those of us who will, are few and far between. are you guys that lazy or just plain spoiled?). In any case, I read about this on R. Ebert’s blog, he mentions Daniel Craig as Kalle B. and Carey Mulligan for Lisbeth and he suggests the twilight star for it… sorry can’t remember her name. I will have to see the American version first before I change my mind. She’s early twenties but can easily pass for a teenager, has the right physical build and is an excellent actress. The original films were basically what we would call “art house” films. Maybe though, they will spend more time on the script and the production. Looking forward to watching the foreign film! Nobel consideration should be given. The kewpie doll faces of Pitt and Clooney will be ridiculous, and Depp is too much like Lisbeth T herself to make it believable. These 3 books were very well portrayed by the Swedish in Sweden and any further “adaptations” is purely exploitation. I fear the American version will be “dumbed down” for the American audience. It will be like the Da Vinci Code – fun book to read but worst movie ever. Hollywood (wherever it’s located) rarely if ever improves on the original version of a film, even if the original was a small budget American film. So it will be very interrsting to see if D Fincher will make out of this. We are not interested in what you have to say, you sound like a five year old – an idiot. The first movie, “The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo”, is said to be released the 21’st December 2011 in USA, Canada and in Sweden. AND a good actress, serch out some of her pre, -Juno films. Directed by Daniel Alfredson. Having just seen the three Swedish movies (had read the three books earlier) and thinking about the Hollywood initiative. Hollywood will ruin the stories, make changes that will infuriate people that read the books and don’t think that changes are needed. The villains are wonderfully creepy looking. Stieg Larsson's three novels (collectively known as "The Millennium Series") were published posthumously, and each became a feature film. So why mess with it? From Skelleftehamn, Sweden. DO NOT REMAKE THE MOVIES ! Perhaps the finest book since Silence of the Lambs, “A literary masterpiece, that should be taught in schools around the world”. Why does it need to be rewritten? I agree. Can’t help but agree with you. How can they even think about Depp, Pitt or Clooney. I hope Rapace gets an oscar. Can’t wait for the Hollywood films to come out! There is a large group of us who ONLY watch those kinds of films because they are SO MUCH better than the stuff that Hollywood churns out…, I’ve never understood why most Americans don’t like foreign films as much as, most world countries. Natalie Portman is too old. I think the books and current films are great. If it makes for a longer movie then so be it. The complex Berger Blomkviest relationship was hardly touched on , and Salander’s genius in deaingl with the Wernnerstrom financial empire was glossed over and misrepresented from the book. It won’t matter who they cast I will see the Swedish versions. Swedish thriller based on Stieg Larsson's novel about a male journalist and a young female hacker. When he died in November 2004, it was only a few months before the first book of the Millennium Trilogy was released to the Swedish audience and became an immediate success. I wanted so much for this story to stay away from Hollywood, and now it’s going to be exploited for money. Kristen Stewart (twilight) can NOT play lisabeth. And they did a lot of editing about the plot too. ps I am an American, educated in many cultures, albeit, living only in US. Karl Stig-Erland "Stieg" Larsson (15 August 1954 – 9 November 2004) was a Swedish journalist and writer. It’s just not right. You can always just watch the originals and ignore the remakes you know. Brilliant Larsson create brilliant Lisbeth Salander. Ellen Page and Daniel Craig. In my humble opinion, such fantastic stories deserve a far more dramatic film adaptation and larger characters. Maybe all the Hollywood money would convince Larsson’s family to get the mysterious fourth book finished. A lot of things were left out. I couldn’t disagree with you more on the movies being riveting and faithful to the books. These books will become a means of making money, not about the truth of the novels and their drama, everything will be done to maximise the audience, and the integrity of the story will take a back seat. But the previews look better than I had thought. Especially The Tracey Fragment, An American Crime(shudder), and Hard Candy(eerily vengefull as teen taking justice into her own hands), Steve, I don’t know where you’re from, but I will say that I saw a screening last week and a Q & A with the director. I agree completely with JS…the movies were discontinuous. But Daniel Craig and C. Plummer will probably do an OK remake…. I very much doubt the script will be faithful to the book, and they will take some liberties. I agree with the comment below. I certainly would never entertain the idea of going to anything right wing Hollywood. Sorry to say, as I am American. Leave it as it is! What about thetranslation of this title??? The originals are awesome and Hollywood tends to take things over the top. I agree that Noomi Repace’s performance was phenomenol and wonder why she couldn’t reprise the role in the American remake. If that’s the case, I’m not going to waste my time with it. the movies can never opare to the books, and i couldn’t put them down either. I’m not a native Swedish speaker and I watched it with English subs and that worked perfect for me! The movie had premiere on December 12 in London, American premiere on December 14’th in New York City. Carey Mulligan is my choice for Salander, I got to the books after watching the three movies and now I am back and forth… yeah addict here! Amazon Best of the Month, July 2009: The girl with the dragon tattoo is back. Do I think that HW is going to make the movies better, probably not as it pretty much butchers every adaptation as well, but I am holding out hope. I plan to ban it, if anybody cares. I can’t see a pretty little Hollywood actress play this awesome woman. This series keeps getting better and better! Ellen Page would be great…. Enough material was left out of the 1st Swedish version directed by Neils Oplev that a fuller more complete story could be told. You’ve got to be kidding! I’m surprised most of you still don’t know that the actors have already been chosen and shooting has started. Thinks it’s perfect. Stieg Larsson movies and TV shows. He is best known for writing the "Millennium trilogy" of crime novels, which were published posthumously. It’s not that I dislike them, I appreciate both actors, but they would turn the movie into a trademark evolving around THEM instead of the story. I read all three books and could not put them down. Columbia will do a total re-write based on the books, rather than a translation of the original Swedish script. Blomkvist had that charm, ladies guy, but he did sleep only with Lisbeth. You are right. WRONG!!! Another Duh. i will notbe surprise if he plays the role as mikael. Something is good and the Americans have to take over and own it!! On November 9, 2004, the Swedish writer and journalist Stieg Larsson died unexpectedly at the age of 50 of a heart attack. Did not like movie not at all! For me it was almost like watching a silent movie. And I totally agree with bob about Noomi Rapace outstanding performance! I was surprised that Noomi didn’t have breast enhancements for the second movie – it would have been true to the book and visually interesting. Stieg Larsson's three novels (collectively known as "The Millennium Series") were published posthumously, and each became a feature film. fyi anne hathaway has already played a sex scene. As to hollywood making this movie, I think I will be dismayed by their creation! Natalie Portman would be the right size. will be more like the book. I could see Harrison Ford playing Blomkvist and perhaps Natalie Portman as Salander. Director: Martin Uhrmeister | Stars: Kurdo … A remake of Tom Twyker’s Run Lola Run? I’d hate to see Hollywood f**k this masterpiece up! They just seem badly scripted. It has to do with Hollywood execs smelling millions of dollars to produce a film based on a book which has been a hit all over the world and the US included. I really don’t get why so many think the Swedish made films are so great. Other works of fiction portraying extreme violence against women. Find a fairly unknown, but wonderfully terrifying actress to play Salander. - so sad! I hate the thought of the characters being changed to fit some actor and actress. LOL. I think the Fincher version of Girl with the Dragon Tattoo could be a great addition if they don’t go all Hollweird with special effects etc and keep to the Hitchcock thriller formula that is evident in the books and the Swedish movies.
