Hello all our little darlings!

Have you ever heard of a one of the best authors in the entire universe Stieg Larsson (aka Karl Stig-Erland Larsson)? I bet you have unless you have been living in a cave for the past ten years. Larsson is best known for writing the "Millennium series" of crime novels (which was btw published and became noted only after the death of the author 2004).


Anyway, Larsson trilogy handles pretty much the downsides of the society and life, such as rape, miscarriage of justice, violence, greed and even incest. The three books were adjusted into movies and they did a pretty damn good job. I loved every movie (and this is where people start being horrified). ;)
Well, I don’t bother to review explicate the plot since so many people have read the first book or seen the film and that’s not really the main point here. Just check this if you wish to spoil.

HERE. Since the three movies (Män som hatar kvinnor, Flickan som lekte med elden and Luftslottet som sprängdes) became known the American movie industries decided to make their own versions. The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo in being filmed and will be placed in Canada (not in Sweden as in the original version which btw sucks). Wonderful main cast, Michael Nyqvist as Mikael Blomkvist, a Swedish journalist and Noomi Rapace as a dark minded Lisbeth Salander are replaced with Daniel Craig and a Hollywood newcomer Rooney Mara.

Never liked this switch but maybe they both can pull it through. Not that I´d question their acting skills, I just loved the original films so deeply that it´s a quite a hard job to try to beat the original ones. Sorry.
