David Fincher Eyeing 'The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo'

[GameOverRob]

I really don't understand why anyone would want to watch 8 minutes of a film.

[Buio]

There's an extended 8 minute trailer out:

It certainly looks great, and acting seems fine.

I noticed a minor thing when they showed Salander on the commute train at 2:35. Outside scenes was from new models but inside was from the older ones.

Hold up?!?!?! These films already have had an original release, now they are "Hollywood'ing" them up? :(

Nope.

Fincher is doing his own adaptation of the books. These movies are supposed to follow books more closely.

Swedish movies have been average at best, guy playing Blomkvist was really bad and they took too many liberties with the plot of the books.

On the other hand, Noomi Rapace who played Lisbeth Salander in the Swedish adaptations of the novel to film is the female lead in the new Sherlock Holmes movie. She is still someone I would sleep with.

[Crazysah]

Any idea if there are any advance screenings of this in New York?

[anarkhy]

if its not made by hollywood or if the movie has subtitles then it need to be refilmed for the america audience.

[HawkMan]

Kinda beats the German solution.

We've been over this like 3 times in this thread already. Has anybody complaining that it's already been done even seen the swedish movies?

[HawkMan]

Yet, the "fact" that this will be closer to the books is completely out of thin air.

It'll probably be just as far from the books, just differently.

[inferniac]

The dismay that usually greets reports of a Hollywood remake of a European film has been notably absent from the debate over David Fincher's The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo. This may be due to the unambitious nature of the original Swedish film, which despite an acclaimed performance from Noomi Rapace as goth hacker Lisbeth Salander had the whiff of a nordic Midsomer Murders. (...) It's not the only aspect of the promo that feels daring and challenging in a way the Swedish film never did.

That maybe my biggest issue with the swedish movies, they had an amazing material to work with, but made it into an average movie. Fincher gives hope for more.

She's also in the Alien prequel Prometheus. Hot chick.

12 bucks for that stupid song, he must be crazy.

Lol it's the whole sountrack...

[Konstanov]

Lol it's the whole sountrack...

Considering that Trent has given away a lot of music for free, even if he charged $12 for one song I would still pay it.

[inferniac]

That 8 minute trailer is now on youtube

[ThePitt]

Lol it's the whole sountrack...

but worth just one song. Like I said, pay 12 bucks for a song is unfair. (the soundtrack has 39 songs, only two of them have "lyrics", one is a cover, short and I expect a lot more (the ppl who made the trailers are really good, they sell you the movie and the song in two minutes!) and the other is from 'how to destroy angels' or something like that, which sucks.).

and if Im here on this thread, its because of trend. Nothing more. The movie looks boring. Whats attrating on all of this?. A fugly lesbian?. I rather watch nice looking lesbians in porn instead. This lesbian looks like trash. The story?. Boring, they talk too much, just looking the long trailer (and right now he said "we need to talk", :lol: give me a break!). Damn, she is really disgusting. With her eyebrows shaved, lol wtf. And they keep talking.

An european movie made by americans, always, is a fail. They cant capture the feeling of the original.

[HawkMan]

She's not lesbian, the character anyway.

[DocM]

She's not lesbian, the character anyway.

Actress Rooney Mara isn't gay, has a boyfriend, and all the piercings in the film are real including a nipple ring. She got them as part of her prep for the role. Dedication :p

Tidbit: she lives, eats & breathes football - her family founded, owns, and runs the NFL's NY Giants.

[HawkMan]

So, she's not gay in any way then.

Well, if the movie has "too much talking" for you than maybe you shouldn't bother watching it.

Also I assume you've seen the original since you're praising it?

I wasn't aware of this going in to the cinema, but they condensed all three novels into one movie. I thought this was just the first novel and they were making a full trilogy of films. For what it was a film, it wasn't bad but they cut every single bit of character development from the novels to make the plot fit in one movie in under three hours.

Lol, where did you get that, this is only the first book, if it's successful enough they'll make next movies.

It is definitely NOT all three books.

Well in the sleep-deprived mind of a father of a 2 year old my memory is not what it should be, for some reason I didn't think Martin Vanger was supposed to die until the third novel.
