If it wasn’t clear enough before, trust me when I say The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo has the makings to be the best movie of the year. In the last City of Films Show [here] we all agreed that it was definitely on our radar as a must see this fall/holiday season, in a moment you will see why.
David Fincher (Fight Club, The Social Network) and Sony deserve a lot of praise for being so true to the material and holding onto that hard R rating, the feel bad movie of Christmas is for adults, the way it was meant to be. Much of the success of course will be attributed to screenwriter Steven Zaillian, who’s work you have likely seen - American Gangster, Gangs of New York, Schindler’s List to name a few. And yes, Trent Reznor is back (heard in The Social Network) for another great soundtrack.
They have released an extended trailer – three minutes and forty five seconds which is worth watching, for me it marks the last trailer for the film I will watch (I want to go as fresh as I can). The film stars Rooney Mara stars as Lisbeth Salander, a young hacker with a dark secret who investigates the Vanger family with disgraced journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Daniel Craig).
Hit the jump to check out the trailer and to read a synopsis. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo opens December 21.
