    One movie I'll not watch in cinema. I have a very strong like for the original tv-series that were excellent. If anybody wants a taste of quality that is where they should go imho.

    There was a TV series made in Sweden, but which came first, series or films? Not sure without looking.

    I saw the Swedish series as 6 x 1 1/2 hour episodes, and at no point did it drag or became boring. Actually watched together with Missus Saint and we both really enjoyed it.

    Later they cut the series back into 3 movies. Which makes commercial sense I guess, but being spoiled by 9 hours of quality tv it just doesn't do it for me.

    The 3 films are a condensed versions of the 6 episodes tv series.

    Actually, the series was expanded in 2010 from the 2009 theatrically released films.

    And to all who are asking, the TV series and the films are on DVD/BD.

    The forthcoming teaser trailer is for the American adaptation of the films, starring Daniel Craig and Rooney Mara.

    Looks excellent, although I hope they don't over-Hollywoodise it, if that's a real word. Three of my favourite novels: the subtitles put me off the Swedish version, but Rapace was superb :)

    Very promising! Now I am confident to say that none of the previous Bond actors had such a strong movie career outside the Bond films while they played Bond as Craig has.

    Well Craig has 4 very different movies this year - Cowboys&Aliens, Dream House, Girl with Dragon Tattoo and Tintin... don't know which one excites me the most !!

    that is one lousy trailer!!

    it doesn't have the feel and ambience and tension of the original movies trailers and the music (if that's even the real movie of the trailer) is ALL WRONG!!

    that is a typical "Hollywood Cookie Cutter" trailer!!

    Maybe the trailer is wrong, but have you seen the full movie ?

    Where is it written that David Fincher has to make a shot-by-shot recration of the original film? Have you even seen that film? Or read the source material? As good as it is, it's a fairly standard crime thriller and doesn't really sink to the depths that Larsson did. But with this adaptation, Fincher is clearly going *dark*. As dark as SE7EN, I daresay. The source material demands it, considering that it deals with institutionalised rape, sexual violence and serial murder. Why else would they call it "The feel-bad movie of Christmas"?

    What Daniel Craig have with Bathrooms/toilets. :-?

    Casino Royale, Road To perdition and also this movie.

    I hope there don't make a tv series from it. I saw 30-45 minutes of the first of 6 episode of the tv serie of the Swedish version. The original movie isn't given yet on tv, this made it dificult to watch. As said in another thread about this movie,i whant give it a change if there give the original movie or give those 6 parts in 6 or 3 weeks on Sunday not in 6 days like there did earlier.

    I don't know or i have intrest in this American version, because the fact the orginal not be in English is not the problem.

    That trailer looks really nice, I like how it´s made.
    And I don´t see why it should have the tension, ambience and feel of the ´original´ movies. It´s an adaption of a novel, as were the ´original´ movies. And even so, by no means does it have to deliver the same things as the novel. It just has to be a good film by itself.
    I usually hate it when pop music is used in trailers, especially The Big LZ. But this version of Immigrant Song sounds rather good, in fact, ´Come from the land of ice and snow´ has rarely sounded more appropriate.

    The score is by Trent Renzor, who did THE SOCIAL NETWORK with Fincher. The cover of Immigrant Song is performed by Karen O from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. It's appropriate because the song itself is about the Vikings crossing the Atlantic.

    I especially like the shot of the guy scrambling over the rocks as O sings "Valhalla, I am coming".

    I enjoyed the swedish original and I've read all the books (yes I know they aren't literary genius) but the 2 sequel are just very unremarkable and really drab, they are robbed of much of what makes the story work, maybe the extended versions are better in this respect?

    I don't think Fincher, Craig & Mara etc will blow the Rapace Tattoo film out the water but if the franchise continues they certainly have more than a chance of improving on those TV movie sequels.

    Yes, I read the books and I've seen the original movie trilogy and this trailer doesn't have the feel and the power of the story it's supposed to convey.

    When you have so many scenes edited together at split seconds frame and spit it out in succession; it's NOTHING! It EVOKES NO POWER, NO IMPACT!!

    Compare that trailer to the trailer of the 3 Swedish Original films:

    If you want a carbon copy of the original trilogy, why bother with the remake version at all? Why not keep watching the original?

    The point here is not to make a perfect copy, but to make an adaptation that stands on it's own.

    If the point was to remake the original films shot by shot, it would serve no purpose.

    If you want a remake like "Quarantine", that serves no purpose at all, and is basicly a poor shot by shot remake of the original... why bother ??

    There is something people are forgetting, it's clear from watching the swedish version that GWTDT is influenced by Fincher, yes there are hints of Silence of the Lambs but the film it really evokes is Zodiac with a touch of Se7en, critics mentioned this when it was released.

    I personally don't think the first film is paticularly good adaptation of the novel despite being a very good film, I might be wrong but Fincher and go will deliver a film more loyal to it's source.

    The thing that has been said is if it wasn't for Rapace as Salander this would considerably routine and noting special, just a another mystery thriller and apart from Blomvist nothing paticularly remarkable, it been said that the source material isn't that great and the books are very entertaining if slightly OTT.

    I can't imagine Fincher would have attached himself to this if he didn't see something new he could bring to it and that trailer is designed to peak peoples interest not to evoke the film it is, of course that's not the film, check out the trailer to Clooney's The American, if you'd gone by that it was loaded with action instead of a slow meditation which has hardly any action at all. The fast cutting etc is for the trailer to peak the average joe in the street not to satisfy someone like you.

    As an aforementioned average joe, I can say that that trailer did nothing for me.

    He must have just watched a Brosnan flick ;)

    On a serious note, I never thought I'd say this, but Trent Resnor should be ashamed of his butchering of Zeppelin's Immigrant song. Shameful.

    I'm not familiar in any way with the previous versions of the story (haven't seen the previous film, haven't read the novel), so all I can really go on is how the film looks from this trailer, which is pretty good. Not much, if anything, about the plot is given away, but what is on display here looks pretty good. Having Fincher behind the camera and Daniel Craig in front of it is really enough for me to be fairly optimistic regarding the quality of the film. Can't wait to see it.

    I think everyone is missing the point of the trailer. What we should be asking is who butchered Led Zepplin's "Immigrant Song"?

    Am looking forward to seeing the film though.

    It's Trent Renzor (Nine Inch Nails) and Karen O (Yeah Yeah Yeahs).

    I don't really think it's butchered. As a single, it would be horrible. But in the context of the film, it works.

    I agree that it definitely works a lot better within the context of the trailer, but I don't necessarily think that it's a terrible cover either. I'd be interested to hear the full-length cover on its own, not tied to the trailer in any way.
