One of the most anticipated American remakes adapted from the late Swedish novelist Stieg Larsson. This film is of course the second adaptation of the book, with the first being the classic 2009 Swedish language film of the same name.
Though I am not a supporter of American Remakes as they are:
A. Generally not as good as the original foreign counterparts
B. Assuming that Americans are idiots and won't get the original or will not read subtitles.
C. CGI laden and never seem to stick to the original style that made the foreign version so popular.
this ones (based on what I have seen for the trailer) seems to have at least stayed true to the book as well as the look and feel staying true to the original Swedish movie.
To me Noomi Repace (pictured above in the original movie)will always be Lisbeth Salander, but I definitely am interested to see what Rooney Mara, the little known actress , brings to the role. Especially since there were so many actress reportedly pursuing this role, likeCarey Mulligan and Anne Hathaway. Some other "supposed" actress vying for the roll were Natalie Portman , Keira Knightley, Emma Watson( Harry Potter), Ellen Page (Juno Fame), Mia Wasikowska( Easy A and the new Mary Jane Watson from Spiderman Reboot). Its even been said that Scarlett Johansson and perpetual "Debbie Downer" Kristen Stewart (Bella of Twilight) wanted the roll...But honestly Scarlett Johansson? Are you even serious? Do we not remember that horrible Aeon Flux movie with Charlize Theron? BUT, Kristen Stewart would have incited a riot. Secretly, my curiosity would have liked to see "Hermiome"(Emma Watson) get a little gritty, lol...she supposedly even cut her hair to show dedication to getting the part.
Wonder how good the remake will be?
