First, I think we need stop saying that The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo is some kind of big disappointment. Did it fail to dominate the holiday movie season? Yes. Is going to pass the hundred-million mark at the box office? Yes. Let’s call it even. After a lackluster opening, Dragon Tattoo has been a surprisingly steady performer for Sony, which is likely why they’re going ahead with the sequels, The Girl Who Played with Fire and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet’s Nest (the second option being sheer stubbornness). Full Story

I was quick to jump on the US Girl With The Dragon Tattoo movie bandwagon after the first trailers were released. I was ready to love it. To be super impressed. To fangirl over a version that I initially labelled unnecessary. Then I saw it. Dragon Tattoo Girl For America is a solid B+. It’s good. It’s watchable. Full Story

I read a quote from Rooney Mara today on Celebitchy from her interview with Allure and I thought to myself - you cannot possibly be this annoying already. So I went the Allure article to see for myself and, indeed, she really is that annoying already. Full Story

In the November issue of Vogue.It’s Rooney Mara AND her creator David Fincher. Yes. I said creator. Read the article and see if you don’t feel the same way afterwards. One of the BEST Vogue celebrity profiles in a LONG, LONG time. So much better than the generic and safe Sarah Jessica Parker/Jennifer Garner/Jessica Biel pieces we get all the f-cking time in fashion magazines that don’t offer anything insightful, provocative, or, more appropriately, because it is a FASHION magazine after all, stylish. Full Story

How is it already the end of September? David Fincher’s The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is due out in just three months. We’ll start to see the buzz build for it soon especially now that a second trailer has been released. And it’s long! Almost 4 minutes. Right off the top, the score for this film . Full Story

The other day, the first trailer for the film was bootlegged online. I like it more and more every time I watch. The clip is now legal, I’ve attached below. Now they’ve released an international poster. It hasn’t gone over as well as the video, at least not for me. I’m not sure Blomkvist is supposed to be Lisbeth’s protector. Full Story

As you’ve probably seen, Rooney Mara covers the new issue of W Magazine as Lisbeth Salander. No complaints about the photos at all. She looks the part, totally. But the article is not about Rooney Mara. The article is actually about acclaimed director David Fincher who is running the show on the English language movie adaptation of the Millennium Trilogy. Full Story

While Aaron Sorkin and The Social Network cast has been touring Europe on press for the film, David Fincher has moved on to his next priority, a project with even more expectation and anticipation than the last. Fincher of course is in Sweden directing the Hollywood version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Full Story
