The New Lisbeth Salander



It's finally here! It may be a Camera copy but low and behold the new (red band) trailer for David Fincher's US version of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. From what can be seen in the trailer it seems Fincher will do the book justice. I am interested to see if he will not tone down the hard-to-read rape scenes because this movie will be directed toward the somewhat conservative American audience. The other stand out from the trailer is of course the music! Trent Reznor and Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeah's have re-created one of Led Zeppelin's finest tracks, Immigrant Song. The soundtrack is going to be more of what I'm looking forward to since I already know the plot and how things pan out, but a soundtrack from Trent Reznor (who beautifully crafted The Social Network's score) will draw my attention in. Another major thing I will be looking for is if the new Lisbeth Salander will work out. For us few who have seen the excelent swedish film version will agree that we really cannot see anyone else play Lisbeth than Noomi Rapace. However now that I have seen Rooney Mara fill her heavy shoes, I will give her a chance. She seems like she will do the character justice. The film is slated for a December 21 release date.
Here is the red band trailer, NSFW.
